Delfingen's revenue decline in Q1 2026

The Delfingen Group, a specialist in cable protection for the automotive and industrial sectors, reported revenue of €97.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of 6.2% at constant exchange rates. The automotive sector, impacted by weak demand in Western Europe and North America, saw its revenue decline by 13.7% (-8.3% at constant exchange rates) to €75.7 million.

Conversely, the industrial market grew by 2.2% at constant exchange rates, driven by the United States (+9.7%), partially offsetting the overall decline. High-potential areas such as India and China showed strong momentum, contributing 8% to growth in Asia.

Delfingen emphasizes the importance of its "local-to-local" model to capture growth in dynamic regions and continues its IMPULSE 2026 plan to preserve its margins and reduce its debt.
