The company also recorded approximately €1 billion in new orders while operating profit improved significantly, with EBIT rising from €11.6 million to €41.4 million.
Plasser & Theurer said the recovery follows a transformation programme launched during 2024 which focused on improving profitability, delivery capability and long term strategic growth.
The business now holds an order backlog valued at more than €1.6 billion, providing strong medium term visibility and supporting expectations for continued expansion.
Despite the improved results, the company warned that economic and geopolitical pressures remain challenging across international markets.
Plasser & Theurer exports around 93 per cent of its products from Austria and said competition from lower cost and subsidised international manufacturers continues to place pressure on European industry.
The company also highlighted rising energy costs, labour expenses and regulatory requirements as ongoing challenges affecting competitiveness.
To strengthen its long term position, Plasser & Theurer is continuing investment into production and advanced rail technologies.
A new assembly and commissioning facility at the company’s Linz site is nearing completion following an investment of more than €60 million, the largest single investment in the company’s history in Austria.
The factory is expected to create around 80 new jobs while supporting production of modern track maintenance machines, including vehicles equipped with hybrid propulsion systems designed to reduce CO2 emissions.
Plasser & Theurer said the investment will improve production efficiency while strengthening international delivery capabilities for future rail infrastructure projects worldwide.
