Gurit reported first-half 2025 net sales of CHF 164.7 million, with Wind Materials accounting for CHF 105 million. Wind sales declined by 22.9% at constant exchange rates compared with the same period in 2024, mainly due to the planned exit from the carbon fibre pultrusion business.
Despite the sales drop, profitability in the wind segment improved as a result of cost-saving measures, the closure of non-strategic sites, and a stronger focus on core materials. Gurit is prioritising closer cooperation with key Western wind customers and is finalising long-term supply agreements to secure stable growth.
Manufacturing Solutions, which includes blade mould production, recorded CHF 15.2 million in sales, down 24.5% at constant exchange rates. The decline was linked to US tariff-related uncertainty, with several customers delaying investments in blade lines. Stronger demand is expected in the second half of the year, especially from the Indian market.
Gurit’s restructuring, completed in H1 2025, has created a leaner organisation with lower costs, helping to offset wind market volatility. With restructuring charges largely behind it, Gurit expects improved results in the second half of 2025 and aims to secure mid-single-digit growth in its wind business in the coming years.
