Very good performance despite a turbulent market environment
2022 was definitely a year that will go down in the history books for the Komax Group. The company has become some 50% larger, added over 1000 employees in eleven new companies and dealt with numerous extraordinary challenges.
Komax and Schleuniger join forces
For the Komax Group and the Schleuniger Group, the market for automated wire processing offers many opportunities. However, these require significant investment, personnel resources, and considerable expertise. In order to exploit these opportunities swiftly and efficiently, the two companies joined forces with effect from August 2022.
Continuously strengthening innovation
In 2022, the Komax Group invested a total of CHF 59.0 million or 9.7% of revenues in the development of new products and the optimization of existing ones. Innovations are of the utmost strategic importance for the Komax Group. The combination with Schleuniger is now opening up further avenues of opportunity.
