Masterflex SE (ISIN: DE0005492938) held its 2026 Annual General Meeting on June 10, 2026, where shareholders approved an 11% increase in the dividend for the 2025 financial year, raising it to EUR 0.30 per share from the previous year's EUR 0.27. The total distribution from net retained earnings amounts to EUR 2,885,500.20, up from EUR 2,596,950.18, with the remaining balance of EUR 28,884,973.27 carried forward. The meeting expressed strong confidence in the Management Board and Supervisory Board, with all agenda items approved by a large majority.
CEO Dr. Andreas Bastin highlighted the strategic milestones achieved under the HERO@ZERO future strategy, which are laying the foundation for further growth. A key achievement is the largest engineering and framework agreement in the history of the Masterflex Group, signed in the previous year. Serial production is set to begin at the end of 2026, with full ramp-up planned for 2027. This project is expected to generate annual recurring revenues in the mid-single-digit million-euro range and strengthen the company's technological position in the strategic target industry groups "Life" and "Tech."
Dr. Bastin also emphasized the expansion of cleanroom capacities in the medical technology business area. By increasing controlled cleanroom space by approximately 20% by the end of 2026, Masterflex is responding to sustained strong demand from the medical and laboratory technology sectors, creating additional capacity for growth in this attractive future market.
Another strategic focus is the international expansion of the aviation business. The groundbreaking ceremony for a new plant in Morocco, through subsidiary Matzen & Timm, marks a significant step. A state-of-the-art production facility for highly specialized hose and connection systems is being built in the Midparc free trade zone near Casablanca.
Dr. Bastin commented, "2025 was a year of significant strategic progress for the Masterflex Group. Despite economic headwinds in several customer industries, we achieved new record levels in revenue and earnings while simultaneously laying the groundwork for further profitable growth. With the largest order in our company’s history, the expansion of our cleanroom capacities, and the groundbreaking of our new plant in Morocco, we are strengthening our position in attractive future markets. Our HERO@ZERO strategy is increasingly generating tangible economic opportunities."
