In the first three quarters of 2025, the HOMAG Group recorded a significant increase in earnings due to the cost reductions realized. The continued weak market development in the furniture industry is reflected in the declining order intake and a slight reduction in sales. The HOMAG Group’s order intake decreased by 9 percent to EUR 939 million in the first nine months of 2025 (previous year: EUR 1,031 million). “Added to the already subdued market environment in the furniture sector was the uncertainty caused by trade policy turbulence. Against this backdrop, an increasing number of investment projects by customers from the furniture industry were postponed,” explains CEO Dr. Daniel Schmitt. “In contrast, the upward trend continued in production facilities for timber house construction. After years of subdued demand during the construction crisis, an increasing number of smaller and larger projects are being awarded again.” Sales declined slightly in the first three quarters
