What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
We serve a total of 8 key industries, which enables us to offset any individual industries that are struggling.
Products used in the automotive industry are currently experiencing a slight downward trend. However, other sectors are quite stable and showing an upward trend.
What can you tell us about market trends?
There is currently a great deal of momentum in the field of data centre cooling. This is being strongly driven by advancing digitalization and the expansion of AI infrastructure.
Battery cooling is also a market of the future.
In addition to these new trends, however, there is now a strong focus on securing supply chains, price stability, and delivery reliability. And since our entire production is based in Germany, we can always guarantee this.
What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
Our patented TempSecure by LÜDECKEâ quick connect couplings for the plastics industry, our multi-coupling system and upcoming new patent, our dripless quick connect couplings series ESCB and our UQD/UQDB-standard quick connect couplings for data centres.
What estimations do you have for the second half of 2026?
Given the large number of new products, we generally have positive expectations for the second half of the year, as we will be generating new market volume during this period.
If the situation in the Middle East also eases, we anticipate a recovery in the export markets there as well; even price stability for raw materials alone would contribute enormously to an improvement in the overall economic situation. Nevertheless, external factors remain very challenging. We will therefore focus intensively on ourselves, our product development, and the expansion of our partnerships—an approach that has served us very well even during the recent years of crisis.
