“In 2025, we succeeded in expanding our share of sales in new customer segments, such as industrial technologies or distribution and warehousing. At the same time, the automotive industry remains an important core market to which we contribute our many years of experience, technical skills and expertise. Going forward, we anticipate growing demand for outsourcing in this area—both from new market participants from China and from European manufacturers who are continuing to increase the flexibility of their value chain structures,” says Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of the Leadec Group.
