Masterflex SE's annual general meeting approved an 11% dividend increase to EUR 0.30 per share, while the company reported strategic progress including a major framework agreement, cleanroom expansion, and a new plant in Morocco.
Masterflex SE (ISIN: DE0005492938) held its 2026 Annual General Meeting on June 10, where shareholders approved an 11% increase in the dividend for the 2025 financial year, raising it to EUR 0.30 per share from the previous year's EUR 0.27. The total distribution from net retained earnings amounts to EUR 2,885,500.20, with the remaining balance of EUR 28,884,973.27 carried forward to new account. All agenda items were approved by a large majority, reflecting confidence in the Management Board and Supervisory Board.
CEO Dr. Andreas Bastin highlighted the strategic progress achieved under the HERO@ZERO future strategy, emphasizing three key milestones. The largest engineering and framework agreement in the Masterflex Group's history was concluded last year, with serial production expected to start at the end of 2026 and full ramp-up by 2027. This project is anticipated to generate annual recurring revenues in the mid-single-digit million-euro range, strengthening the company's technological position in the strategic target industry groups 'Life' and 'Tech'.
In the medical technology business area, Masterflex is expanding its cleanroom capacities by approximately 20% by the end of 2026. This investment responds to sustained strong demand from medical and laboratory technology sectors, creating additional capacity for growth in this attractive future market. Furthermore, the company is advancing its international aviation business through its subsidiary Matzen & Timm, with a groundbreaking ceremony for a new plant in Morocco's Midparc free trade zone near Casablanca. This state-of-the-art facility will produce highly specialized hose and connection systems.
Dr. Bastin commented: '2025 was a year of significant strategic progress for the Masterflex Group. Despite economic headwinds, we achieved new record levels in revenue and earnings while laying the groundwork for further profitable growth. With the largest order in our history, cleanroom expansion, and the new plant in Morocco, we are strengthening our position in attractive future markets. Our HERO@ZERO strategy is generating tangible economic opportunities, and we are making targeted investments in future markets, technological innovation, and sustainable solutions.'
