The Würth Group set a new record for annual sales in 2025 despite a “challenging” environment, the German distribution giant announced Wednesday.
The company said that sales reached about 20.7 billion euros during the year — over $24 billion — an increase of 3.2% over 2024 sales when adjusted for currencies. Operating results were flat year-over-year at shy of $1.1 billion before tax.
Sales in Germany were up 0.8% over that span, while its operations outside its home market — including Würth Industry of North America — rose by 3.3%.
Würth officials said that its construction sales returned to growth last year and that its electronics, electrical wholesale and chemicals units are “developing particularly well.”
Robert Friedmann, chairman of the group’s central management board, said that the company was “satisfied” with the results amid a year “characterized by geopolitical uncertainties and a weak economy,” but that “we are still lacking economic momentum in industrial production.”
“We feel the repercussions of this, too,” Friedmann said in the statement. “Even so, we are focusing on what lies ahead and are striving to maintain the momentum from 2025.
“With this strong push, Würth will continue to gain market share in 2026, as well.”
