Technotrans SE, based in Germany, successfully navigated a challenging economic landscape in 2024, completing a strategic transformation into a market-oriented organisation while maintaining financial stability, according to a press release.
Consolidated revenue stood at €238.1 million, down from €262.1 million in the previous year. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) reached €12.3 million, with a margin of 5.2% (6.0% adjusted for one-off restructuring costs). Free cash flow remained strong at €8.5 million.

The company’s focus on efficiency and market alignment, driven by the ttSprint programme, positioned it for sustainable growth. Technotrans restructured into four divisions, each responsible for its respective value chain, supported by centralised shared services. This streamlined approach enhances resource utilisation and bolsters competitiveness.
The Energy Management division was the strongest performer in 2024, achieving a 27% revenue increase. Demand surged for battery thermal management systems (BTMS) for leased e-buses and cooling solutions for data centres—key sectors where leasing plays a significant role.
Technotrans’ thermal management solutions contribute to the efficiency and longevity of leased assets, from electric vehicles to industrial machinery, strengthening its position in these expanding markets.
Despite overall economic pressures, other focus markets experienced mixed results. Print showed positive momentum following the drupa trade show, while the Plastics, Healthcare & Analytics, and Laser segments faced revenue declines.
Outlook for 2025: Growth in leasing-oriented industries
For 2025, Technotrans expects continued growth in Energy Management, supported by leasing-intensive industries such as e-mobility and high-power charging infrastructure. The company aims to achieve revenues between €245 million and €265 million, targeting an EBIT margin of 7–9%.
“With our successful transformation into a market-oriented organisation, we have set the course for sustainable growth. Our focus is on increasing profitability and strengthening our market position, particularly in Energy Management,” said CEO Michael Finger.
