The HARTING Technology Group has ended the 2024/25 financial year on a strong note, recording significant revenue gains and reinforcing its position as a global leader in connectivity solutions. The company generated sales of approximately 1.1 billion euros for the year ending 30 September 2025, marking a major recovery following several economically challenging periods.
After adjusting for currency fluctuations, the figures represent an increase of nearly 17 percent compared with the previous year. CEO Philip Harting noted that a turnaround had been expected after prolonged market volatility, yet the scale of the improvement exceeded initial expectations. He attributed the company’s renewed momentum to its wide-ranging market presence, diversified production strategy and strong global sales infrastructure, while confirming that HARTING anticipates continued growth in the coming fiscal year.
Much of the company’s expansion was driven by markets outside Europe, which continued to outperform domestic developments. Germany, traditionally an important sales region for the Group, faced another difficult year characterised by stagnant demand, slowing production activity and weak export performance.
Nonetheless, the broader international business delivered highly positive results. The Asia-Pacific region contributed strongly to the upswing, generating roughly 312 million euros in sales—an impressive 30 percent increase compared with the previous year.
This growth coincided with the company’s 80th anniversary and the 40-year milestone of its subsidiary in Japan, highlighting HARTING’s long-standing presence in the region. North and South America delivered similarly strong performance, with revenue rising by 33 percent to approximately 206 million euros.
The EMEA region, excluding Germany, also recorded double-digit growth, increasing by 11 percent to reach around 358 million euros. In contrast, sales in Germany slipped slightly by 0.5 percent to 221 million euros, with the automotive sector in particular struggling due to limited production capacity. Despite these domestic challenges, Philip Harting emphasised that the Group’s overall growth reflects its resilience and adaptability in a global environment marked by geopolitical conflicts, rising protectionism, inflation and growing public debt.
As part of its long-term strategy to strengthen resilience and maintain its competitive edge, HARTING continued its global expansion throughout the financial year. The Group invested approximately 74 million euros in research and development initiatives, as well as in new production capabilities.
Among the year’s notable projects was the development of a 650-square-metre technology centre in Bangalore, designed to support customer demand in India and accelerate the delivery of innovative connector solutions. Looking ahead, HARTING is preparing for its most ambitious investment programme to date.
In the upcoming 2026 financial year, the company plans to commit more than 100 million euros for the first time in its history. In addition, over the next five years, a further 75 million euros will be directed toward expanding its “Factory of the Future” in Espelkamp. The project will focus on consolidating production areas, refining manufacturing processes and centralising expertise within Plant 2 to strengthen Espelkamp as a state-of-the-art, future-ready industrial site.
According to Philip Harting, these measures simultaneously reinforce Germany as a business location and advance the company’s international development, providing a broader foundation for sustained long-term growth. The company’s commitment to sustainability also remained a central focus throughout the year.
HARTING reduced its total CO₂ emissions across all global sites to approximately 5,600 tonnes, representing an 18 percent decrease from the previous year. This reduction was achieved primarily through expanded use of renewable energy sources. The Group aims to eliminate its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions entirely by 2030, underscoring its dedication to climate responsibility and the long-term viability of its technologies.
The HARTING Technology Group is a global leader in industrial connectivity, with operations spanning 43 sales companies, 14 production facilities, and six development sites worldwide. Their connectivity solutions facilitate the transmission of data, signals, and power across various sectors, including transportation, electromobility, renewable energy, automation, and mechanical engineering. In the 2022/23 fiscal year, the family-owned company achieved sales of EUR 1,036 million.
