Trumpf’s recovery is taking shape. After three years of declining order intake and two years of falling revenue, the high-tech company is reporting improved figures again for fiscal year 2025/26. According to preliminary calculations, order intake rose by 7 percent to 4.5 billion euros. Revenue remained virtually stable at 4.34 billion euros, slightly above the previous year’s figure of 4.33 billion euros.

As a result, business performed better than expected last fall. At that time, Trumpf had anticipated that order intake would remain flat or rise slightly, while revenue for the group would decline.

The shift is particularly evident in regional performance: For the first time in quite a while, the U.S. was once again the company’s strongest single market. There, Trumpf increased revenue by about 16 percent to approximately 760 million euros (previous year: 661 million euros). Germany, which had traditionally been the most important single market, recorded a decline of 6 percent to approximately 660 million euros (previous year: 700 million euros).

China, the most important individual market in Asia, also fell short of the previous year’s figures. Revenue there declined by 7 percent to approximately 450 million euros (previous year: 482 million euros). Despite the decline, China thus remained the largest individual market in Asia.

“The increase in new orders makes us optimistic about the current fiscal year, during which we expect further growth,” says Trumpf CEO Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller. “While we remain cautiously optimistic, based on the trends of the past few months, we anticipate a slight turnaround in our business.”

This positive trend was evident across all business segments, explains Leibinger-Kammüller. “Despite the difficult geopolitical conditions, Trumpf managed to grow in all business segments. This included the machine tool and laser businesses as well as electronics and EUV with our partner ASML, which saw noticeable growth thanks to the significant increase in demand for semiconductors.”

The Trumpf CEO views the fact that the U.S. has replaced Germany as the most important single market as a sign of broad international momentum: “The fact that the U.S. was once again the strongest single market—and was able to replace Germany in that role—demonstrates the growth momentum in many markets worldwide.”

The company also believes it has made progress on strategic development projects. “In addition, we have made significant progress on key development projects such as laser-based drone defense,” says Leibinger-Kammüller.

As of June 30, 2026,Trumpf employed 16,960 people worldwide. In Germany, approximately 8,200 employees worked for the company, of whom about 5,350 were based at the headquarters in Ditzingen.
