Rieter has reported significant sales growth despite market challenges and has strategically sold its Winterthur site to improve financial stability, anticipating a gradual market recovery in 2024.

Target Information

Rieter, a leading global supplier of spinning systems, focuses on the textile industry with innovative solutions for spinning mills. The company's cumulative sales for the first nine months of 2023 reached CHF 1,092.9 million, reflecting an 11% increase compared to the same period last year.

The Machines & Systems group saw a sizable sales increase, while the Components group experienced a decline, indicating a mixed market response to ongoing challenges in the spinning industry.
