Giesecke+Devrient boosted its revenue to 3.2 billion euros in 2025, a new high in the company's 174-year history. As of December 31, order books held more than 3.6 billion euros in bookings, the highest ever.
CEO Ralf Wintergerst told Handelsblatt: "We have made really good progress in almost all areas." He linked the success to global instability: "The world is not a safe place – and that's now clear to everyone." Wintergerst calls the core business "Security Tech".
Originally focused on forgery-proof banknotes, the firm expanded into secure smart cards and now digital financial transactions and automated access controls. Customers worldwide are turning to these reliable solutions amid global conflicts.
