In fiscal year 2016/2017 – which ended at the TRUMPF Group on June 30, 2017 –the company increased its sales by a considerable 10.8 percent compared with the previous reporting period, to achieve 3.1 billion euros in sales. Orders received increased over the same period to 3.4 billion euros, which is 21.0 percent higher than in fiscal year 2015/16.
For the first time in its history, TRUMPF has surpassed the mark of 3 billion euros in terms of both sales and order intake. The Machine Tools and Laser Technology divisions contributed in equal measure to this success.
The group’s earnings increased by 11.3 percent to 337 million euros. Our return on sales reached last year’s level of 10.8 percent.
Especially in the second half of the reporting period, we reaped the benefit of strong demand in both German and international markets. Exogenous factors such as the euro exchange rate and low commodity prices had a positive effect, with the result that we were able to exceed our planned targets by a significant margin.
Sales in Germany amounted to 622 million euros. Once again, the second-most important market for TRUMPF was the United States, with sales of 421 million euros, followed by China and South Korea. Business with South Korea has been developing at a particularly high rate, with sales increasing by almost 60 percent in the reporting period. These results have propelled South Korea into fourth place among all sales markets for TRUMPF.
In Europe, Italy and the Netherlands were among the most dynamic markets. Sales in connection with EUV lithography systems for the company ASML were particularly strong.
As regards our operations in Switzerland, production at our location in Baar was shut down this past fiscal year; its activities have been reassigned to other TRUMPF Group plants. The remaining staff at this site now handle sales and service as an annex to our production site in Grüsch.
In this past fiscal year, TRUMPF invested heavily in advanced technologies such as additive manufacturing, and has expanded its physical infrastructure at numerous sites. Completed construction projects include production and sales facilities in Warsaw in Poland and Neukirch in Germany, as well as a new logistics center at the company’s headquarters in Ditzingen and a demonstration plant for Industry 4.0
solutions in Chicago in the U.S.
At the same time, we have energetically driven forward the company’s digital transformation– with respect to both internal and external processes. In addition to our AXOOM business platform we have also implemented several new modules to the TruConnect range of networking solutions. One of our key product innovations was the TruLaser Center 7030 – the first fully automated laser cutting machine – which
we presented to customers at the Euroblech trade show in the fall of 2016. It will play an important role in the fully connected production of tomorrow.
In view of the changing market environment, and so as to better exploit opportunities for growth, TRUMPF has set up a new organizational structure, effective July 1, 2017.Among the new responsibilities assigned to the Group management team, a specific function has been created for a Chief Digital Officer (CDO) to oversee the digital transformation, and new areas of technology have been included in their mandates. As a
result, the Managing Board now consists of six members instead of five.
A continuing growth trend is also discernible in the number of TRUMPF employees, which increased by 6 percent to some 12,000. To each and every one of them, whether they work in Germany or at one of our more than 70 subsidiaries around the world, I would like to offer my sincere thanks, on behalf of the entire Managing Board, for rising to the many challenges of fiscal year 2016/2017, and thereby contributing to
the company’s success.
I would also like to thank our customers and business partners, whose invaluable support has helped TRUMPF to maintain and expand its leading position in our industry. This strengthens our call of duty and motivation to do even better in the coming fiscal year.
