6/12/25, 5:16 PM                   HIMA Group continues growth path, strengthening its position as key solutions provider
        growth was 12 percent in 2024.


        Jörg de la Motte, CEO of HIMA Group, said, “With the acquisition of Sella Controls and Origo Solutions
        in 2023 and 2024, we have brought new expertise into the company and strengthened our market
        position as a key solutions provider. In addition, we have further expanded our operations outside

        Europe to support demanding customer projects locally.”


        In Europe, 24 percent of sales were generated from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, 19 percent from
        other EU countries, 11 percent from the United Kingdom, and 9 percent from Norway. The Asia-Pacific
        region contributed 19 percent to sales, followed by the Middle East and India with 12 percent and the

        Americas with 6 percent.


        Dr. Michael Löbig, CFO of HIMA Group, said, “The encouraging sales performance is a clear signal of
        the viability of our business model. We expect further sales growth in the current year, although the
        market environment remains challenging, particularly in Germany.”


        Railway sector witnessed strong growth


        In 2024, HIMA recorded substantial growth, particularly in the railway sector, with one of the reasons

        being new customer projects supported by Sella Controls. The railway industry now accounts for 17
        percent of sales. An expanded product and solution portfolio was presented for the first time at
        InnoTrans 2024. It was very well received by trade visitors, particularly because of its high flexibility, easy
        integration, cost efficiency, and ability to promote the digital transformation of railway transport.



        International expansion continues


        Following the opening of a new subsidiary in Saudi Arabia in 2023, another was established in India in
        November 2024. In addition, new sales offices and service centers were opened in several countries. In
        China, for example, a new service center commenced operations in Zhanjiang to better serve customers
        in the southeastern part of the country. In addition, a subsidiary was opened in Colombia, and a branch

        is planned in Peru. Further expansion in these growth markets is planned to support large and
        demanding customer projects locally. In regions where the HIMA Group does not have a direct
        presence, the partner program has been further expanded.


        “With these investments in high-growth regions, we are further expanding our customer proximity and

        strengthening our international position,” added Jörg de la Motte.


        Investments in digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI)


        The portfolio has been expanded to include new digital solutions such as cockpits for controlling safety
        lifecycle management, SCADA+, and safeHMI. The safeHMI, developed in partnership with DEUTA-
        Werke, replaces classic, hard-wired visualization solutions with secure, flexible control panels. The long-
