The Executive Board presented a detailed report on the 2025 financial year and the strategic development of the STS Group.

These initiatives are part of the company’s broader strategy to strengthen its global footprint and operational performance.
CEO Alberto Buniato noted, “The past financial year once again demonstrated the resilience of STS Group. Despite a challenging market environment, we successfully achieved our objectives and continued to execute our strategic roadmap. We further strengthened our operational performance, continued the successful ramp-up of our plant in the United States and laid additional foundations for the future growth of our company. Although market conditions remain challenging, I am convinced that STS Group is today stronger, more resilient and better positioned for the future than it was just a few years ago.”
The company confirmed its outlook for the 2026 financial year, with Group revenue expected to remain roughly on par with the previous year, the EBITDA margin expected to improve further in the high single-digit percentage range, and EBITDA expected to be slightly above the previous year’s level. This outlook reflects the company’s confidence in its strategic direction despite ongoing market challenges.
