About RENK Group AG

RENK Group AG is a German industrial specialist focused on mission-critical drivetrain and propulsion solutions, with an increasing emphasis on defense. Listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX) in Germany, the company traces its roots back to 1873, when Johann Julius Renk founded the business in Augsburg. Augsburg remains RENK’s headquarters, and the group operates an international manufacturing and service footprint, including eleven manufacturing facilities across Germany, the USA, Switzerland, the UK, France and India, supported by a broader global network of technical support and maintenance sites. ([renk.com](https://www.renk.com/en/company/about-renk/company-overview?utm_source=openai)) RENK’s core business revolves around propulsion and transmission systems for military and civilian end markets. Its portfolio includes gear units, transmissions, power packs, hybrid propulsion systems, suspension systems, plain bearings, couplings, clutches and test systems. This range positions the group as a highly specialized supplier rather than a high-volume manufacturer, with products designed for demanding applications such as armored vehicles, naval platforms, civil marine vessels and selected energy-focused industrial uses. The company’s value proposition is built on technical reliability, long product lifecycles and integration into mission-critical programs.

Over the last several quarters, management has deliberately sharpened the group’s strategic focus on defense technologies while preserving the Marine & Industry base. That strategy has translated into strong commercial momentum: in fiscal year 2025, RENK reported record revenue of €1.37 billion, adjusted EBIT of €230 million and a record order backlog of €6.68 billion. For fiscal 2026, the company is currently expecting revenue to rise further to above €1.5 billion.

In March 2026, RENK announced a major order for Puma transmission systems for the German Bundeswehr, with deliveries scheduled through 2030. In April 2026, the group also disclosed contracts tied to unmanned surface vessels for a NATO country and to HSWL 295 tank transmissions for an international NATO member. At the start of May 2026, RENK reported the best first quarter in its history for order intake and lifted its backlog to €6.9 billion. Shortly thereafter, the Supervisory Board extended CEO Dr. Alexander Sagel’s contract early until 2032, signaling strategic continuity at a time of exceptionally strong demand.

Its promotion to the MDAX in March 2025, after its Frankfurt IPO in February 2024, further increased its market visibility.
