Post by VAT GROUP

Yesterday, we gathered for more than just a shareholder's meeting — our Chairman of the Board of Directors, Martin Komischke, and CEO Urs Gantner shared a strong message of confidence, momentum and a clear view of what lies ahead for VAT GROUP. At our 10th Annual General Meeting at Olma Messen St. Gallen, nearly 450 shareholders joined us in person, a powerful sign of engagement and trust. Together, we reflected on a year of solid performance, discussed what lies ahead, and reaffirmed our ambition to continue shaping the future of vacuum solutions. We also marked 10 years since our IPO, a decade during which VAT Group has delivered one of the strongest share price performances on the Swiss market. All motions proposed by the Board of Directors were approved, including a 12% increase in the dividend to CHF 7.00 per share — a clear signal of confidence in our strategy and execution. The meeting also marked a personal milestone: after many years of dedicated service, Hermann Gerlinger stepped down from the Board of Directors. Since 2017, he has helped shape VAT with experience, clarity and strong commitment. Thank you for your lasting impact. As we look ahead, one thing is clear: the momentum is building and we are ready to deliver. Curious to learn more?
