Salzgitter Group Close to Breakeven Despite Challenges
In 2025, Salzgitter Group experienced persistent obstacles due to weak demand and high energy costs. Despite such challenges, Salzgitter's pre-tax result nearly achieved breakeven, reaching € -28 million, a significant improvement from € -296 million in 2024. The Group's performance was supported by a record result in its Technology Business Unit and substantial earnings from its stake in Aurubis AG.
External sales fell to € 9 billion from € 10 billion in 2024, mainly affected by declining steel prices and the sale of its stainless tubes group. Nevertheless, initiatives under the P28 profit improvement program yielded € 129 million in cost savings, contributing to the company’s financial endurance amidst global economic strains.
Going forward, Salzgitter forecasts sales near € 9.5 billion for 2026, with anticipated EBITDA between € 500 million and € 600 million. The company aims to bolster its resilience through cost management and strategic portfolio optimization.
