PVA TePla AG, a leading supplier of high-tech equipment and processes, reinforced its medium-term growth objectives during its Capital Markets Day 2025 in London. The company aims to reach approximately €500 million in revenue by the end of 2028 while simultaneously increasing profitability targets to an EBITDA margin of 20-25% and a gross margin of 38-43%. This strategic direction comes as the company reported first-half 2025 revenue of €119.6 million with a gross margin of 33.3% and order intake of €103.6 million.
The company's growth strategy centers on two key divisions: Metrology, which focuses on acoustic measurement systems for the semiconductor industry, and Material Solutions, which addresses energy and aerospace growth markets. Jalin Ketter, CEO of PVA TePla, emphasized that investments in technology and infrastructure are strengthening the company's competitiveness in a challenging market environment. The strategic measures presented are designed to lay the foundation for profitable growth while reducing dependence on individual industries and cyclical market fluctuations.
PVA TePla is implementing significant structural changes to support this growth trajectory. Beginning in fiscal year 2026, financial reporting will transition from industry-based segmentation (Semiconductor Systems and Industrial Systems) to product area reporting (Metrology and Material Solutions). Markus Groß, CFO of PVA TePla, explained that this shift provides additional transparency and aligns with the company's clear margin targets. The new reporting structure reflects PVA TePla's evolution as it expands its technology portfolio across multiple high-growth sectors.
The company's expansion strategy includes substantial investments in research and development, production capacities, and global service infrastructure across Germany, Italy, France, Asia, and North America. The expansion of the integrated R&D center, known as the Technology Hub, accelerates the transfer of research results into industrial applications and shortens time to market for new solutions. This approach allows PVA TePla to address global challenges in digitalization, decarbonization, and mobility while serving diverse markets including renewable energies, aerospace, defense, and other high-tech sectors.
PVA TePla's strategic pivot toward broader market diversification represents a significant development in the high-tech equipment sector. By leveraging its strong technology portfolio across multiple growth markets, the company is positioning itself to capitalize on global megatrends while mitigating risks associated with industry-specific cyclical fluctuations. The increased profitability targets and substantial revenue growth ambition demonstrate confidence in both current market positioning and future expansion capabilities across international markets.
