GEA performance 2023
“In the face of the numerous challenges in fiscal year 2023, we managed to further improve our key financial figures. This is yet again testament to our strength and resilience,” says CEO Stefan Klebert. “We would not have achieved these results without our employees, whose extraordinary commitment is crucial to our success. I would like to thank each and every one of them for their vital contribution.”
Key financial figures

The wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, a difficult economic situation with high inflation rates and rising interest rates weighed on industry and the economy. Nevertheless, GEA succeeded in further improving its key performance indicators and once again holding its own in a difficult environment.
