ENGEL Group has closed the 2025/26 financial year with revenue of EUR 1.4 billion, slightly below the previous year’s level (-6%).

The past financial year was shaped by structural changes across the industry, varying regional investment dynamics and continued cost pressures.

While market conditions in Europe remained challenging, investment activity in the United States gained renewed momentum. Asia overall proved resilient, with Southeast Asia and India in particular providing important growth stimulus as key markets of the future.

Growth was driven primarily by technologically sophisticated applications. Accordingly, the technical injection molding segment performed well, supported by orders from sectors including logistics and aerospace. The medical segment continued to operate at a high level, while packaging developed more cautiously.

“The challenges persist in what remains a highly volatile global environment. We remain firmly committed to strengthening our global footprint and our high-performance sales and service organization, enabling us to support our customers worldwide and create tangible added value for their success,” commented Stefan Engleder, CEO of the ENGEL Group.

Recently, the company secured several major customer projects in the United States involving technologically advanced applications, underlining the region’s position as the Group’s most significant addressable market.

Dual-brand strategy addressing diversified customer needs

ENGEL’s international production plants, together with its Austrian sites, form a robust global manufacturing network designed to meet evolving customer requirements. 

At the Changzhou plant in China alone, more than 1,000 injection molding machines were produced in the 2025/26 financial year, with approximately 700 additional machines manufactured across facilities in Shanghai and Korea.

This supports the further rollout of ENGEL’s dual-brand strategy: ENGEL focuses on customized solutions for highly demanding applications. WINTEC, the Group’s second brand, complements with standardized solutions for clearly defined applications, prioritizing cost efficiency and rapid availability, and enhanced by automation and digital technologies.

A call for long-term industrial policy in Europe

In addition to its internal transformation efforts, ENGEL emphasizes the importance of favorable economic policy conditions in Europe. Reliable planning frameworks and fair competitive conditions are essential to safeguard long-term industrial investment.

“Europe needs a stable, long-term industrial policy once again. This includes fair competitive conditions to ensure that industrial investment remains predictable,” Engleder added.
