Bühler Group Reports Stable Turnover and Rising Profitability in 2024

Bühler Group’s turnover remained stable in 2024, which was at CHF 3.0 billion (-0.8%) with CHF 2.8 billion (-9.9%) order intake. Their turnover grew by 2.5% to CHF 3.1 billion if we look at local currencies. Plus, EBIT rose to CHF 227 million while net profit rose to CHF 189 million. As a result, the equity ratio went to 52.8% and the net working capital was reduced by 15.8%.

This was the time when the company also witnessed a better Grains & Food turnover of 2.0% growth. However, Advanced Materials turnover was not that good due to global market uncertainties. On the other hand, customer service saw strong growth that rose by 9.4%.

Despite all these achievements, Bühler continued investing in innovation. That is where they spent CHF 138 million on R&D and launched 40 new products while opening research centres in Switzerland, Nigeria, and Canada.

Their global footprint was already very balanced, which also helped them maintain stability despite a decline in China.

If we look at their situation in 2025, stable volume development is their primary focus. Innovation, quality, and customer service are going to be their top priorities, as CEO Stefan Scheiber said, “Our purpose, as always, is to create innovations for a better world.”
