HPW Metallwerk: Successful financial year 2024/2025 with significant increase in sales

• Sales increase from EUR 158.2 million in 2023/2024 to EUR 183.4 million, strong growth particularly in the e-mobility sector
• High demand for innovative high-tech wires for e-mobility applications
• Further international expansion planned, particularly in the US market

Linz, 24 June 2025 - HPW Metallwerk GmbH (HPW), a manufacturer of high-performance copper wires for e-mobility, wind power and other industrial applications, presents its unaudited financial figures for 2024/2025 (1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025) and reports on the company's positive development. According to the figures, HPW was able to significantly increase its consolidated revenue from EUR 158.2 million in 2023/2024 to EUR 183.4 million. In the Automotive segment, sales rose by more than 44% to EUR 93.3 million in the past financial year. HPW further expanded its core segment for e-mobility applications in particular in the past year: the share of total sales in this area was 50.9%.

The positive business development is primarily due to the strong demand for innovative high-tech wires, which are used in the latest generation of electric motors and as connecting elements between electric motors and battery systems.

Insulated busbars made of copper or aluminium from HPW are dimensionally stable and therefore save weight and space. This means that the wires can be installed close together, allowing higher performance and efficiency to be achieved within the motor. A special polymer insulation enables higher voltage levels and makes the wires significantly more resilient. In this way, high-performance wires from HPW contribute to significantly faster load cycles and support the further development of electric commercial vehicles. During the reporting period, HPW was also able to acquire another market-leading international OEM as a customer for the production of PEEK-insulated flat wires. These will be used in the latest generation of electric motors. The various high-volume orders for the flat wires will start in 2025 and run for several years.

HPW has already achieved key operational milestones in the first months of the current calender year 2025. Among them, the company successfully completed a capital increase to further accelerate its growth strategy (see corporate news from 16 April 2025).

The new production lines at the Garsten site are scheduled to go into operation later this year. In addition, HPW is pushing ahead with its international expansion plans and expects a significant increase in both turnover and earnings for the 2025/2026 financial year.

Thomas Marek, CFO of HPW: ‘The very positive key financial figures demonstrate both the success of our growth strategy and the quality of our high-quality products.’

Harald Lackner, CSO of HPW: "We are active in a rapidly growing future market and want to expand this strong market position internationally. The development of the US market with the establishment of a local plant is an important milestone."
