Employing around 4,000 people across subsidiaries like Delignit AG, OBO Werke, DTS IT AG, and Aumann AG, MBB SE has demonstrated robust growth, surpassing €1 billion in adjusted sales revenues in 2024 while maintaining a high equity ratio over 60% and net debt-free status. Listed since 2006, it upholds a tradition of rising base dividends for 15 consecutive years, emphasizing sustainable value creation, engineering excellence 'Made in Germany,' and a multi-generational family business approach within the German 'Mittelstand' framework.
