Engel: Slight Decline in Revenue in the Past Fiscal Year

The Engel Group closed the 2025/26 fiscal year with revenue of 1.4 billion euros. This means revenue was six percent below the previous year’s level. The company continues to face a challenging market environment shaped by structural changes in industry, regionally differing investment dynamics, and ongoing cost pressure.

While conditions in Europe remained difficult, investment activity in the US recently picked up again. There, Engel was able to secure several major customer projects for technologically demanding applications. The region is therefore currently regarded as the market with the greatest addressable potential for the group. In Asia, development remained stable overall, with momentum coming in particular from Southeast Asia and India.

Engel achieved growth above all in technologically demanding application areas. The technical injection molding segment developed positively, supported in part by orders from the logistics and aerospace sectors. The medical business remained at a high level, while the packaging segment developed more cautiously.

At the same time, Engel is continuing its internal transformation according to plan. The goal is to secure the company’s long-term competitiveness. A key element of this is the international production network. Alongside the Austrian sites, which are being selectively realigned as part of the transformation initiative, the international plants play an important role. At the Changzhou plant in China, more than 1,000 injection molding machines were produced in the 2025/26 fiscal year. A further roughly 700 machines were produced at the plants in Shanghai and Korea.

On this basis, Engel is expanding its two-brand strategy. The Engel brand focuses on customized solutions for demanding applications. The second brand, “Wintec,” complements the portfolio with standardized applications for defined fields of use, where cost-effectiveness and rapid availability are the main priorities. This offering is supplemented by automation technology and digital solutions.

In addition to its internal measures, Engel points to the importance of economic policy conditions in Europe. From the company’s perspective, reliable prospects and fair competitive conditions are necessary to make industrial investment plannable over the long term. In this context, CEO Stefan Engleder is calling for a stable, long-term industrial policy for Europe.
