This week, TKMS leadership has been engaging potential investors at “Meet the Management” events in Frankfurt, London, and New York. During these sessions, the company presented its business development, growth strategy, and market outlook to capital market participants for the first time.
Over recent days, TKMS’s executive team – including CEO Oliver Burkhard, CFO Paul Glaser, and Head of Investor Relations Jacques Esser – has also met with financial institutions, analysts, regulatory experts, and media consultants. Discussions centred on market regulations, investor expectations, and the company’s long-term communication plans with the financial community.
“TKMS is poised to capitalise on a rapidly expanding naval market,” said the company, citing its strengths in conventional submarines, surface vessels, and integrated naval electronics. It also aims to build technological leadership in key areas such as autonomous systems and artificial intelligence.
TKMS’s order backlog reached a record level of approximately €18 billion in May, reflecting strong momentum and growing demand. Just days ago, the company signed one of the largest service contracts in its history with the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw), valued at over €800 million.
“With this spin-off, TKMS will be able to respond more effectively to industry demand and allocate resources more efficiently,” the company noted. If approved, the listing on the Frankfurt stock exchange will provide the agility and independence needed to drive sustained and profitable growth in the maritime defence sector.
