Würth Group, the German fastener and assembly materials wholesaler, grew first-half revenue by 4.3 percent to 10.9 billion euros in 2026, while operating profit climbed 8.4 percent to 515 million euros, up from 475 million a year earlier. The family-owned conglomerate invested roughly 200 million euros more than in the prior year on warehouse expansion, signaling confidence in logistics capacity despite an uncertain macro environment.
Chief Executive Robert Friedmann expressed tempered optimism for the second half, citing geopolitical risks including the Iran war. Growth momentum was supported by Eastern Europe and South America, regions that offset softer demand elsewhere.
For the full year, Friedmann expects mid-single-digit percentage revenue growth, with operating profit projected to surpass one billion euros in 2026.
