In his address, CEO Dr. Andreas Bastin emphasized strategic progress under the HERO@ZERO future strategy. A key milestone is the largest engineering and framework agreement in the Masterflex Group’s history, signed in the previous year. Serial production is scheduled to begin by the end of 2026, with full ramp-up planned for 2027. This project is expected to generate annual recurring revenues in the mid-single-digit million-euro range while strengthening the company’s technological position in the strategic target industry groups “Life” and “Tech”.
Dr. Bastin also highlighted the expansion of cleanroom capacities in the medical technology business area. By increasing controlled cleanroom space by approximately 20% by the end of 2026, Masterflex is responding to sustained strong demand from medical and laboratory technology sectors, creating additional capacity for growth in this attractive future market.
Another strategic focus is the international expansion of the aviation business. The groundbreaking ceremony for a new plant in Morocco marks a significant step for the Masterflex Group. Through its subsidiary Matzen & Timm, a state-of-the-art production facility for highly specialized hose and connection systems is being built in the Midparc free trade zone near Casablanca, laying the foundation for further growth in the aviation industry.
Dr. Andreas Bastin commented: “2025 was a year of significant strategic progress for the Masterflex Group. Despite economic headwinds in several customer industries, we achieved new record levels in revenue and earnings while simultaneously laying the groundwork for further profitable growth. With the largest order in our company’s history, the expansion of our cleanroom capacities, and the groundbreaking of our new plant in Morocco, we are strengthening our position in attractive future markets. Our HERO@ZERO strategy is increasingly generating tangible economic opportunities. We are making targeted investments in future markets, technological innovation, and sustainable solutions, thereby reinforcing our position as a leading international specialist for sophisticated hose and connection systems.”
