Datwyler generated revenue of CHF 1'107.7 million and increased its adjusted EBIT margin to 10.7% in 2024, despite weak markets and tangibly negative currency effects. Solid free cash flow allows an unchanged cash dividend of CHF 3.20 per bearer share to be proposed to the Annual General Meeting. The «ForwardNow» transformation program will accelerate the planned growth in revenue and profitability. The one-off costs associated with this program had a negative impact of CHF 37.9 million on the result in the reporting year, with the reported EBIT amounting to CHF 80.2 million. Over the medium-term and in a normal operating environment, the company expects annual organic revenue growth in the higher single-digit percentage range and an EBIT margin of 17% plus. In light of market forecasts, Datwyler is cautiously optimistic and expects to see a continuous increase in revenue and profitability.

Momentive, Datwyler and BSC Computer announce their collaboration and the industrial market launch of solutions focused on the innovation of 'Dielectric Elastomer Actuators'.

As existing OEMs and new players in the mobility market continue to pursue and develop e-powertrains, we also, as a supplier of advanced sealing solutions, invest in innovative solutions to ensure we continue to support our customers. For battery electric vehicles (BEVs) there are many applications that require a different approach to legacy ICE alternatives. The most important area of focus for e-powertrains is the three-in-one assembly – the e-motor, transmission and inverter.

As a leading manufacturer with thousands of employees all over the world, Datwyler understands its responsibility towards the environment. And with electric vehicles being a vital part of decarbonization and reversing climate change, Datwyler has a leading role in not only producing materials and components in the most sustainable way possible, but advancing the mobility sector to become even more efficient and eco-friendly.

Datwyler will present its advanced portfolio for the new mobility sector at the International Suppliers Fair (IZB) – to be held in Wolfsburg, Germany, from 11-13 October. In one of the first in-person events to be held since Covid-19 restrictions were lifted, the company is excited to present its capabilities on a face-to-face basis, reinforcing the importance of working in partnership as the industry transitions to applications such as battery electric and fuel cell technologies.
