WE OFFER SUSTAINABILE SOLUTIONS
Wilo technology moves water – highly efficiently, reliably and sustainably. We are improving the quality of life of people everywhere in the world through our innovative system solutions and services.
Kö-Bogen II demonstrates how sustainable architecture transforms urban spaces into more liveable areas. Its façade, the largest green facade in Europe, features 30,000 hornbeams over eight kilometers, acting as a natural filter that improves air quality and lowers temperatures. Martin Belz from City Arc highlights that the greening reduces cooling energy needs by up to 30% and decreases ambient temperature by about three degrees. Wilo systems ensure the façade receives optimal water supply.
WE ARE A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY
Integrity, fairness, respect, passion and responsibility are the irrefutable values by which Wilo works and lives.
In north-east Brazil, families struggle daily for clean water, often relying on dirty sources. Edjane, a local resident, mentions walking kilometers for water. To aid these communities, the Wilo Foundation funded 17 cisterns in Riacho das Almas, with four built in 2022 by Wilo employees as part of the “Habitat for Humanity” initiative “Water for Life.” Brazilian-born Wilo employee Ingryd Diogo Pires emphasized the profound impact of providing direct help to those without access to clean water.
WE LIVE STRONG PARTNERSHIPS
The global challenges of our times can only be tackled by working together. We maintain a strong network of partners around the world and take responsibility for a more sustainable future.
The integration of theory and practice in the degree program is crucial. Through a partnership with Wilo, a laboratory featuring pumps in a fully digitalized environment was established at Heriot-Watt University in Dubai. This allows mechanical engineering students to receive high-quality training. Noel Reney, a mechanical engineering student, highlights the importance of gaining practical experience in the Wilo lab to compare theoretical knowledge with real-world experiments.
Oliver Hermes, President & Global CEO of the Wilo Group
Ladies and gentlemen,
In 2024, our world again experienced a dynamic year in both geopolitical and geoeconomic terms.
Once again, we have that old alliances are crumbling and trade barriers, sanctions and technology embargoes are further decoupling the global economy. The growth of new multinational collaborations and the establishment of new supply chains should no longer obscure a long unquestionable fact: the geoeconomic turnabout caused by this geopolitical upheaval has changed our world for the long term. The world has become more complex, more fragmented and more protectionist.
In this challenging market environment, the Wilo Group generated net sales of EUR 1,895.3 million, which corresponds to a slight decrease in net sales of 2.3 percent after adjustment for currency effects. Wilo generated adjusted EBITDA of EUR 189.1 million, with a corresponding EBITDA margin of 10.0 percent. At EUR 189.1 million, we were once again able to increase cash flow from operating activities compared to the high level of the previous year and to set a new record.
In addition, Wilo has laid the foundations for continued dynamic and profitable growth through decisive, forward-looking management decisions. Through the consistent further development and transfer of the proven region-for-region approach to the entire organisation, important organisational measures were initiated to continue the Wilo Group’s sustained success.
The Wilo Group is one of the world's leading premium providers of pumps and pump systems for building services, water management, and the industrial sector. Over the past decade, we have transformed from a hidden to a visible and connected champion. Today, over 9,000 employees work for Wilo worldwide.
