This marks the conclusion of a decade of exemplary leadership and significant contributions to the Belimo Group.

Belimo, a global leader in building automation devices that improves energy efficiency, is proud to announce its commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This commitment is part of Belimo's climate strategy, which includes providing innovative devices that reduce customers’ greenhouse gas emissions, actively reducing the company’s greenhouse gas emissions, and voluntar-ily funding climate action initiatives through the Belimo Climate Foundation.

The Board of Directors of the BELIMO Holding AG has appointed Sandra Pitt (53) as a member of the Ex-ecutive Committee with effect from January 1, 2025. Sandra Pitt assumed her position as Head of Global Human Resources (HR) and a member of the extended Executive Committee in January 2022. Over the last two and a half years, she has made a significant contri-bution to Belimo's success and further expanded her impressive track record in HR leadership positions. This organizational change will enable an even more active shaping of the Belimo culture that aligns with the company's growth strategy.

In the first half of 2024, Belimo achieved net sales growth of 9.7% in local currencies versus the first half of 2023, supported by positive trends such as energy efficiency measures in existing buildings and the growth of data centers. In Swiss francs, net sales increased by 5.6% to CHF 473.5 million, supported by the return of volume growth, as well as further positive contributions from product mix and pricing. With that, the Company’s solid organic growth trajectory continues in 2024 despite ongoing economic challeng-es in several major countries and vertical markets.

The 49th Annual General Meeting of BELIMO Holding AG was held on March 25, 2024. 488 share-holders accepted the invitation from Belimo Group and gathered at the ENTRA event location in Rapperswil (Switzerland). Together with the Independent Voting Rights Representative, they repre-sented the votes of 8,476,230 or 68.9% of the Company’s shares.

Belimo achieved strong results and continued to deliver on its growth strategy despite complex economic conditions. Belimo pursued its long-term growth and investment strategy unwaveringly and successfully throughout 2023. Thanks to highly engaged employees and a strong network of suppliers, Belimo was able to master the year’s challenges exceptionally well.

Belimo demonstrated substantial sales growth in a year characterized by inflation pressures, rising interest rates, and slowing business momentum in the construction industry. In 2023, net sales grew 7.2% in local currencies and 1.4% in Swiss francs to CHF 858.8 million.

In the first half of 2023, Belimo posted continued net sales growth of 12.4% in local currencies versus the first half of 2022. In Swiss francs, net sales increased by 7.7% to CHF 448.4 million.

With double digit organic sales growth and stable operational results, 2022 was very successful for Belimo. Supply chain excellence was the most critical factor in mastering the year.

In a demanding market environment, the Group posted net sales of CHF 846.9 million, 11.9% ahead of last year in local currencies and 10.7% in Swiss Francs. Robust supply chain performance was a key success factor for this strong result. The Group was able to exceed its five-year sales revenue growth average (compound annual growth rate 2016-2021) of 8.8% in local currencies.

Belimo formally joined Eurovent - Europe's industry association for Indoor Climate (HVAC), Process Cooling, and Food Cold Chain Technology - as a corresponding member in November 2022.

Belimo has achieved double-digit top-line growth and expanded margins in a recovering market, despite a challenging supply chain situation.

The year 2021 was excellent for Belimo, and double-digit top-line growth was achieved across all regions. The two long-term growth drivers – improved energy efficiency of the global building stock and enhanced indoor air quality requirements – were fuelled by pent-up demand. The resulting strong demand could be fulfilled thanks to the Group's excellent supply chain management.

With a faster-than-expected rebound in construction activity, Belimo has seen a rapid return to above-average sales growth in the first half of 2021. Belimo successfully maintained supplier and warehouse management, resulting in high product availability.

The Board of Directors of BELIMO Holding AG has appointed Dr. Adrian Staufer as the new Head of Group Division Europe and Member of the Executive Committee. On January 1, 2022, Adrian Staufer takes over from Lukas Eigenmann, who, as communicated in February 2021, has decided to step down from his current position by the end of 2021 after more than 36 years with Belimo. Lukas Eigenmann will continue to support the Group as a Senior Advisor.

Due to continuous high customer demand, the Belimo Group expects a substantial increase in sales and profitability for the first half-year of 2021 compared to the previous year period. However, the outlook for the full financial year 2021 remains uncertain.

The 46th Annual General Meeting of March 29, 2021 was again held without the participation of shareholders. In accordance with Ordinance 3 on measures to prevent the coronavirus (COVID-19) as of June 19, 2020, the Board of Directors had instructed that shareholders can exclusively issue power of attorney and voting instructions to the Independent Proxy.

Belimo performed well in a highly uncertain environment and a contracting HVAC market. The Group managed to maintain sales in local currencies and expand market shares across regions.

Lukas Eigenmann, Head of the Group Division Europe and Member of the Executive Committee, has decided to step down from his current position by the end of 2021. He can look back at 12 successful years in his current role and at more than 36 committed years at Belimo in total. Lukas Eigenmann stays with the Company until the end of 2022 to ensure a successful transition to his successor. After that, he will remain available as an advisory for the Group.

The Belimo Group defied the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and maintained steady net sales in local cur-rencies (+/- 0.0 percent). In Swiss francs, net sales declined by -4.5 percent, to CHF 661.2 million.

Controlling and monitoring indoor levels of carbon dioxide is essential for everyone’s health, safety, and the energy efficiency of buildings. Similar to how we need to breathe fresh air, so do buildings. Ventilation in a building is the essential process of replacing stale air with fresh air. Without engineered ventilation, buildings become susceptible to stagnant air, mold, bacteria, and potentially harmful gasses like radon, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), and carbon dioxide. Prolonged exposure to these elements can lead to “sick building syndrome” where occupants experience acute health and comfort effects.
