Overview

• Diehl’s fiscal 2024 revenue increased by 22.3% to nearly €4.7 billion, with net profit climbing to €343.5 million.
• Sales at the Diehl Defence division jumped about 60% to €1.8 billion, driven by global demand for the Iris-T air-defense system including exports to Ukraine.
• Helmut Rauch says defense sites are expanding capacity in response to a surge in orders and increased political support.
• The group added over 1,000 employees in Germany last year, bringing global headcount to roughly 18,680 as workforce interest in defense roles rises.
• Non-defense units saw mixed results, with Aviation and Metering posting revenue gains and Metall and Controls hit by weak automotive markets and low heat-pump demand.
