Interroll sees stable sales in 2025 so far

Interroll, a Swiss provider of material handling systems, recently released its financial results for the first half of 2025. The company said the first half of 2025 witnessed a promising stabilization in order intake, despite a strong prior-year baseline and currency headwinds.

In the first half of 2025, Interroll generated an order intake of CHF 284.1 million, around $349.6 million. This is a slight year-on-year decline of 0.8%, but an increase of 2.7% in local currency. Sales amounted to CHF 247.7 million, around $304.8 million, up 0.1% year-on-year and an increase of 3.6% in local currency. The company said these results demonstrate resilience in a challenging market environment.

However, the macroeconomic environment remains challenging, it said. The company faces rising concerns over global trade conflicts in the second quarter, adding to overall uncertainty, which leads to delays in projects.

Founded in 1959, Interroll provides system integrators and OEMs with a wide range of platform-based products and services in these categories: rollers (conveyor rollers), drives (motors and drives for conveyor systems), conveyors & sorters, and pallet handling (flow storage systems). Its customers include brands like Amazon, Bosch, Coca-Cola, DHL, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, Walmart, and Zalando.

Last year, Interroll designed a light conveyor platform (LCP) to facilitate the handling of lightweight cargo with AMRs from Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR).  Interroll’s LCP AMR top module payload is a certified application in the MiR Go partner program.

Earlier this year, the company unveiled MCP PLAY at LogiMAT 2025. The company said this system reduces programming and commissioning efforts during system integration by eliminating the previous ‘one package per zone’ constraint, enabling higher throughput with lower energy consumption. 

Interroll highlights key 2025 milestones

In the first half of 2025, Interroll announced that it had achieved several key milestones, most notably securing its first overseas order from one of the world’s largest manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries.

Building on this momentum, Interroll announced that it has secured an additional order from another leading Chinese battery manufacturer for a project in the United States.

The company said the airport business continues to develop well, reflecting strong project execution and sustained demand for airport infrastructure solutions. A notable highlight was the order from Airports of Thailand for Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, further reinforcing Interroll’s market position in this segment, it said.

Additionally, the e-commerce sector is showing early signs of a rebound after a period of subdued activity. Leading e-commerce players are ramping up investments in logistics automation to meet rising service level expectations – a first indication of a potential new investment cycle and improving market dynamics, Interroll said.

This has been a key growth driver in the Americas region. Brazil achieved record sales, fueled by a surge in conveyor projects. In Mexico, Interroll secured a strategic sorter order, and in the United States, it saw robust growth from conveyor sales into robotics and warehousing applications as well as strip belt merge systems for high-speed sorting lines.

Looking ahead, Interroll said feedback from its customers and end-users is increasingly positive in the warehouse & distribution segment. This is supported by warehouse expansions (greenfield and brownfield) and continued momentum in the courier, express & parcel (CEP) segment, driven by e-commerce. Interroll also expects sustained growth in the airport business.
