It is people's needs, such as being mobile, being able to communicate, feeling safe, and acting sustainably that require an increasingly connected world. Therefore, connections between people, places and systems are essential for the functioning of our society. The resulting developments of our time, such as e-mobility, autonomous driving, urbanisation, connectivity, the Internet of things, augmented reality, smart cities, Industry 4.0 need components and system solutions from HUBER+SUHNER that differentiate themselves through performance, quality, reliability and efficiency. "These developments form the basis of all the company's activities and in particular in the five growth initiatives – Electric Vehicle, Advanced Driver Assistance System, Aerospace & Defense, Data Center, Rail Communications – with which HUBER+SUHNER aims to secure strategic growth," CEO Urs Ryffel explains at the first Capital Market Day.
Substantial investments in innovation, close proximity to customers worldwide and operational excellence are the pillars on which HUBER+SUHNER generates long-term value. "The targeted use of these strengths, an agile corporate and management culture, and a focus on megatrends safeguard the profitability of the business and ensure resilience in a dynamic market environment," Urs Ryffel continues.
The solid financing and strong balance sheet, the high equity ratio and the steady cash flow generation form the foundation for this. According to CFO Ivo Wechsler the company will continue to pursue an earnings-oriented dividend policy with a high payout ratio.
