Management Board continues acquisition strategy with unchanged discipline

"The first half of the year shows that our buy-and-build strategy in the Liner business unit is having an effect. The acquired Makplast A. Ş. and the assets of the thermoforming division of New England Plastics have made a substantial contribution to growth from the outset and at the same time strengthen the division's profitability. We continue to pursue our acquisition strategy with unchanged discipline and are constantly reviewing possible acquisitions that strategically complement our portfolio. Especially in a market environment with subdued demand, inorganic growth is a key lever for us to further develop the Ringmetall Group as planned," explains Christoph Petri, CEO of Ringmetall SE.

Forecast for the 2026 financial year specified

Based on the business performance in the first half of the year, the Management Board has specified its forecast for the 2026 financial year, which now expects consolidated sales in a range of EUR 195 million to EUR 210 million and EBITDA of between EUR 23 million and EUR 28 million. The previous forecast was for consolidated sales of EUR 185 million to EUR 205 million and EBITDA of EUR 21 million to EUR 28 million. Effects from possible further acquisitions in 2026 are still not included in this forecast.
