The 48th ordinary Annual General Meeting of Kardex Holding AG, held today in Zurich, saw strong shareholder participation with 74 shareholders representing 70.04% of the company's share capital. All motions proposed by the Board of Directors were approved, including the dividend payment of CHF 6.00 per registered share, which is scheduled for May 6, 2026. This dividend reflects the company's commitment to returning value to shareholders, based on its financial performance and outlook.
All members of the Board of Directors proposed for re-election were confirmed for an additional one-year term. This continuity in leadership underscores shareholder confidence in the board's strategic direction for Kardex, a global leader in intralogistics solutions. The company, which employs around 2,900 people in over 30 countries, provides automated storage and retrieval systems, material handling systems, and life cycle services, and operates as a global AutoStore partner.
The approval of the dividend and board re-election comes as Kardex prepares for its next financial milestones. The company will publish its Interim Report 2026 on July 30, 2026, followed by a conference call for media and analysts. The Annual Report 2026 is scheduled for release on March 11, 2027, with the 49th ordinary Annual General Meeting set for April 29, 2027, again at SIX ConventionPoint in Zurich.
For investors, the dividend payment represents a tangible return, while the board's re-election ensures stability in governance. Kardex's consistent performance in the intralogistics market, supported by its innovative product portfolio and global presence, positions it for continued growth. The company's focus on automation and efficiency aligns with broader industry trends toward smart warehousing and supply chain optimization, making its developments relevant to businesses seeking to enhance operational productivity.
