INDUSTRY
Connecting challenging and critical applications with reliable solutions, ensuring lifetime data integrity and power transmission – today and beyond.
Industry segment achieves double-digit growth and strengthens profitability
In 2025, the Industry segment recorded broad-based demand for connectivity solutions for diverse applications, steadily gaining momentum over the course of the reporting period. Order intake in the segment increased by 16.2% to CHF 355.7 million. All subsegments – Test & Measurement, High Power Charging, General Industrial, and particularly the Aerospace & Defense growth initiative – developed positively. Net sales climbed by 17.5% to CHF 325.2 million, also thanks to a strong contribution from the growth initiative, which benefitted from rising defense budgets and continued investments in commercial satellite programmes. The book-to-bill rate at the end of December was 1.09. The EBIT margin in the Industry segment improved by 100 basis points to 18.0%.
“In 2025, the Industry segment delivered a strong performance, achieving double‑digit growth in orders and sales while maintaining good profitability. Our Aerospace & Defense business successfully capitalised on favourable market conditions, contributed significantly to our overall results, and outperformed the market. Test & Measurement and High Power Charging also showed strong momentum, with both subsegments bouncing back from prior‑year levels. Furthermore, several of our niche applications developed positively. One example is Quantum Computing, where our solutions are helping to drive the next evolution in machine processing power.”

Increased momentum throughout the year thanks to broad-based demand
The Industry segment showed a strong development on a broad basis in 2025. The Aerospace & Defense growth initiative made a major contribution, continuing to benefit from rising defense spending and ongoing investments in satellite programmes. HUBER+SUHNER is ideally positioned to offer integrated solutions based on high frequency, fiber optics and low frequency technologies in this area.
The Test & Measurement subsegment saw a significant recovery in business volume in 2025 compared to the previous year. Positive demand dynamics can be observed, among other things, in test applications for transceivers used in data centers. Further opportunities arise from automation in test environments.
The High Power Charging subsegment also recorded higher order intake and sales in the reporting period. This was largely attributable to greater regional diversification, which is expected to continue in 2026. Furthermore, HUBER+SUHNER was also to win additional projects in market niches such as Quantum Computing and Energy.
