Fasteners and industrial supplies distributor Würth Group shared its preliminary top-line sales figures for 2025 on Jan. 15, which were headlined by a new company record for annual sales.

Germany-based Würth Group said its 2025 fiscal sales totaled approximately $24.3 billion — up 2.3% from 2024 dollar-for-dollar, and up 3.2% adjusted for currencies. 

The company’s operating result remained at 2024’s level of $1.1 billion before tax.

In Germany, Würth had 2025 sales of almost approximately $9.4 billion that grew 0.8% annually (dollar-for-dollar), while sales outside of Germany totaled about $14.9 billion and grew 3.3%. The company noted that its Auto division reported positive development, while its Construction unit returned to growth with a healthy 6.4% annual gain after a 2024 decline. 

Among Würth’s allied companies, the company said that its Electrical Wholesale, Electronics and Chemicals units are developing particularly well and grew at higher rates in 2025 than the overall Würth Group.

Würth Group begins 2026 with 86,415 employees worldwide — down from 88,393 a year earlier — across more than 400 companies and 80 countries. Just over half of them (44,000) work in sales. Approximately 31% of Würth’s employees are in Germany.

“The Würth Group looks back on a challenging fiscal year characterized by geopolitical uncertainties and a weak economy. Against this backdrop, we are very satisfied with this result,” said Robert Friedmann, Chairman of Würth’s Central Management Board. “However, we are still lacking economic momentum in industrial production. We feel the repercussions of this, too. Even so, we are focusing on what lies ahead and are striving to maintain the momentum from 2025. With this strong push, Würth will continue to gain market share in 2026 as well.”

On MDM’s 2025 Top Distributors Lists, Würth Group’s U.S.-based subsidiary, Würth Industry North America, was No. 2 for Fasteners; No. 10 for Industrial Supplies; No. 11 for Safety; and No. 18 for MRO.
