Mid-term strategy
The current mid-term strategy provides the roadmap for profitable growth and for our evolution as a mechanical and plant engineering group that seizes opportunities in different market niches and customer segments. Our strategy is linked to four performance targets:
- 5 to 6% sales growth: By 2030, sales are expected to increase by an average of 5% to 6% and reach the new target of more than €6 billion.
- High profitability: The EBIT margin before extraordinary effects is expected to sustainably achieve at least 8% from 2024.
- Attractive return on capital: We are aiming for an ROCE of at least 25%, underpinned by high EBIT contributions from mechanical engineering and low capital employed in plant engineering.
- Increased share of service business: With its higher margins, service business is to consistently contribute at least 30% to Group sales.
In order to achieve our goals and expand our leading position in the world market, we continue to push ahead with digitalization (digital@DÜRR) as the central element of our strategy. In addition, we have identified four more strategic fields: global presence, innovation, efficiency and life cycle services. We have also defined four enablers, i.e. supporting functions that are particularly important for the successful implementation of our strategy: sustainability, mergers & acquisitions, finance management and people development.

→ Sustainability in the Dürr Group
Down to Earth:
In 2021, the Dürr Group celebrated its → 125th anniversary. The company has developed from a workshop into a global corporation. At the same time, we have preserved the spirit of a typical “Mittelstand” company: Our employees have a sense of reliability and quality, they react quickly to changes and take decisive action. Just as customers would expect from a ”Mittelstand” company. The hierarchies are flat, the paths short — and everyone pitches in. Even today, the founding Dürr family still holds more than 25% of the company.
