Nexans autoelectric Reports Positive Annual Results Despite Challenging Market Conditions
Floß, March 30, 2026. The Upper Palatinate-based automotive supplier looks back on a challenging fiscal year but, despite the difficult market conditions, has closed the year with a positive result. With over 30 locations worldwide, the group generated total revenue of 708 million euros.
Broad Portfolio as an Anchor of Stability
It is no coincidence that the company remains in the black even in a year when leading European automakers—who are among the group’s main customers—are affected by sharp declines in sales, particularly in Asia, and are in some cases realigning their product strategies. Nexans autoelectric supplies its customers with a broad mix of components, vehicle electrical systems, and cable harnesses for various powertrain concepts—from conventional internal combustion engines to fully electric vehicles. “We are not dependent on a single technology or just one customer segment,” says CEO Gregor Spuhler. “Combined with effective crisis management—for example, in the event of supply chain issues—this ensures a certain level of resilience when the market and external factors undergo significant changes.”
Nevertheless, Gregor Spuhler clearly identifies the headwinds for 2025: growing competition in key markets from Asian automakers and suppliers, uncertainties stemming from U.S. economic policy, and project delays on the customer side. For 2026, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East is now added to the mix. “Once the geopolitical situation stabilizes, we can expand our investment plans again. Starting in the fourth quarter of 2026, we expect to return to a stable growth trajectory.”
New Owner with a Clear Commitment to the Locations
An important positive milestone in the current year: In the second half of the year, the Nexans autoelectric Group is expected to gain a new owner: Samvardhana Motherson International Limited, one of the world’s leading automotive suppliers—with a clear commitment to the autoelectric Group’s growth strategy and locations.
