Strategy 2030: What’s ahead?
As GF enters the final year of its 2025 strategy cycle, it has already embarked on implementing components of its Strategy 2030. GF is actively reshaping itself to become the global leader in Flow Solutions for Industry, Infrastructure and Buildings. As part of its strategic transformation, GF is divesting its GF Machining Solutions division and is evaluating strategic options for its GF Casting Solutions division.
With its divisions, GF Piping Systems and GF Building Flow Solutions, GF is well positioned to capture growth and seize the opportunities offered by its new strategic focus on providing innovative and sustainable Flow Solutions for the industrial, infrastructure and building sectors. GF will accelerate growth by capitalizing on attractive long-term global megatrends and take an active part in the consolidation of the industry. At the same time, the company remains committed to an ambitious ESG (environmental, social and governance) agenda to continuously build its sustainability and innovation leadership.
Embarking on the journey to become the global leader in Flow Solutions
GF’s ambition is built on four strategic thrusts:
- Maximize the core business with superior solutions, end-to-end services and execution excellence
- Grow with new opportunities in high-potential regions, segments and applications
- Lead with innovative solutions unlocking above average growth in core and in new business opportunities
- Foster a “One GF” performance culture by promoting a growth mindset and entrepreneurial teamwork building on streamlined structures
Upon completion of its transformation, GF expects an average organic growth range of 4-6% per year over the new 2026-2030 strategy period, with an EBIT margin gradually increasing to the 13-15% range, an EBITDA margin between 16-18%, a free cash flow/ EBITDA conversion above 50% and a ROIC between 21-26%.
The complete Strategy 2030 is set to be released in the second half of 2025.
