The Vajda-Papír group closed a successful first half of 2025 as well: net sales revenue increased by 11.8% and pre-tax profit by 17% compared to the same period of the previous year. The consolidated sales revenue of 38 billion forints achieved in the first six months of the year, after 34 billion forints a year earlier, and the EBITDA of 4.1 billion forints, which was close to the half-year figure of last year, are due to the company’s efficiency-enhancing measures and its stable market presence. Consolidated pre-tax profit increased from HUF 3.2 billion in the first half of 2024 to HUF 3.7 billion.

Attila Vajda, Managing Director of Vajda-Papír Kft., said,

“Vajda-Papír’s stable, long-term competitive business model has enabled it to grow stronger and further increase its profitability despite the challenges of the international economic environment. Integrated operations and sustainable investments provide us with a strategic advantage for the future.”

Export performance

In the first half of 2025, the Hungarian company of the Vajda-Papír group sold 27,519 tons of finished goods, 16% more than a year earlier. While the domestic consumer market stagnated, export sales volume increased by 34% and public sales by 13%. The average gross price of products sold did not decrease, while a general 4% price drop was experienced in the domestic market, which also supports the stability of the price position of the products – emphasized the company manager.

Technological developments and efficiency improvements

The company has recently made significant investments at its Dunaföldvár site: automated processing machines with industrial robots were put into operation, which increase production efficiency and reduce logistics costs. In addition, the successful installation and start-up of the second base paper production line enabled the group to ensure its entire base paper needs in-house, thus further reducing external market exposure. Attila Vajda highlighted that after the commissioning of the new processing machine, contract manufacturing is present at a more moderate rate, which also points towards cost reduction, achieving higher results.
