Level of orders

The value of the KION Group’s order intake in the first quarter of 2025 came to €2,706.2 million, an improvement of 11.0 percent compared with the prior-year period (€2,438.9 million). Despite significant macroeconomic uncertainty in connection with global trade disputes and geopolitical tensions, demand from customers remained robust in the reporting period and grew in both operating segments compared with the first three months of 2024. The increase in new business in the Industrial Trucks & Services segment and consistently strong growth in the service business of the Supply Chain Solutions segment were key drivers of order intake in the reporting period.

The KION Group’s order book stood at €4,429.5 million as at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: €4,635.1 million).
