Building New Strength Through Our Own Efforts

WEBER had to reduce the number of employees at its Wolfratshausen site from 360 to approximately 300. The team reduction was achieved without resorting to a social plan and with only one layoff for operational reasons. This workforce reduction now strengthens our financial flexibility in the short and medium term for necessary investments.

“We see enormous opportunities for our products and solutions. At the same time, the European market is unlikely to be driven by growth impulses in the foreseeable future. The situation is quite different in China, India, or Latin America. There, an enormous demand for our products is currently emerging—not least due to the recently signed free trade agreements. We will consistently seize this opportunity and further internationalize our business.”

In doing so, WEBER consistently prioritizes its own financial stability and reliability. Corresponding assessments by renowned rating agencies continue to yield the highest credit ratings and unwavering trust from customers, banks, and partners worldwide. WEBER’s liquidity and cash flow remain stable and are well above the industry average.

Michael Paul, CFO at WEBER:

“Our economic performance, the very high motivation of our teams at all locations—not least the innovative strength and internationalization of our products—make the management, advisory board, and owner family optimistic about the tasks ahead. The completion of our restructuring process and our clear strategic focus mark an important milestone and form the foundation for continued confident and successful operations in the global market environment. Emerging stronger from this transformation process, we are consistently focusing on our customers and markets to operate more quickly, efficiently, and attractively in the future, as well as to further expand our customer proximity.”
