Dear reader,

I am very pleased to inform you that, following the successful appointment of Len Binder to the management board, our eldest son, Ron Binder, officially joined our company on October 1, 2025. He will begin with an orientation phase, focusing in particular on the areas of digitalization and finance. Starting in 2026, he will join Len in leading the binder Group, with Len continuing to concentrate more strongly on sales, production, and engineering. For my wife and me, it is a special moment to see Len and Ron taking on responsibility not only as brothers, but as a strong team. Their collaborative, trusting partnership is an important signal for the future of our company, because stability and strength grow where unity is lived.

Like the previous year, 2025 was a very challenging year. Following the historically poor economic year in 2024, it was impossible to predict how 2025 would develop. What we have achieved together is therefore not a matter of course, and we greatly appreciate your support. The order situation improved over the course of 2025. A key factor in this success was our clear customer focus: we want to be more than just a manufacturer. We want to be a reliable partner guided by the needs of our customers. Looking ahead to 2026, the overall economic and geopolitical situation remains tense. We do not expect a significant economic recovery in 2026 and anticipate a similar level to 2025.We also made important progress in digitalization. With the launch of the Salesforce CRM system on November 3, 2025, we are creating greater transparency, more efficient processes, and improved connectivity across the Group. Further measures, such as the implementation of M365, will follow. In parallel, we are driving the strategic development of the Group: MPE-Garry GmbH will operate under the name binder mpe GmbH, Macrocast GmbH as binder diecast GmbH, and binder cable assemblies Bt. as binder manufacturing Hungary Bt. The Hungarian site in particular has developed into a fully fledged production location, making a decisive contribution to the strength of the Group.In addition, our former technology centre has been developed into a new technology hub, enabling production-ready manufacturing processes to be transferred into production more quickly and quality to be increased — a direct contribution to our Sales Drive strategy.

We are on the right track, but there is still much ahead of us. At the end of the year, we would like to wish you and your families a peaceful Christmas season and a good start into 2026. Thank you for your daily commitment, which is what makes our family business so strong.

In this issue, we continue our interview series with the management team and take a closer look at technology and digitalisation. We also introduce the new assembly machine for the 719 and 620 connector series and provide insights into the Connected by binder driven by Salesforce project.

Enjoy reading!

With warm regards
