Sulzer’s order intake amounted to CHF 2.805 billion in the first nine months of 2023, on which the strengthening of the Swiss Franc had a negative impact of CHF 0.2 billion. Hence, in local currencies¹, order intake amounts to above CHF 3.0 billion.

In local currencies¹, the order intake growth represents an increase of 18.0% compared to the same period one year ago. As expected, and against a strong Q3 2022, order intake grew +5.4% year-on-year (July to September). The order backlog in Q3 2023 climbed to CHF 2.2 billion. 

All three divisions contributed double-digit growth to Sulzer’s order intake in 2023. Year-on-year and in local currencies¹, order intake increased in the first nine months of 2023 by 19.2% in our Services division, 18.0% in Chemtech and 16.9% in Flow Equipment.  

Sulzer also grew in all regions in the first nine months of 2023 in local currencies¹, with order intake up by 23.3% in the Asia Pacific region, 23.1% in the Americas and 9.4% in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
