Hoyer VMS posts records after merger

A post-merger motor group is already reporting record numbers globally. Hoyer VMS says demand across industrial motors, automation, and marine services pushed 2025 revenue to DKK 867 million, with expected group revenue of DKK 1.5 billion in 2026.


Hoyer VMS Group has reported record revenue and operating profit for 2025, giving the newly combined Danish business an early boost as it integrates electric motor supply, automation, and marine service operations under one structure.

The company said revenue reached DKK 867 million in 2025, up from DKK 733 million a year earlier, while EBITDA rose to DKK 118 million. The result follows the merger of Hoyer and VMS Group, which was designed to create a broader power and motion business spanning industrial and maritime markets, from OEM motor supply through to service, repair, retrofit, and optimisation.

Demand in electric motors, automation solutions for industry and marine applications, and shipboard service work has been the main driver. That mix matters because it reduces reliance on a single cycle. Industrial customers continue to buy motors and controls, while shipowners are increasingly looking for lifecycle partners that can keep assets running, improve efficiency, and reduce downtime across fleets operating in tighter regulatory and commercial conditions.

Chief executive Henrik Sørensen said the result reflected the company’s ability to deliver tailored solutions and to draw on specialist know-how in motors, automation, and marine service. That position has become more valuable after the merger, which extends the group’s reach into Africa and the Americas through VMS Group’s existing footprint while also opening more aftermarket opportunity in Asia, where Hoyer already had a strong position.

The commercial pitch is straightforward. Customers are being offered one supplier across a wider share of the lifecycle, covering new equipment, service, repair, and optimisation. In practical terms, that can reduce vendor handovers, shorten response times, and tie electrical and mechanical support together more closely, particularly in shipping where failures rarely arrive in neat categories.

Hoyer VMS now says it has a business with expected 2026 revenue of around DKK 1.5 billion and around 700 employees worldwide. With Brazil and Asia identified as growth markets, the next test will be whether a larger installed base translates into repeat aftermarket work at the scale the merger was built to capture.
