Sebastian Growe's questions to HNSDF leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Asked about the Q1 Sensors margin impact from the logistics center, the effect of the new growth ambition on capacity planning, and the ability of the supply chain to handle the expected ramp-up.
Answer
The logistics center ramp-up caused a temporary EUR 10-12 million EBITDA impact in Q1 due to a production shutdown. Current investments secure capacity until 2027/28, with an 'Operations 2.0' plan underway for beyond that. The company believes its supply chain is manageable due to a high degree of in-house value creation (60%), making it less dependent on external suppliers than some peers.
