Dürr Aktiengesellschaft (ETR:DUE) said its first-quarter 2026 results largely matched internal expectations, with management pointing to resilient performance in its automotive and woodworking divisions despite continued geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
CEO Jochen Weyrauch said the war in the Middle East had added “a lot of additional political and economic uncertainty,” but that the company’s two largest divisions “did relatively well” with robust order intake and profitability. The group confirmed its 2026 outlook issued in early March, although management said the forecast for the Industrial Automation division is under review following weaker-than-expected performance at BBS Automation.
