Chairman of the Executive Board - Stefan Dräger
“In 2025, we continued our successful course and generated the highest net sales in our Company’s history. Despite the unfavorable environment, we also improved our earnings before interest and taxes. Our goal remains to further increase profitability. We are also strengthening our innovative capabilities, expanding our expertise in the systems business, and continuing to develop our services.”
Finance and IT & Vice-Chairman of the Executive Board – Gert-Hartwig Lescow
“We increased our operating result and EBIT margin in 2025. Cash conversion remains high, enabling us to generate a strong cash flow. Our equity base and debt remain at a healthy level. The strong results enable the third consecutive dividend increase.”
Sustainability and Quality – Stefanie Hirsch
“We do not see sustainability and profitability as opposites, rather that they go hand in hand. Often, even small improvements that are implemented consistently can have a big impact while maintaining the same level of quality. Through our actions – such as reducing packaging – we are supporting our customers in achieving their own sustainability goals. By taking responsibility along the entire value chain, we create trust – today and for future generations.”
Safety Division - Rainer Klug
“Safety remains a key topic worldwide, both in everyday working life and in many other areas. Demand for safety solutions remains high despite the unfavorable situation in many industrial sectors. This is also reflected in our business development. Last year, our safety division continued its profitable growth. Our goal remains to expand our position in business areas such as defense and civil protection as well as cleantech, in addition to our core business.”
Sales and Human Resources – Dr Reiner Piske
“Despite all the geopolitical challenges, our sales and service organization has achieved great success. Our order intake exceeded the high level of the prior year and reached the second-best figure in the Company’s history. Our Dräger Services broke through a strategic barrier with net sales of over one billion euros. Our ‘Technology for Life’ remains in demand globally.”
Medical Division – Anton (Toni) Schrofner
“Last year, we returned to a growth trajectory in our medical division. We were able to grow particularly in the area of our therapy devices. Our introduction of SDC-enabled system solutions marks an important foundation for further growth and improved profitability. Our goal is to further expand Dräger’s position as a pioneer and innovation leader in the field of interoperability, i.e., the networking of medical devices.”
