The Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting approved on 18 April 2025 the 2024 Financial Statements of Esautomotion S.p.a., which closed with a financial year profit of Euro 1,209,893 entirely allocated to the Extraordinary Reserve.

The official Directors’ report highlights how 2024 was characterized by the uncertainty created by the deterioration of the global geopolitical and economic context, to which was added the destocking of customers after the strong increase in purchases recorded in 2023 as a consequence of the shortage of components.

Esautomotion’s direct exports accounted for approximately 49% of its turnover in 2024, to which must be added the share of products sold in Italy and subsequently exported by OEMs. Overall, direct and indirect exports reached approximately 80% of revenues.

“We took advantage of the relative market stagnation to work on our organization and make it more efficient” Franco Fontana, president of Esautomotion, declares “We have invested heavily in the sales network, strengthening the structure both qualitatively and quantitatively. We have also increased investments in R&D with the aim of improving the performance of existing Esautomotion products while eliminating dependence on suppliers of “unique” components, as in the case of CPUs, to always guarantee ourselves an alternative in the event of critical supply issues. At the same time, we have accelerated the development of the new ViS-900 CNC series, which will be AI-based and 100% Industry 5.0 to offer a level of efficiency and customization never seen before.”

“We look to 2025 with well-founded optimism: the improvement recorded by the market in the last quarter of 2024 and the trend in the first months of 2025, in fact, leave us hoping for a year of growth” – Fontana adds –“In commercial terms, we will leverage our key point of strength: high customer loyalty and leadership in specialized macro-niches with high margins, such as sheet metal, marble and wood processing, thanks to the absence of large multinationals. In addition, we will exploit the introduction of Sangalli Servomotori in segments that are completely new to Esautomotion such as automotive, military sector and agricultural machinery”.

Markets emerging from political and economic turbulence.

“After months of rumors bordering on gossip, a clearing up seems to be taking place in the “US tariffs” issue that has dominated the scene in recent months” – Andrea Senzolo, General Manager of Esautomotion,  highlights  – “For sure, the review of the supply pipelines of many American and European companies will accelerate, with a shift from China to safer and more controllable countries, such as India, or as a return to their Western countries. We can already see the positive effects of this trend for Esautomotion North America, which can ensure on-site technical and sales service that will make Chinese CNCs and plants much less attractive in US, certainly burdened by tariffs in the future”.

“Thanks to the renewal of the commercial structure, we will better control and manage the core markets, such as Italy and Western Europe, while we intend to increase penetration in Eastern Europe, which could be affected by the reshoring I mentioned”.
