The German-based OEM said that the first half of the year was driven by a significant demand recovery in Europe and North America, a strong development of compact equipment, as well as unchanged high cost discipline.

“The first half-year 2026 marked a significant operating improvement for the Wacker Neuson Group. Our revenue growth led to an over-proportionate increase of the profitability. Especially positive was the development of the compact equipment, robust demand in Europe and North America as well as the strong growth of our agricultural business,” said Dr. Karl Tragl, Chairman of the Executive Board of the Wacker Neuson Group.

“As the order momentum weakened and the geopolitical uncertainties remain, we are cautiously optimistic for the coming months after a strong first half-year. Against this backdrop we confirm our guidance for the fiscal year 2026 raised on July 17.”

Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) saw an increase in revenue in the first half-year 2026 of 17.7% to €983.1 million (US$1.13 billion) compared to the first half of 2025.

The region of Americas also recorded a significant upturn. The revenue increased by 16% to €252.7 million (US$291.4 million) with demand in the US and Canada especially robust.

The region Asia-Pacific recorded a revenue decrease of 5.5% to €20.7 million (US$23.9 million).
