Dormakaba has initiated several strategic financial and operational developments. The company announced an investment of over two million euros to modernize and expand its production site in Bühl, Germany. This expansion, supported by an extended lease until 2035, aims to increase production capacity by approximately 25 percent to meet rising demand for sensor gates at German airports.

Concurrently, Dormakaba Holding AG announced plans to simplify its ownership structure by proposing to acquire the Mankel family’s 47.5 percent stake in its operating business for CHF 2.13 billion. Following this transaction, the family is expected to hold roughly 52 percent of the group’s shares. 

To unlock capital for strategic investments, the company also entered a sale-and-leaseback agreement for its global headquarters in Rümlang, Switzerland, selling the site to Schroders ImmoPLUS for over CHF 80 million with an initial 12-year lease term. For the 2025/26 fiscal year, the company reported a net profit of CHF 185.2 million and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.1 percent.
