Interim Reports

CH-Wetzikon, August 19, 2026 – The Elma Group significantly increased order income in the first half of 2026. The disappointing net sales in the first half of 2026 will recover in the second half of the year thanks to the excellent order income and order backlog. As expected, the restructuring measures initiated during the reporting period to accelerate the transformation weighed on profitability and, combined with the relatively low net sales, resulted in a negative EBIT and a net loss.
