Recovery in Order Intake Amid Trade Uncertainty for Bucher Industries

Bucher Industries AG reported a stabilization in some markets over the first nine months of 2025, despite ongoing global trade uncertainties. The company announced a positive trend in order intake, notably in Europe, driven by its Kuhn Group division, which saw significant growth. However, group sales declined due to a weaker order book and low capacity utilization in the USA, leading to an adjusted outlook for 2025.

Kuhn Group experienced a notable rise in order intake, especially in Europe, fueled by increased investment from farmers and improved market conditions. Despite this, sales decreased, impacted by U.S. uncertainties. The division anticipates a slight decrease in sales and operating profit margin for the year.

Bucher Municipal maintained strong demand, particularly for electrified vehicles, while Bucher Hydraulics faced uneven demand influenced by trade tariffs. Bucher Emhart Glass reported declining orders, and Bucher Specials showed mixed results across segments. Overall, the group expects slightly reduced sales and operating profit margins for 2025.
