Global technology group GEA Group has reported strong financial performance for 2025, highlighting profitable growth and a positive outlook for 2026 driven by rising demand for sustainable processing technologies.
The company recorded order intake of €5.9 billion, reflecting a 6.7% increase compared to the previous year. Revenue reached €5.5 billion, while organic revenue growth stood at 3.7%, supported by strong performance in sectors such as food processing, dairy, and pharmaceuticals.
Profitability also improved significantly. EBITDA before restructuring expenses rose to €907 million, and the EBITDA margin increased to 16.5%, up from 15.4% in 2024. The company also strengthened its financial position by improving cash flow and reducing working capital requirements.
A major driver of growth was the expansion of GEA’s service business, which accounted for 40% of total revenue, as well as large project orders in areas like dairy processing and advanced industrial technologies. The company secured 15 major contracts worth over €560 million during the year.
Beyond financial performance, GEA made progress on its sustainability strategy. The company achieved key climate targets ahead of schedule, reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 62% compared to 2019, putting it on track to reach its long-term net-zero goals.
Looking ahead, GEA expects accelerated growth in 2026, forecasting organic revenue growth of 5–7% along with further improvements in profitability and margins. Strong order backlogs, rising demand for sustainable technologies, and organizational improvements are expected to support this growth trajectory.
