At its 2026 Annual General Meeting held on June 10, Masterflex SE (ISIN: DE0005492938) announced shareholder approval of an 11% higher dividend of EUR 0.30 per share for the 2025 financial year, up from EUR 0.27 in the prior year. The total distribution from net retained earnings amounts to EUR 2,885,500.20, with the remaining balance of EUR 28,884,973.27 carried forward. The meeting, which saw a voting presence of 66.25%, reflected strong shareholder confidence in the Management and Supervisory Boards, as all agenda items were approved by a large majority.
In his address, CEO Dr. Andreas Bastin detailed the strategic progress under the company's HERO@ZERO future strategy. A critical milestone was the signing of the largest engineering and framework agreement in Masterflex Group's history during the previous year. Serial production is set to commence at the end of 2026, with full ramp-up expected in 2027. This project is projected to generate annual recurring revenues in the mid-single-digit million-euro range, bolstering the company's technological position in the strategic target industry groups 'Life' and 'Tech'.
Dr. Bastin also emphasized the expansion of cleanroom capacities in the medical technology business area. By increasing controlled cleanroom space by approximately 20 percent by the end of 2026, Masterflex is responding to sustained strong demand from medical and laboratory technology sectors, creating additional capacity for growth in this attractive future market.
Another strategic focus is the international expansion of the aviation business. The groundbreaking ceremony for a new plant in Morocco, through subsidiary Matzen & Timm, marks a significant step. The state-of-the-art production facility for highly specialized hose and connection systems is being built in the Midparc free trade zone near Casablanca, laying the foundation for expanded activities in the aviation industry.
Dr. Andreas Bastin, CEO of the Masterflex Group, commented: "2025 was a year of significant strategic progress for the Masterflex Group. Despite economic headwinds in several customer industries, we achieved new record levels in revenue and earnings while simultaneously laying the groundwork for further profitable growth. With the largest order in our company’s history, the expansion of our cleanroom capacities, and the groundbreaking of our new plant in Morocco, we are strengthening our position in attractive future markets. Our HERO@ZERO strategy is increasingly generating tangible economic opportunities. We are making targeted investments in future markets, technological innovation, and sustainable solutions, thereby reinforcing our position as a leading international specialist for sophisticated hose and connection systems."
