For 2018, HOMAG Group AG will make another compensation payment to its shareholders of € 1.01 per share. This compensation payment results from the domination and profit and loss transfer agreement concluded with Dürr, and will continue to replace the previous variable dividend. 

In his speech, CEO Pekka Paasivaara looked back at the HOMAG Group's successful financial year of 2018, where sales and earnings reached all-time highs. He also highlighted the growing importance of solutions in the fields of automation and digitization for efficient and flexible manufacturing. Here, the HOMAG Group can set itself apart from its competitors through offering end-to-end solutions. "We know a lot about digital products, where we are the leading company in our industry, and we are committed to expanding this position further", says Paasivaara.

In this in-house think tank, around 70 employees develop digital solutions for all machines, production concepts and technologies." He presented several digital solutions by the HOMAG Group which customers are already using today.
