Syntegon equipment and systems registers strong third quarter growth

The CEO of the Syntegon technology solutions group, Torsten Türling, has welcomed its third quarter results, which reveal a year-on-year sales upturn of 14% for the first nine months of 2025, to €1.27bn, writes Neill Barston.

“Our growth and value-creation strategy is delivering measurable impact and underscores the trust our customers place in our business,” explained the company’s leader, as its financial forecast placed it on track for another record breaking year.

The business, which works across a number of sectors, has continued to produce machinery targeting the confectionery, snacks and bakery segments in terms of both packaging and processing systems, including its SVX vertical packaging line, which has been showcased at a number of key events including ProSweets, Cologne.

According to the company’s latest results, which follow a strong first half of 2025, group sales in the third quarter increased by 19% versus prior year to €448m. 

This is supported by reportedly strong underlying organic growth rate of 15%, with the company’s pharma business said to have been a particularly strong contributor, registering growth of 30%. Its rise in fortunes was driven by continued customer demand and new project wins, following the successful introduction of innovative technologies aligned with Syntegon’s growth strategy launched in 2024.

Consequently, as far as its results showed, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased by 37% to €75m, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 16.7%, up 230 bps versus prior year. 

Notably, continued innovation and new technologies contributed significantly to Syntegon’s third-quarter growth. Integrated vial line growth accelerated, enabled by the successful integration of Telstar, acquired in Q4 2024. As part of Syntegon, Telstar delivered a substantial margin improvement and attractive growth in its core freeze dryer business.

In the Food segment, growth continued to be driven by the new SVX platform, which contributed to higher margins through its modular and scalable design, with the company reporting strong interest from industry in its key system.

Torsten Türling, CEO of Syntegon (below), added : “With our global footprint and our innovative technologies, we are exceptionally well positioned to capture the long-term growth opportunities in our customer’s industries.”

Stabilising conditions
As the company noted, potential headwinds from global trade developments, particularly US tariffs, are being mitigated through its own financial and strategic countermeasures. 

This includes its globally balanced supply chain, and long-term customer partnerships. The company expects only minimal impact in 2025. In addition, the expansion of production capacities in the U.S. pharma sector is creating further opportunities for Syntegon.

Eros Carletti, CFO of Syntegon concluded: “Our strong Q3 and year-to-date results underline the financial resilience of our business. Higher volumes in attractive margin segments, combined with seamless project execution and tight cost controls, have enabled us to achieve another quarter of robust profitability. Our solid cash flow further reinforces our financial strength and provides us with the flexibility to continue investing in strategic priorities. We remain committed to driving margin expansion and maintaining a strong financial foundation.”
