Masterflex SE (ISIN: DE0005492938) held its 2026 Annual General Meeting on June 10, where shareholders approved a dividend increase of approximately 11% to EUR 0.30 per share for the 2025 financial year, up from EUR 0.27 in the prior year. The total distribution amounts to EUR 2,885,500.20, with the remaining balance of EUR 28,884,973.27 carried forward. All agenda items were approved by a large majority, reflecting confidence in the Management Board and Supervisory Board.
CEO Dr. Andreas Bastin highlighted strategic milestones achieved under the HERO@ZERO future strategy. A key development is the largest engineering and framework agreement in the company's history, signed in the previous year. Serial production is expected to start by the end of 2026, with full ramp-up in 2027. This project is anticipated to generate annual recurring revenues in the mid-single-digit million-euro range and strengthen Masterflex's technological position in its 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 strong demand from medical and laboratory technology sectors, creating additional capacity for growth in this 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 foundation for expanding activities in the aviation industry. 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.
Dr. Andreas Bastin 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 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.'
