Klöckner & Co Reports Strong Start to 2025, Eyes Growth in Q2
Klöckner & Co commenced 2025 with modest growth, reporting a 2.7% shipment increase to 1.2 million metric tons for the first quarter, and a quarterly surge of 13.9%. Sales reached €1.7 billion, slightly down from the previous year due to pricing changes. EBITDA, prior to special effects, remained stable at €42 million, consistent with the previous year's figure.
The company successfully divested its Brazilian operations, focusing on North America and DACH regions. Acquisitions in Germany and the US aim to bolster its role in growth sectors. Looking ahead, Klöckner & Co forecasts Q2 EBITDA to rise, estimating €60-90 million, underpinned by strong North American steel prices.
Strategically, the company aspires to lead the service center and metal processing sectors in North America and Europe by 2030, aiming for sustainable growth and reduced earnings volatility.
