Blum remains resilient in a challenging operating environment
Family-owned Austrian business Blum has recorded €2,495million in turnover for the 2025/2026 financial year ended 30th June 2026. This represents a growth of 2.4% compared to the previous year. Despite having to contend with an economic and geopolitical environment that remains challenging, the company says it is in a strong position and is investing consistently in its long-term success.
The Blum Group recorded a total of €2,495.44million in turnover from 1st July 2025 to 30 June 2026. "The operating environment remains challenging. Geopolitical tensions, increasing competition and various market developments have now become part of our reality. Yet, at the same time, we see opportunities and positive developments in many areas. What is crucial is that we continue developing as a business and move forward from a position of strength," said Philipp Blum, pictured right, MD of the Blum Group.
Martin Blum, MD of the Blum Group, pictured left added: "Our strength lies in identifying global shifts early while maintaining proximity to our customers. It is particularly during volatile times like these that our international presence proves its worth." Over the past financial year, 46% of the Group's turnover was generated in the EU, 15% in the USA (our largest single market) and 39% in the remaining markets.
Over the past financial year, Blum says it has continued to invest consistently in further developing its product and solution portfolio. "Innovation remains one of our key success factors and we are working hard on new solutions for our customers. We are looking forward to showcasing some of these new ideas at Interzum in May 2027," said Philipp Blum.
Over the past financial year, Blum has continued to make targeted investments in production machinery, buildings, digitalisation, R&D and the training of young people. Of the total of €168million invested, €120 million went to its Vorarlberg facility.
Blum expects the market environment to remain challenging. At the same time, the company believes the right conditions are in place for actively shaping the future. The combination of proximity to customers, innovation, international collaboration and a strong global production network provides the family-owned company with a solid foundation for its continued development. "We are looking ahead with confidence. Although the challenges are not getting any easier, we are convinced that with our employees, our customers and our long-term approach, we are well equipped to maintain our track record of success in the future," they concluded.
