Key figures:
- Wielton Group revenue rose 19.4% to 1,180.3 million zlotys, while vehicle sales increased 10% to 8,577 units.
- Net loss narrowed from 107.6 million zlotys to 43.6 million zlotys. EBITDA improved from negative 32.9 million zlotys to positive 17.4 million zlotys.
- Sales in Poland grew 10.4% to 2,398 vehicles, lifting the group’s market share to 14.6%.
- The strongest sales growth came in Spain and the UK. Germany and the Central and Eastern European markets covered by the group’s reporting recorded declines.
Results published on 30 September 2026 show a clear improvement from the first half of 2025. Revenue grew faster than unit sales, and the group significantly reduced its losses. A return to positive EBITDA does not yet mean that the group is profitable, and the recovery remains uneven across markets.
Revenue rises, but net loss remains at 43.6 million zlotys
Between January and June 2026, Wielton Group generated 1,180.3 million zlotys in revenue, compared with 988.6 million zlotys in the first half of 2025. That represents a 19.4% increase. Vehicle sales rose from 7,796 to 8,577 units, an increase of 10%.
EBITDA also returned to positive territory, reaching 17.4 million zlotys, compared with a negative 32.9 million zlotys a year earlier. The EBITDA margin improved from negative 3.3% to 1.5%.
Net loss narrowed by 64 million zlotys, from 107.6 million zlotys to 43.6 million zlotys. The figures indicate stronger operating performance, but the group has not yet returned to a positive net result. Its EBITDA margin also remains modest.
Poland: sales up 10.4%
The Polish trailer market grew by 10.5% in the first half of 2026. Wielton Group sold 2,398 vehicles, or 10.4% more than in the same period a year earlier. Wielton and Langendorf together ranked third in the market, increasing their combined share from 14% in the first half of 2025 to 14.6% in the first half of 2026.
The group therefore grew broadly in line with the overall Polish market while making a modest gain in market share. During the period, Wielton also expanded its product range with a box trailer from the EVO series.
UK sales rise sharply while Germany declines
The group’s international businesses delivered sharply contrasting results. In the UK, Wielton sold 1,805 vehicles, up 73.7% from a year earlier. The British trailer market grew by more than 14% over the same period.
Lawrence David, Wielton and Langendorf together held a 13.3% market share. The group therefore rose from fourth to second place in the UK.
Germany produced a very different outcome. Although the German trailer market grew by 10.5%, Wielton Group sales fell 35.8% to 409 vehicles. Langendorf and Wielton GmbH ranked eighth, with a combined market share of 1.7%.
The contrasting results show that stronger European demand for trailers has not benefited every company in the group equally.
Spain nearly doubles sales while Central and Eastern Europe weakens
In Spain, the group sold 451 vehicles, up by more than 94% from a year earlier. The Spanish trailer market expanded by 17.1%. Guillén, Fruehauf and Wielton together ranked fourth, with a combined share of 6.1%.
Sales also increased in Italy, where the group sold 773 vehicles, up from 720 previously. Viberti, Fruehauf, Wielton and Guillén held a combined market share of 8.5%, securing fourth place. The Italian market grew by 1.6% over the same period.
In France, group company Fruehauf retained its leading position, with a 16.1% market share. The group sold 1,454 vehicles there, 2% more than a year earlier. That growth lagged behind the French market as a whole, which expanded by almost 8%.
Wielton performed less strongly in the Central and Eastern European markets covered by the group’s reporting. Sales fell by more than 9% to 593 vehicles, even as the regional market grew by more than 17%.
Wielton’s share in the region declined from 5.5% to 4.5%. The group remained in fifth place, but its sales fell despite the broader market expansion.
Agricultural trailers: sales rise despite a shrinking market
Agricultural trailers are a separate part of the group’s business. The Polish market for these vehicles contracted by 29.6% in the first half of 2026. Wielton attributed the decline partly to difficult weather conditions and high agricultural input costs.
Despite the market downturn, Wielton Agro sold 517 agricultural trailers, nearly 19% more than in the comparable period a year earlier. The company ranked sixth in Poland, with a 4.5% market share.
Recovery remains uneven across markets
The market breakdown shows that Wielton Group’s improving performance is far from uniform. Sales in the UK and Spain grew much faster than the overall market, while Germany and the Central and Eastern European markets recorded declines despite stronger demand in those markets.
