On October 1, 2026, GESCO SE announced the acquisition of ARKU Maschinenbau GmbH, a company known for its precision straightening and deburring machines, along with coil lines. This strategic move aims to enhance GESCO's market presence and financial outlook for the coming year.

Headquartered in Baden-Baden, ARKU employs 189 people globally and projects over €50 million in revenue for 2026. Thanks to this acquisition, GESCO anticipates a revenue boost in 2026, increasing its forecast from €515-530 million to €525-543 million. However, ARKU's contribution to net earnings is expected to be neutral due to consolidation costs and transaction expenses.

The acquisition details, including the purchase price, remain undisclosed. Despite this, the forecast for GESCO's consolidated net income stays between €15-20 million. GESCO's decision bolsters its future financial prospects, though immediate earnings impact is limited.
