Würth – Würth: a mood of cautious optimism

July 9, 2025
WURTH

The Würth Group’s preliminary figures for the first half of 2025 indicate a slight trend towards a return to growth.

 

In the first half of 2025, the Würth Group was able to increase its consolidated sales by 2.2 percent to EUR 10.4 billion (adjusted for currency effects, growth was 2.7 percent), while generating an operating result of EUR 475 million. The Würth Group employs 87,198 people worldwide (a decrease of 1.6 percent), with around 44,000 of them working in sales.

Overall, the business climate appears to be improving slightly, despite the erratic U.S. economic policy. The number of orders the Group received over the past few weeks points to an acceleration in growth in the second half of 2025. For now, the Würth Group is entering the coming months with cautious optimism. Measures taken by Germany’s newly elected federal government are fostering a sense of optimism in the national economy, which could quickly replace the previous pessimism and dissatisfaction among the population.
