Back on track for a record after the SAP system change Group turnover exceeds 160 million euros for the first time

The MAHA Group closed the 2025/26 financial year with a turnover of over EUR 160 million. This represents an increase of more than 12 percent on the previous year and marks the highest figure in the company’s history. The manufacturer of vehicle inspection and lifting equipment is thus continuing on the growth trajectory it embarked upon following the pandemic-related slump in the 2021/22 financial year. The transitional year 2024/25, characterised by the company-wide roll-out of SAP, has proved to be a well-planned investment in the engineering firm’s future viability.

Haldenwang, 23rd June 2026. With a total turnover of over 160 million euros, MAHA has successfully concluded the 2025/26 financial year. The foundation company, headquartered in Haldenwang, Bavaria, is thus consolidating its position as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of vehicle testing and lifting technology, whilst remaining stable even in a market environment characterised by economic uncertainty and structural changes.

Turnover reaches a new high
The trend over the past five years shows a clear pattern: Following the pandemic year of 2021/22, the MAHA Group saw a steady increase in its turnover. It was only the SAP implementation in the 2024/25 financial year that led to a temporary decline, as planned. As early as the following year, the company achieved its highest ever turnover, at over 160 million euros. Over a five-year period, this represents growth of around 27 percent.

Planned transition year strengthens future viability
The 2024/25 financial year was marked by one of the largest internal modernisation projects in the company’s history: the group-wide roll-out of SAP. As is customary in the industry for large-scale projects of this magnitude, the transition temporarily led to longer lead times and, consequently, a moderate decline in turnover. However, the figures now available show that the transition has not only restored the MAHA Group’s performance but has also raised it to a new level. Processes have been streamlined, interfaces harmonised and the foundations laid for further scalable growth.

The record is not the goal – it is the foundation
Dr Peter Geigle, Managing Director of the MAHA Group, sees this result as a starting point, not a final destination: “For us, a record year is not a reason to rest on our laurels, but rather a foundation on which to forge ahead with determination. ‘We are consistently investing in four areas: our Haldenwang site, new products, research and development, and the international visibility of our brand.’

In concrete terms, this means: At the company’s Bavarian headquarters, production and logistics are being further modernised in order to handle rising order volumes efficiently. Within the product portfolio, the focus is on solutions for testing semi-autonomous vehicles, the calibration of driver assistance systems and automated test systems. These include, amongst others, MAIA, the MAHA Autonomous Inspection Assistant. These areas are becoming increasingly important as the market undergoes structural changes. The company’s in-house research and development department is being expanded in terms of both staff and technical resources in order to further increase the pace of innovation. At the same time, MAHA is stepping up its investment in its international brand profile in order to further strengthen its position as a premium supplier in the global marketplace.

“We are acting from a position of strength,” said Geigle. “Right now, when many market participants are taking a cautious approach, investment offers the greatest leverage for the coming years.”

Vehicle testing technology – a market undergoing structural change
The global market for vehicle testing and lifting equipment is undergoing a period of rapid change. Increasing road safety requirements, the growing electrification of the vehicle fleet and the modernisation of national testing infrastructure are driving demand for high-precision measurement and testing technology. The recent major contracts alone – including the modernisation of the vehicle testing infrastructure in Northern Ireland – show that public and private clients are increasingly opting for integrated, turnkey solutions. MAHA is benefiting from this development thanks to its position as a technological leader, its global sales and service network, and the close integration of hardware, software and services.
