“The Komax Group is in the midst of a transformation process, and implemented a comprehensive package of cost reduction measures in 2025. At the same time, it has invested in Asia in order to secure a strong long-term position in this growth market.”

Andreas Häberli, Chairman of the Board of Directors

In addition to civil aircraft for passenger and freight transport, the Aerospace area includes helicopters, Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), defense, and even rockets and satellites for space travel. Rail vehicles offer an additional area of application for the Komax Group’s automation solutions. The amount of electrical equipment required is continuously increasing, especially in wagon construction.

The Next2OEM project is developing a digitalized and automated value chain from wire harness development to wire harness production and assembly into the vehicle bodywork. Part of this initiative is to encourage “nearshoring,” i.e. the repatriation of wire harness production back to Germany. However, the high wage costs associated with nearshoring can only be reduced to an economically feasible level if the degree of automation is significantly increased.

The Komax Group is constantly driving forward the implementation of its ESG strategy and is focusing on where it can make the biggest difference. In 2025, it has developed a detailed climate transition plan for 2025 through 2050 significantly increased the share of renewable energies compared to the base year of 2023 – from 23% to 58%.
