Kuhn Group booked net sales of CHF1.053 billion (approx. £1.1 billion) last year. This was 9% lower than in 2024.
The drop reflected the lower order book at the beginning of the year. Farmers’ willingness to invest improved throughout the year, although there were significant differences between regions.
The normalised dealer inventories and positive weather conditions in Europe led to more confidence and increased demand for agricultural machinery in the second half of the year. The dairy and livestock segment was also supported by high milk and meat prices.
North America, where additional import tariffs were increasingly reflected in rising purchase prices, was less buoyant. Kuhn continues to work on optimising its costs, and making capacity adjustments.
Significant increase in order intake
Overall, order intake rose by 16% from CHF966 million (approx. £927 million) in 2024 to CHF1.12 billion (approx. £1.07 billion) last year.
Driven by the higher order book, Kuhn Group expects an increase in sales this year. It also forecasts a higher operating profit margin than the CHF75 million (approx. £72 million) in 2025. This was 19% lower than the CHF93 million (approx. £89 million in 2024).
