High-tech and industrial laser company Trumpf has reported rather negative preliminary trading figures for the fiscal year (FY) 2024-2025, with CEO Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller stating that “the lowest point has been reached.”
The Ditzingen, Germany-based company stated that it had ended the latest fiscal year “as expected – with a decline in sales and order intake.”

 



According to preliminary calculations, in the fiscal year 2024/25 (ending June 30, 2025) the company generated sales of €4.3 billion (FY 2023/24: €5.2 billion), with an order intake of €4.2 billion (previous year: €4.6 billion).

‘Germany the strongest market’

In its home market of Germany, sales fell by 15 percent to around €700 million (previous year: €824 million). Germany thus remained the strongest single market in terms of sales.

Trumpf also recorded a decline in sales in the US. These fell by 17 percent to approximately €660 million (previous year: €796 million). Despite a decline by 22 percent, China was still the strongest Asian single market with sales of around €480 million (previous year: €615 million).

Leibinger-Kammüller added, “There were no signs of a real turnaround in the third consecutive year of crisis, either economically or geopolitically. Nevertheless, we believe that we have now reached the lowest point. Order intake and sales have stabilized at what we of course consider to be an overly low level.”

She said that Trumpf had responded to the continuing weak demand with clear measures to improve earnings. These included job cuts and cuts in external services and new investments in buildings.

“These measures are working,” she said. “We have achieved something almost unbelievable and saved around 350 million euros. This was a feat for the company, and, at times, was reminiscent of a drastic cure.”

As of June 30, 2025, the Group had 17,750 employees. Around 8,900 of them work in Germany, including about 5,900 at the Ditzingen headquarters. Trumpf will publish its final figures, including the results, at its annual press conference on October 22, 2025.
