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-
