Huber + Suhner AG Reports Strong Order Intake in First Nine Months of 2025

Huber + Suhner AG, a Swiss manufacturer of telecommunications products and polymer systems, announced an ad‑hoc statement on 21 October 2025 that detailed its financial performance for the first nine months of the year. The company is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and trades in Swiss francs (CHF).

Order Intake

  • Group‑wide order intake rose to CHF 818.7 million in the first nine months of 2025, an increase of 14.8 % compared with the same period in 2024.
  • Industry segment: CHF 258.0 million, up 11.5 %.
  • Communication segment: CHF 356.5 million, up 26.8 %.
  • Transportation segment: CHF 204.2 million, up 1.9 %.

The Communication segment contributed significantly to the lift, driven by large orders associated with a data‑center growth initiative. The Industry segment also experienced notable demand growth. The Transportation segment showed a modest increase, indicating stability after a period of delivery delays linked to U.S. import tariffs on industrial products and metals such as aluminium, steel, and copper.

Net Sales

  • Group net sales for the first nine months of 2025 amounted to CHF 659.4 million, a decline of 0.9 % relative to CHF 665.2 million in the same period of 2024.
  • Industry segment sales increased by 16.6 % to CHF 239.6 million.
  • Communication segment sales fell by 14.8 % to CHF 218.0 million.
  • Transportation segment sales decreased by 1.0 % to CHF 201.8 million.

The overall sales decline reflects the weaker performance in the Communication segment, offset by the stronger sales in the Industry segment.
