Optimized structures and cost base
“In 2024, we took significant steps in implementing our strategy and as a result we are in a better position than we were a year ago.”
Beat Kälin, Chairman of the Board of Directors
Increasing the level of automation with Siemens in the US in a joint effort
“Komax has been a great partner in helping us to fully understand how its machines operate on the software side of things. We had unique requirements that fell outside of Komax’s usual use cases for wire list conversion. Configuration of all the machines required a lot of testing and validation and we felt fully supported on our integration journey.” Josh Robles, Automation Engineering Lead at Siemens Grand Prairie, Texas, USA
Continuous innovations for customers
To offer customers innovative solutions on an ongoing basis, the Komax Group has for many years been investing above-average sums in new developments, the optimization of the existing product portfolio, and the expansion of its service offering. Even in challenging years – such as 2024 – this has remained a firm focus of the company. In 2024, the Komax Group invested a total of CHF 74.3 million or 11.8% of revenues in research and development.
ESG – an integral component of the strategy
In the reporting year, the Komax Group succeeded in maintaining its total emissions in tCO₂e in line with its ESG target from last year, despite various acquisitions. In addition, the share of renewable energies was increased and significant progress was made in the areas of responsibility and fairness.
