Modiform takes measures because of loss-making year

"The year 2025 has shown two very different sides for Modiform," says interim CEO Tom Heintjes. "On the one hand, we celebrated our 45th anniversary this summer with many colleagues present, introduced new products, and signed numerous contracts for new items that help our customers position their products even better in their markets."

"On the other hand, it became clear early this year that 2025 would once again be a loss-making year, which led to abrupt measures being taken in the summer to break the downward spiral. These measures came as a complete surprise to many customers, and I am fully aware that they have impacted their operations. The flexibility that customers previously experienced from Modiform has been restricted in some key areas. I was able to speak with several customers about these measures, and these candid conversations provided me with valuable insights. The vast majority of customers indicated that they did not like the measures but understood that they were necessary for the company's best interest."

Based on this feedback, the Modiform team is currently working hard on several projects to strengthen and better position the company. The highly differentiated pricing policy will be simplified, different service levels for customers will be introduced in the short term, and decisions will be made about which new products and technologies Modiform will invest in over the coming years. Modiform has a long tradition of innovation, product quality, and customer focus, and our future will continue to build on these themes – but this time with more focus and a stronger financial foundation.

"Of course, this can only be achieved if the company becomes profitable again, and I am pleased to report that the measures taken are having the desired effect. In the coming period, our account managers and product specialists will be happy to discuss with you which aspects of our service offering are most important to you so that we can tailor our services accordingly," Tom concludes.
