Austrian hardware manufacturer Blum has presented its 2024-2025 fiscal year figures, up 6.3% to €2.44 billion in revenue. After two years of slight decline, the family business is returning to growth, driven both by increased sales volumes across its entire product range and by the integration, for the first time, of its Belgian subsidiary Van Hoecke into its consolidated scope. With 34 subsidiaries worldwide, Blum relies on a strong international presence that allows it to offset market contrasts. Momentum is positive in the United States, Eastern Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, while stabilization is observed in Western Europe.
The situation remains more tense in China, in an economic environment still marked by tariffs and protectionism. The brand is focusing primarily on innovation to strengthen its position, with 61 patents filed by 2024 and new products unveiled at the Interzum trade fair in Cologne last May. Despite a context affected by rising costs and regulatory complexity in Europe, the group remains confident about the future and intends to pursue its strategy of innovation and expansion.
