"We would like to thank all employees, all of whom worked together to ensure the success of Flottweg during the past year. Despite the difficult conditions, we have achieved a great deal together as a team," explains Dr. Kersten Christoph Link, the company’s CEO. "The decline in sales is attributable to external factors such as the weakening global economy. However, the increased interest rates also influence our customers’ investment decisions and have impacted business developments in 2024. Nevertheless, order intake in 2024 was good, which is why we are cautiously optimistic about 2025."

Flottweg currently employs around 1,230 people worldwide, 1,000 of whom work at the company’s Vilsbiburg location. Among these are 60 trainees. With an export ratio of over 80%, Flottweg’s internationalization strategy continues to prove successful.

Groundbreaking ceremony for the Process Center – focus on innovation and progress

The groundbreaking ceremony for the Process Center in June 2024 signaled the start of a new major project at Flottweg. The Process Center is an extension of plant 2, which opened in Vilsbiburg in 2021, and represents a valuable new addition to the site. The new technology center, with its laboratory, testing, office, and storage areas, will provide the opportunity to design customized solutions for customers even more specifically on an area of around 2,000 square meters. This will allow the separation technology specialist to meet growing customer requirements and support the development of new innovations and technologies. With around EUR 15 million for the Process Center, Flottweg is making a long-term investment in the future of the company and creating a basis for sustainable and innovative growth in the coming years.
