Interroll Group

What Interroll Group does

Interroll Group is a Switzerland-headquartered, SIX Swiss Exchange-listed (since 1997) provider of platform-based material handling solutions, founded in 1959 and operating through a global network of 36 companies with approximately 2,400 employees. Its offering is organized into four product pillars — Rollers, Drives (RollerDrive in 24V/48V variants, Drum Motors), Conveyors & Sorters (Modular Conveyor Platform / MCP, MCP PLAY software add-on, MCP CleanLine, High Performance Conveyor Platform / HPP, Light Conveyor Platform / LCP with AMR Top Module, Sortteq MC-S and Vertical Small Wheel Sorter MX-V sorters, Belt Curves), and Pallet Handling (Modular Pallet Platform / MPP, Pallet Flow) — supported by Lifetime Service (15.2% of group sales in 2025, up from 14.4% in 2024) and Interroll Academy training. The underlying technology combines electromechanical components with MultiControl decentralized control and embedded MCP PLAY software that replaces traditional PLC programming with layout-and-flow configuration; independent Fraunhofer IML calculations indicate up to 100% throughput improvement and up to 30% energy reduction versus traditional zero-pressure accumulation (ZPA) solutions, while the Sortteq MC-S sorter delivers up to 8,000 pieces/hour at up to 50% lower energy consumption than competing sorter solutions.

The company serves seven target verticals — Courier, Express & Parcel (CEP); E-Commerce, Retail & Fashion; Airports; Food & Beverage; Manufacturing Logistics; Storage & Distribution; and Tire & Automotive — with named reference customers spanning Amazon, DHL, Walmart, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, Bosch, Siemens, Zalando, Bonduelle, Alloga, and Café Amazon. Revenue is generated predominantly through B2B enterprise hardware sales (conveyor rollers, drum motors, modular platforms, sorters, pallet handling) on a quote-based, project-by-project pricing model, distributed via a hybrid model combining direct sales through 36 operating companies with channel partners (system integrators like Fb Industry Automation GmbH and distributors such as Ultimation Industries). FY2025 group sales of CHF 514.2 million (down 2.5% reported, up 1.4% in local currencies) with CHF 545.3 million in order intake (up 5.0% reported, up 9.2% local currency) and an EBIT margin of 14.0% reflect a stable-to-improving demand backdrop, supplemented by the May 2026 acquisition of Royal Apollo Group (vertical conveying solutions).
