Summary
electrovac AG, a specialist in hermetic glass-to-metal packages for safety- and system-critical electronics, held its first Annual General Meeting as a listed company on October 28, 2026. CEO Dieter Thumfart reported a record year for fiscal 2025/2026 and a strong start to fiscal 2026/2027, with preliminary H1 revenue up 10.4% to EUR 61.5 million and EBIT up 26.1% to EUR 8.2 million, despite EUR 2.3 million in one-off IPO costs.
