MS Industrie AG: MS XTEC acquires orders in new industries

The subsidiary MS XTEC, which specializes in high-precision 5-axis machining of metal components and systems, won its first orders from new industries in the third quarter. These include the defense technology sector, among others.

The successful acquisitions are the result of the “Business Development” unit established around a year ago, which operates independently from day-to-day business and the support of long-standing existing customers. The aim of the unit is to open up new markets and steadily expand MS XTEC's customer base.

“In the context of its most recent orders, the company particularly impressed with its flexible automation of production controlled by a master computer system. The combination of complete data collection and seamless parts traceability ensures highest levels of process reliability and transparency – factors that are of central importance to customers in technology-intensive industries. Based on this development, we expect continuous sales growth in the coming years. Additional investments are not expected to be necessary for this, as sufficient capacities are already in place,” says Armin Distel, member of the management board of MS Industrie AG.

Customer call-offs from existing business (“booked business”) are expected to remain relatively flat in Europe at the end of 2025 and to decline in the US (approx. 6% of total sales) due to lower demand. According to the latest projections by the Management Board, MS Industrie AG's annual sales in 2025 will be in a range of EUR 145 to 150 million.
