Acuvi Ups Financial Targets Amid Strong Global Demand

Acuvi, a technology firm, is experiencing a period of rapid global expansion, driven by record orders and rising profit margins. CEO Olof Stranding highlighted "stronger demand than ever" for the company's piezoelectric technology, which is essential for microscopic motors utilized in high-precision applications such as surgical robots and semiconductor chip production. For the second quarter of 2025, Acuvi reported sales of SEK 47 million, an increase from SEK 43 million in the prior year. Gross margins rose to 65 percent, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew to SEK 12 million from SEK 8 million, resulting in a 25 percent EBITDA margin. This strong performance, coupled with a substantial automation order expected to generate SEK 100–150 million in future revenue, has prompted Acuvi to increase its full-year EBITDA projection to SEK 52–55 million, representing an approximate 70 percent increase. Furthermore, the company's board has revised its long-term objectives, now aiming for an EBITDA margin of 25–30 percent and a profit exceeding SEK 85 million by 2027. In separate news, veteran CEO Peter Nilsson is set to celebrate his 20th anniversary leading Trelleborg in October 2025, a significant tenure for the head of a publicly traded company. During his leadership, the rubber conglomerate has undergone considerable transformations, and Nilsson has maintained strong connections within the evolving business community of Skåne.
