Villeroy & Boch maintains strong growth

The group’s consolidated revenue rose by 33.2% in the first quarter of 2025, with significant sales growth in the EMEA region. Operating EBIT reached €24.1 million, up 4.3%.

The Villeroy & Boch Group is successfully continuing the strategic realignment that began with the integration of Ideal Standard. The group closed the first quarter of 2025 with 33.2% revenue growth to €369.1 million and an operating EBIT of €24.1 million, up 4.3% compared to the same quarter in 2023.

The Bathroom & Wellness division made a major contribution, generating €295.5 million in revenue (+44.8%) and an EBIT of €20 million (+14.9%). The strongest growth was recorded in the group’s two strategic divisions: fittings (+€44.8 million) and ceramic sanitaryware (+€30.8 million). From a geographical standpoint, the most significant growth was in Europe and the Middle East.

The Dining & Lifestyle division remained stable compared to 2023, with revenue of €72.9 million.

“The business performance in the first quarter of 2025 confirms that the new Villeroy & Boch Group is very well positioned, We have a broader international footprint and are therefore less dependent on the economic development of individual markets. This makes our business model more resilient and robust," said Management Board Chair Gabi Schupp.

In the first quarter of 2025, the German group invested €6.5 million in modernising production sites in Germany, Egypt, Bulgaria and Thailand.

Order intake during the first quarter was also very positive, driven in particular by new products launched by both divisions and presented at the trade fairs ISH and Ambiente.

One of the group’s most recent initiatives was the opening of a new showroom dedicated to the Bathroom & Wellness collections at its historic headquarters in Mettlach. The new showroom displays Villeroy & Boch and Ideal Standard products in a striking and immersive setting, enhanced by advanced digital tools that help make bathroom design more tangible and customisable.
