Oberkirch, May 22, 2026 - Shareholders expressed strong approval of the PWO Group’s performance in the current challenging market environment. All agenda items were approved by broad majorities. Approximately 65% of the company’s share capital was represented.

At the 2026 Annual General Meeting, CEO Carlo Lazzarini reported on the PWO Group’s performance and the status of the implementation of strategic priorities. The focus remains on technology and innovation, the international presence and its targeted expansion, as well as the consistent management of profitability and cash flow.
