Climbing the value ladder
Date: 02.03.26
What were the highlights in 2025?
Despite an uncertain and sometimes challenging global economy, our business showed strength and resilience, maintaining its profitability through a steadfast focus on excellence and efficiency across all operations. We are continuing to invest in our global footprint and an important milestone was the inauguration of a state-of-the-art facility in Vietnam. This strategic investment will increase production capacity for marine and civil infrastructure solutions in the Asia-Pacific region. Another significant initiative is the expansion of our engineered polymer-coated fabrics facility in the US. This will strengthen our leading positions in aerospace and advanced healthcare materials.
Can you provide examples of your applications targeting high-growth segments?
We deliver solutions to several industries where structural trends are driving demand. For example, a major proportion of water and wastewater networks have exceeded their expected service life and are in urgent need of replacement or repair. In this area, we offer market-leading pipe seals and complete rehabilitation solutions, including innovative robotic solutions. We supply evacuation slides made from ultra-light materials to the aerospace industry and advanced coated fabrics for medical applications in healthcare. To promote the energy transition, we offer liquefied natural gas (LNG) transfer systems, ensuring safer and more efficient handling. In the marine business, our offering includes high-performance fender and mooring systems combined with digital solutions that enhance efficiency and safety in ports.
How will the acquisitions made this year support your development?
In 2025, we expanded our portfolio through strategic acquisitions that strengthen our customer offering and support our long-term growth in attractive segments. In the first quarter, we acquired NuFlow, a Canadian pipe repair specialist, which significantly improves our capacity to meet growing demand in North America for water infrastructure solutions. In the second quarter, we acquired National AB’s operations in Halmstad, Sweden, broadening our capabilities in niche automotive applications. In the same quarter, we also finalized the acquisition of Sico in Germany and the Czech Republic, further strengthening our silicone solutions offering.
How was the progress of your sustainability work during the year?
Our operations are becoming increasingly sustainable thanks to several locally owned initiatives. Each site has clear measures in place to reduce consumption, emissions and waste. Moreover, we are continuing to invest in our own electricity generation, primarily by installing solar panels. We also strive to be a responsible sustainability partner across all operations through various forms of local social engagement, such as cleaning public spaces, recycling campaigns, and educational and health-promoting projects in cooperation with the local community.
