Buy-and-build strategy as a growth driver

“The first nine months demonstrate that our buy-and-build strategy is paying off. The acquisitions in the Liner Division have been successfully integrated into the Ringmetall Group and are already making a noticeable contribution to growth and profitability. The Liner Division also developed positively on an organic basis. We will continue along this path with discipline and further strengthen our portfolio selectively through suitable acquisitions,” explains Christoph Petri, Co-CEO of Ringmetall SE.

Guidance for the 2026 financial year confirmed

Based on business performance in the first nine months, the Management Board confirms its guidance for the 2026 financial year, as specified in greater detail with the half-year figures.
