Rohde & Schwarz closes challenging fiscal year successfully

– the world's first 360° walk-through security scanner – is currently being tested at Frankfurt Airport.

Rohde & Schwarz also achieved successes in the air traffic control (ATC) sector. Together with DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, the German air navigation service provider, the group completed a nationwide radio modernization program with around 4000 ATC radios at over 100 radio sites. With its tried-and-tested turnkey solution, Rohde & Schwarz ensures safe and efficient airspace operations.

Investments in own vertical integration and key technologies

Supply chains that were strained due to the pandemic stabilized somewhat in the reporting period. In the past few years, the group's high degree of vertical integration once again proved its worth. The Rohde & Schwarz production plants ensure flexibility, dependability and reliable supply capability. The group reaffirmed its vertical integration strategy in the 2022/2023 fiscal year. In February, a groundbreaking ceremony took place at the Memmingen site for a state-of-the-art technology and production center with 18,000 square meters of floor space.

For 90 years, Rohde & Schwarz has lived a tradition of innovation. Research, development and production take place primarily in Germany. The group is stepping up investment in the development and utilization of new technologies involving frequencies above 100 GHz, 6G, AI and microelectronics. This ensures that Rohde & Schwarz remains relevant for its customers in a highly dynamic competitive environment and can expand its leading position.

The group is currently participating in a microelectronics and communications technologies project funded by the European Commission (IPCEI ME/CT). Rohde & Schwarz is thereby helping to ensure Germany and Europe's ability to shape key technologies.

Resource conservation and systematic use of renewable energy sources

As a privately owned company, Rohde & Schwarz is deeply committed to taking into account social and environmental effects in its economic activities. Sustainable business activities have always been at the heart of its corporate strategy and will remain so in the future.

Rohde & Schwarz aims to achieve the 1.5 °C climate protection target at selected group locations by 2030 without buying any offset certificates. To enable the energy transition, it is implementing sustainable product design and resource-conserving energy supply concepts. The group is actively saving energy and carbon emissions by using photovoltaic systems on its own buildings, heat pumps to heat and cool buildings and green electrical power.

In 2023, the Bavarian state government awarded Rohde & Schwarz the Gold Certificate of the Bavarian Environmental and Climate Pact for its longstanding commitment to environmental and climate protection.
