technotrans has presented its vision for 2025 with a transition to a single brand and a boost in revenue.
In a virtual investor event, the group adopted the 'power to transform' slogan, and guidances across the key plastics, energy management, healthcare & analytics, and print markets.
It plans to boost group-wide profitability, focussing on the four key markets, and will operate under the single technotrans brand. Planned revenue of between 265 and 285 million Euros by 2025 is to be achieved through organic growth, with an EBIT margin between nine and 12 per cent.
Selected companies - with th exception of gds GmbH - are to be merged and renamed in the coming year to strengthen economic and technological power, with thermal management - "the energetic optimisation and control of the temperature balance of complex applications" - as the group's core business.
Management board spokesman Michael Finger said the vision was that, "if there is a challenge or customer-specific enquiry in the area of thermal management, we develop and manufacture the better solution".
Removing boundaries between companies and transforming technotrans into a larger, stronger entity, will create synergy effects and efficiency gains.
He said the focus in 2021-2022 will be on stability and profitability, while 2023-2025 will be about profitable growth through targeted investments.
technotrans intends to maintain its market leadership in the "still significant" base business print, and raise existing potential for innovation within the industry by focusing on this area.
COVID-19 permitting, technotrans is optimistic about the next five years, with a "realistic and binding" growth strategy linked to corresponding KPIs: "Together with the entire technotrans group, all its employees and their skills and experience, we will successfully shape the company's future," says Finger.
