TheOechsler Group据报道，2021财年的财务业绩下降了2.4％，理由是COVID-19大流行和原材料价格上涨的重大影响。
Throughout FY 2021, group sales dipped slightly to €369 million from the €378 million the firm generated in FY 2020. However, Oechsler maintained it was “satisfied” with its performance during the period, having observed growth in its Automotive and Innovative Solutions divisions alongside progress in expanding additive manufacturing as a second production technology.
结果，Oechsler计划“大规模”投资扩大其添加剂制造部门，预留了约5500万欧元，以提高其Ansbach-Brodswinden和Taicang地点的生产能力。
“In view of the numerous global crises, we are satisfied with the course of our 2021 financial year,” said Dr Claudius Kozlik, CEO of Oechsler. “Due to our diversified customer portfolio and our broad geographical presence in Europe, Asia, and the North American free trade area USMCA, our sales have remained stable in 2021.
“As early as 2022, we expect an overall increase in group sales and see significant growth opportunities in the medium term – not least due to promising new projects in 3D printing.”
Oechsler的2021财年财务业绩
Oechsler在其三个部门中报告了其财务业绩：汽车，体育用品和创新解决方案。到目前为止，该公司最大的市场Automotive是2021财年的表现最佳，在这一年中，销售额增长了10％至2.57亿欧元。
Oechsler将销售增长的主要原因归因于今年上半年领先的汽车供应商的主要订单，用于通过金属注塑成型（MIM）的系列生产。但是，由于需求减少以及汽车行业面临的半导体和其他原材料的短缺，该部门在2021财年下半年经历了低迷。
The firm’s Innovative Solutions division also experienced growth throughout FY 2021, with sales up 14% to €41 million bolstered largely by increased demand for solar system components. The company’s Sporting Goods division, however, did not fare so well during the period, with sales falling 35% year-on-year to €71 million. According to Oechsler, this decline was, among other things, due to the Covid-19 related lockdown in SouthEast Asia in Q3 2021, which meant the firm had to close its Vietnam plant for two months.
尽管与自行车制造商等与3D印刷相关的产品合作伙伴关系建立了“新成功”专门和领先的户外专家杰克·沃尔夫斯金, Oechsler was unable to recoup the losses caused by the plant closure.
| Group Sales (€) | FY 2020 | FY 2021 | 区别 （％） |
| 汽车 | 234m | 257m | +10 |
| Innovative Solutions | 36m | 41m | +14 |
| 体育用品 | 109m | 71m | -35 |
| 全部的 | 378m | 369m | -2.4 |
Bolstering investment in AM
Oechsler的客户包括领先的工业公司，汽车供应商和体育用品行业的主要参与者，并稳步增加了其对需要较轻组件，灵活设计以及该技术启用的其他复杂功能的项目的3D打印的使用。
因此，近年来，公司内部增材制造业的重要性已提高到新的高度，现在该技术占该集团营业额的10％以上。除了2021财年的财务业绩，Oechsler宣布了计划投资约5500万欧元，以进一步扩大其在2022年的增材生产能力。
该公司已经通过与3D打印机OEM建立合作伙伴关系在2022年第一季度投资了2000万欧元生命值和自动化后处理系统制造商Additive Manufacturing Technologies（AMT）带来基于粉末的3D打印过程成系列生产at its Ansbach-Brodswinden site.
With the rest of the funds, Oechsler will continue to expand the site and its Taicang location in China over the course of 2022 to bolster its 3D printing production capacity.
2022年恢复增长
尽管2021财年的市场状况具有挑战性，但奥斯勒（Oeschler）预计未来会有“重要的增长机会”，并预计集团的销售在2022年再次增长。进一步展望未来，该小组预测，由于最早在2023年，由于这一数字增长率诸如自动驾驶和新项目的收购等市场细分市场的重要性越来越大。
该集团还预计，其对添加剂制造生产能力的投资将促进未来的销售增长，同时还监视医疗保健市场的未来增长机会。
Despite the firm’s positive outlook for 2022, tough market conditions throughout 2021 meant the firm had to “moderately” reduce its global workforce, particularly those in development, sales, and purchasing roles.
“Oechsler is currently facing major challenges in its global markets,” said Michael Meyer, CFO at Oechsler. “Raw material and energy costs have exploded in recent years as part of the Ukraine war and the corona pandemic. At the same time, global automobile production has dropped significantly since 2019 and is undergoing technological change.
“鉴于这些苛刻的框架条件，重要的是要不断优化我们自己的成本基础，同时履行我们的社会和公司责任。”
