DELO reported today that the company generated record revenue in its completed fiscal year, which ended March 31, 2026. The company reported sales of €264 million ($304 million), which represent growth of 8% compared to the previous year. The company achieved sales growth and expanded its workforce despite challenging global economic conditions.

East Asia remained the most important revenue region with a 53% share, followed by Europe at 27%, and North and South America at 13%. Southeast Asia contributed seven percent to total revenue. South Korea and China were among the fastest-growing markets. Key industries continued to be semiconductors, automotive, and consumer electronics. Research and development investments accounted for 15% of revenue — approximately four times the industry average.

“Despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, we can look back on a successful fiscal year,” said Dr. Wolf Herold, managing partner of DELO. “Our international presence, particularly in East Asia, and diversification across various technology sectors are proving to be stabilizing factors in a challenging market environment.”

Expansion

Construction projects at the company’s Windach, Germany, headquarters are progressing. A new logistics building and an additional laboratory building will be commissioned by the end of 2026. Construction of a representative forum will be completed in 2027. Construction of a production facility in Malaysia is planned to begin at the end of this year.

Renewable Energy

DELO reports that it is continuing its investments in renewable energy and commissioned another photovoltaic system with 1,330 modules on the new logistics building. With a peak output of 600 kWp, it contributes to sustainable energy supply. A total of 5,300 modules now generate solar power for DELO — enough to supply approximately 550 households. More than 90% of the electricity is used for internal consumption. The buildings under construction will also receive additional PV modules.

DELO also reported that its workforce grew to 1,215 at the end of the fiscal year, representing an increase of nearly five percent compared to the previous year.
