Industrie: Triebwerkshersteller MTU sitzt auf vollen Auftragsbüchern
Vielen deutschen Industrieunternehmen geht es seit Jahren nicht gut, doch zwei Branchen sind ausgenommen: Rüstung und Luftfahrt. Der Triebwerksbauer MTU floriert.
Munich-based aircraft engine manufacturer MTU reported robust financial figures once again, despite an uncertain global environment. The company's revenue surged 13% to €7.1 billion in its first quarter, while net profit rose 4% to €751 million. Although civilian aviation faces challenges due to the Iran war and high jet fuel prices, MTU's large order backlog, primarily from Airbus and Boeing, keeps it well-staffed with 14,000 employees.
MTU's order backlog reached nearly €30 billion by the end of September, matching the previous year's level. The company develops engines in collaboration with various partners, including US manufacturer Pratt & Whitney, serving both civilian and military sectors. MTU anticipates double-digit percentage growth in revenue across all sectors this year, with sales expected to reach at least €9.5 billion, slightly below its previous forecast of €9.2-9.7 billion.
