Business growth remained strong

In 2025, Insta Group reached another record in terms of net sales, which amounted to €197.8 M. Net sales grew by 12.2% from the previous financial period. This was our 15th consecutive year of growth. The group’s EBIT was €14.6 M (7.4% of net sales), and the net result was €13.0 M (6.6%), with both remaining at a good level. Insta’s financial standing and cash position improved during the financial period, and they are at an excellent level.

The Industry business area continued to experience strong growth, exceeding the targets set for it. As expected, profitability was affected by the investments made toward business development and the reduced level of investments seen in the steel and forestry industry of the North service area. Net sales amounted to EUR 116.3 million, an increase of 14.9% when compared to the previous year. It accounted for approximately 59% of the entire Group’s net sales.

Sales and net sales for the Advance business grew strongly during 2025.
