Among the Group’s Allied Companies, the Electrical Wholesale, Electronics, and Chemicals units are developing particularly well. They all grew at higher rates than the overall Würth Group.

“The Würth Group looks back on a challenging fiscal year characterized by geopolitical uncertainties and a weak economy. Against this backdrop, we are very satisfied with this result,” said Robert Friedmann, Chairman of the Central Management Board of the Würth Group. “However, we are still lacking economic momentum in industrial production. We feel the repercussions of this, too. 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.”
