Dear shareholders,
In the 2024 reporting year, Zehnder Group made significant progress towards becoming a leading international supplier of indoor climate systems. In line with our strategic objectives, we sold the non-core Climate Ceiling Solutions division and made the necessary capacity adjustments in radiator production. With the acquisition of the Spanish ventilation specialist Siber, we have reached an important milestone and consolidated our market position in Southern Europe.
