LISI Group has achieved sales of €486.7 million for the first quarter of 2025, up 8.3% compared to the same period in 2024, driven by strong demand from the entire aerospace sector, in a context of increased production rates.
Sales for the LISI AEROSPACE division stood at €294.4 million at the end of March 2025, up 16.6% on the already high base of the first quarter of 2024 (+26.4%). First quarter 2025 sales in the US Fasteners business showed the strongest increase, up 30.8%. The “Fasteners” segment in Europe and the “Structural Components” also reported strong growth, up 14% and 11.3% respectively, compared with the first quarter of 2024.
Organic growth for the LISI AEROSPACE division grew 14.4% for the first three months of the year. The long-term outlook for the global commercial aeronautics market remains positive, and this is still reflected in high-levels of orders from manufacturers, notably Airbus. Despite major uncertainties concerning the evolution of customs duties between the United States and Europe, and ambitious production ramp-up targets, order book visibility remains very solid for 2025.
Sales for the LISI AUTOMOTIVE division stood at €148.3 million at the end of March 2025, down 5.7% on the same period last year. This reflects the contraction in global production by its main customers (-7.3% compared with 2024). However, the division is maintaining a very good momentum in new product order intake.
These orders are particularly well oriented towards “Clipped Solutions” in Europe and the US, as well as “Safety Mechanical Components” in the braking sector. Sales for the LISI MEDICAL division came to €44.7 million in the first three months of 2025, up 12.6% on the same period of fiscal year 2024, which saw a 6.9% decline.
