• Innovation and technology leadership are the foundation for growth in a challenging geopolitical and economic environment
• Business with products for sustainable energy generation and transmission has grown to more than EUR 230 million
• High R&D ratio of 4.5 percent underscores Miba’s innovative strength
• Traditionally high equity ratio has further increased to 60.9 percent

Laakirchen, April 24, 2026. The revenue of the Upper Austrian technology group Miba grew to a record level of more than EUR 1.2 billion in the past fiscal year 2025/26 (February 1, 2025, to January 31, 2026). The company generated 62 percent of this revenue with its broad product range for the industrial goods market, while 38 percent came from the automotive industry. Overall, Miba’s revenue increased by EUR 15 million, or 1.2 percent, compared to the previous fiscal year—despite a challenging geopolitical and economic environment. Miba CEO F. Peter Mitterbauer gives a clear reason for this: “Miba stands for innovation and technology leadership. We develop and produce unique solutions for our customers’ technological challenges. In line with our corporate mission ‘Technologies for a cleaner planet,’ we do this with a clear focus on growth markets around the sustainable generation, transmission, storage, and use of energy. All of this makes us a particularly valuable partner for our customers. We support them in shaping the energy transition and reducing the CO₂ footprint of their own products with unique Miba innovations.”

Rapidly growing electricity demand from data centers for artificial intelligence creates new growth opportunities

A few examples illustrate the significant growth opportunities this creates for Miba. One of these is products for the sustainable generation and transmission of energy—such as for wind turbines, hydroelectric power plants, photovoltaic systems, and efficient power grids with very low transmission losses. This business segment has grown by 75 percent in the past three years alone and now contributes nearly 20 percent to Miba’s revenue, amounting to more than EUR 230 million.

In addition, the rapidly growing energy demand from data centers for artificial intelligence creates many growth opportunities for Miba. As the supply from public power grids is increasingly reaching its limits, particularly in the U.S., operators of such data centers are beginning to generate electricity directly on-site themselves. Motors and turbines featuring Miba’s bearing technology are used for this purpose. Miba bearings are also found in the emergency power generators of these data centers.

The business with Miba solutions for clean marine engines is also growing steadily. It increased by 10 percent last year alone and has doubled over the past three years. Furthermore, revenue from technologies for the aviation sector rose by 20 percent in the past fiscal year, and by more than 50 percent over the past three years.

EUR 54 million invested in research and development

To further strengthen and expand Miba’s innovative capabilities, the company invested heavily in research and development again in the past fiscal year, spending EUR 54 million. This corresponds to a high R&D ratio of 4.5 percent. Patents were filed for 22 new inventions for the first time. In total, Miba holds 830 patents worldwide as a global innovation partner to its customers. Approximately 300 employees work in research and development.

Financial independence creates flexibility for future investments

In total, Miba invested EUR 120 million in the past fiscal year: in addition to the EUR 54 million in research and development, EUR 63 million were invested in property, plant, and equipment—that is, in buildings and machinery at its company locations—and EUR 2.5 million in the training and continuing education of its employees. “Our strong financial independence creates the necessary flexibility for future investments,” says Miba CEO F. Peter Mitterbauer. “We are therefore proud that our traditionally high equity ratio has grown further, to 60.9 percent.” In the previous fiscal year, it had stood at 58.3 percent.
