Financial results

In 2025, Endress+Hauser generated over four billion euros in sales for the first time. Its successful integration of sensor manufacturer SICK’s gas analysis and gas measurement technology enabled good growth. Worldwide, the Swiss measurement and automation technology specialist created new jobs and invested at record levels. The company maintained solid profitability despite strong downward currency effects on sales and its bottom line. 

The Group’s net sales were up 7.2 percent to 4.01 billion euros – an all-time high. This was due largely to the expansion of Endress+Hauser’s product offering through the incorporation of SICK’s gas analysis and gas measurement technology range. The strategic partnership with the German sensor manufacturer took effect at the start of 2025, with sales and service for these instruments in 46 countries transferring to Endress+Hauser, and development and production handled by a joint venture.

Strong exchange rate effects 

CFO Dr Luc Schultheiss put the Group’s organic growth – i.e., adjusted for exchange rate effects and acquisitions – at 2.6 percent. The negative currency translation effects cost Endress+Hauser about 3.3 percentage points of growth. The company also felt the effects of investment restraint in the chemical industry. On the other hand, it saw positive momentum from the AI boom: The cooling and energy systems of new data centers require a lot of measurement instrumentation. 

Fast-moving US business 

The USA remained the top market by sales, yielding strong growth despite the tariffs. Overall, the company’s sales in the Americas grew 10.1 percent. Sales in Europe were up 11.6 percent. In Germany, the company’s third-largest market, sales were down, as was also the case in Switzerland. Africa and the Middle East grew 7.4 percent. In its Asia-Pacific region, Endress+Hauser saw a 1.4 percent decrease in sales, due largely to weakness in China, its second-largest market.

New jobs, substantial investment 

At the end of 2025, the Group had 18,306 employees, up 7.4 percent. Here, too, the increase was driven by the strategic partnership with SICK, with over 800 sales and service personnel switching to Endress+Hauser. The company maintained a good level of profitability, recording a net income of 321.3 million euros, equaling a 10.7 percent return on sales. To remain viable into the future, Endress+Hauser invested a record 370.8 million euros in new buildings, plant, IT and software. 

Focusing on strengths 

In 2026, Endress+Hauser aims to achieve growth in the middle single-digit percentage range and create 250 new jobs, although the war in the Middle East is creating even greater economic uncertainty. CEO Peter Selders: “In this situation we will focus on what has made us strong in the past: staying close to the market and our customers, being a reliable, high-quality supplier, growing our network and portfolio and developing new business opportunities. We remain focused on growth.”
