Chairman of the Executive Board Christian Thönes: “DMG Mori benefits from its consistent realisation of the strategic fit of automation, digitization and sustainability.
"After a strong first quarter 2022, we achieved new record figures for order intake and free cash flow in the first half-year – and this against the background of high volatility and a more difficult market environment. Based on this successful business development, we are raising our forecast for 2022 here."
