Pöttinger concluded financial year 2025/26 (ended 31 July) with a satisfactory overall result. In the face of headwinds in a challenging economic environment and volatile agricultural markets, the company again managed to grow revenue. Particularly grassland machines contributed to the positive result.
Following a record year in 2022/23, with revenues of EUR 641 million, and a subsequent downturn (EUR 461 million in 2024/25), the trend is now on the way up again. In financial year 2025/26 revenues amounted to EUR 485 million, which represents an increase of 5 percent. Developments in the grassland technology division are pleasing. Market shares remain at a high level and have even increased in the haymaking machines and loader wagon sectors.
With an export ratio that has been at a steady 90 percent for many years, France and Germany are among the most important export markets. Independently of this, above-average growth was achieved year on year in Austria, the company’s all-important domestic market.
New machinery and software
Pöttinger regularly launches new products. In 2026, Pöttinger released a major update to the popular Harvest Assist app. The latest 4.0 version of the software displays the location of machines, organizes processes, tracks harvest progress, and provides navigation guidance, all of which make forage harvesting more cost effective.
The new machines launched include the Aerosem M implement-mounted seed drill, the Aerosem F seed drill with front hopper, and the Synkro universal cultivator. The test phase for the Puro H 3000 precision planter has been completed and is now ready to be launched.
In the grassland technology division, the automatic swath placement system for the Novacat V mower and the innovative Liquido F silage additive tank have attracted a great deal of attention. And there are two new additions to the loader wagon range: The Profi 5000 with a smooth-running loading rotor, and the Boss 5000 featuring a tine conveyor loading system.
Pöttinger manufactures at five locations. Two manufacturing plants are located in Austria (Grieskirchen and St. Georgen bei Grieskirchen), one is in Germany (Bernburg), one is in Czechia (Vodňany), and one is in Italy (San Vito al Tagliamento).
Gregor Dietachmayr, Speaker of the Executive Board, is optimistic for the future : “While the markets remain challenging, we did see the first signs of stabilization. However, the situation is bound to change as a result of the drought affecting almost all European countries and the consequent drop in crop yields. Our mission is to continue investing in innovation, digitization and new products and services.”
