Wolfratshausen – “It demonstrates exceptional economic stability and financial independence when WEBER Schraubautomaten GmbH can look confidently towards the coming months despite political and global economic challenges. With the innovative strength of our employees, the prudent actions of our management, and the foresight of our leadership team, we will overcome the current economic downturn in many areas of the industry,” explains Karl Bujnowski, CEO of the WEBER Group.

Compared to the industry average reported by VDMA, WEBER has performed better, as the decline in revenue and order intake was less pronounced than in the overall sector.

CrefoZert with the highest possible credit rating

Currently, the traditional company WEBER is also affected by economic misdevelopments in Germany and Europe. Additionally, there is an uncertain political climate just before the newly elected U.S. president takes office. These two factors are largely responsible for the decline in incoming orders at WEBER in recent weeks. German and European customers are very cautious about investing and expanding their facilities for the automation of assembly processes.
“In these economically challenging times, the awarded recognition for excellent creditworthiness, impeccable business conduct, and a positive outlook for the future helps us face the current challenges with greater confidence and focus,” explains Michael Paul, Commercial Director at WEBER.

Automotive Industry Undergoing Change – WEBER is Prepared

At the same time, WEBER is actively countering the economic challenges. Numerous process workflows in production and administration are currently being optimized to operate as cost-efficiently as possible. In addition, comprehensive measures for digitalization are being implemented across all parts of the company. These initiatives also contribute to cost reduction and provide WEBER with financial flexibility in the short and medium term.
Bujnowski: “We are witnessing massive pressure on the automotive industry in Germany. Similar trends can be observed in other sectors of industry, crafts, and the service sector. This impacts companies like WEBER, which supply these clients with machines and systems for automation. I am confident that we will see a recovery in these areas in the first quarter of 2025, which will also benefit WEBER.”

While these times are certainly challenging, we are well-equipped to face these challenges,” said Bujnowski.
