What Pyramid AG does

Pyramid AG is a publicly listed German holding company (formerly mic AG, ticker M3B0, ISIN DE000A41YDL0) headquartered in Munich that develops and manufactures IT hardware and digital automation solutions through three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Pyramid Computer GmbH (digital kiosk and self-service terminal technology for retail and food service), faytech AG (B2B touchscreen products for POS and point-of-service applications), and RNT Rausch GmbH (high-performance servers, storage appliances, mobile data centers, and AI servers marketed under the AKHET brand). The group's product portfolio centers on the Polytouch family of self-order and self-checkout kiosks (including Polytouch Swift 24, Polytouch Flex, and Polytouch Passport 27), faytech touchscreen hardware, and AKHET/RNT IT infrastructure, with products designed in Germany and manufactured across Germany, China, Korea, Japan, India, and the USA. The group claims more than 2 million units delivered over its history and a monthly production capacity exceeding 10,000 units.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise sales targeting large retailers, financial institutions, and industrial customers via multi-year framework contracts; named references include Edeka Jensen, DM Drogeriemarkt, Migros, DHL, BMW, and a Bundesdruckerei subsidiary. Its GTM emphasizes Made-in-Germany quality, reliability in supply-constrained periods, and universal hardware that supports software platforms of all kinds (e.g., Eyefactive kiosk software). Under CEO Andreas Empl and CFO Christian Damjakob, both appointed in 2024, Pyramid has executed a Buy & Build strategy, notably acquiring RNT Rausch in April 2025 and divesting faytech's Asian subsidiaries via MBO in December 2025 to refocus on Europe and international key accounts. FY2025 provisional revenue is EUR 74.5M against EUR 68.3M in FY2024, with consolidated EBITDA of EUR 2.2M, and Q1 2026 set a record order intake of EUR 26.9M (over 70% YoY growth). The company is listed on the Frankfurt Basic Board and Munich m:access, and completed a 4:1 share consolidation in December 2025 followed by a EUR 5.54M rights-issue capital increase in April 2026.
