Key highlights included the expansion of the U.S. plant in Salem, Virginia, and the construction of a new plant in Taixing, China, which is expected to begin operations in 2026. CEO Alberto Buniato stated, “The past financial year once again demonstrated the resilience of STS Group. Despite a challenging market environment, we successfully achieved our objectives and continued to execute our strategic roadmap. We further strengthened our operational performance, continued the successful ramp-up of our plant in the United States and laid additional foundations for the future growth of our company.”
The Executive Board confirmed the outlook for the 2026 financial year, projecting Group revenue roughly on par with the previous year, an improved EBITDA margin in the high single-digit percentage range, and EBITDA slightly above the 2025 level. This announcement underscores the company's confidence in its strategic direction despite ongoing market challenges.
The meeting also highlighted STS Group's financial performance and consistent implementation of its strategic development plan. The company employs about 1,400 people worldwide and generated consolidated revenues of EUR 292.0 million in the 2025 financial year. With plants and development centers in France, Germany, Mexico, China, and soon the USA, STS Group produces injection-molded plastics and sheet molding compounds for vehicle trim, interior systems, and electric vehicle components.
The Annual General Meeting's outcomes are significant for shareholders and the automotive industry, as STS Group continues to expand its global footprint and technological leadership in plastic injection molding and composite components.
