Delfingen Reports First Quarter 2026 Sales

Delfingen reported net sales of €97.1 million for the first quarter of 2026, reflecting a decline of 11.7%. This decrease occurred in a challenging automotive market, with a 6.2% drop at constant exchange rates. The industrial market, however, saw a growth of 2.2%, driven significantly by the United States.

The contrast was evident as automotive revenue fell by 13.7%, primarily due to reduced demand in Western Europe and North America. Yet, high-growth regions like India, China, and North Africa demonstrated robust performance, confirming the "local-to-local" approach's effectiveness.

Regionally, Europe-Africa sales decreased by 7.4%, and the Americas fell by 9.9% at constant exchange rates. Asia, however, grew by 8.0%, underpinned by strong market activity in India and China. Delfingen remains committed to its IMPULSE 2026 plan, focusing on strategic growth areas in a volatile market environment.
