Total sales rose significantly again last year, reaching the EUR 3 billion mark for the first time. Order intake also grew strongly by nearly 20 percent, which will translate into continued success going forward. In addition, G+D tightened its positioning as a SecurityTech company and is embarking on a new phase of development and transformation, which is aimed at helping to ensure the digitalization of our society happens in a secure manner.
To do this, G+D generates solutions in three segments – Digital Security, Financial Platforms, and Currency Technology. It makes the lives of billions of people more secure in these areas thanks to integrated digital and physical solutions. Innovation and investment go hand in hand at G+D. This is demonstrated, among other things, by recent successful acquisitions, such as that of Swiss software company Netcetera. Investment in our core business and in R&D that leads to healthy organic growth rounds out G+D’s strategy. Never in the history of G+D has more investment been made in innovation and the customer proposition than in 2023.
In his annual interview, Ralf Wintergerst, CEO of G+D, talks about the financial figures, his forward-looking strategy against a challenging global backdrop, and the company’s transformation. G+D has evolved into a comprehensive connectivity provider for the IoT, a full-service provider in the payment ecosystem, and a reliable innovator in the field of digital security technology for a wide range of industries. The company also provides answers to the major technology issues of our time, with development priorities including disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence, and sustainable solutions, e.g. in the SIM technology field, payment cards, and the cash cycle.
Comprehensive insights into current technology trends and innovation at G+D can be found in this year’s lead article in the annual report; a further article explains why ESG is a core element of the company’s strategy. The Group management report and consolidated financial statements provide detailed information on the company’s business performance.
The fields of Digital Security, Financial Platforms, and Currency Technology cover fundamental aspects of life for companies, citizens, and consumers that need to function smoothly and efficiently, especially in turbulent times. With its modern security technology, G+D makes a crucial contribution here, enabling people to go about their daily lives with confidence.
