Gérald Streit, chairman and CEO of Delfingen Industry, discussed the company's strategy and performance in several interviews during 2024 and 2025. He stated that Delfingen had grown significantly in recent years, nearly tripling revenue over four years, partly by acquiring its main German competitor to become the world leader in its segment. Streit said the company would focus on debt reduction and cash generation through 2026 before resuming external growth, particularly in industrial markets. He also noted that no single client represents more than 8% of revenue, which he described as providing the company with independence. Speaking about the automotive sector, Streit described it as a "structured" industry where not all participants will succeed. He gave the example of Geely's approach to hybrid and electric vehicles as having "a certain vision," contrasting it with other automakers he characterized as appearing "lost." Streit also discussed Delfingen's environmental initiatives, stating that as a company that has been transforming plastic for 70 years it has a responsibility to address plastic pollution. He noted the company had committed to reducing CO₂ emissions under the COP21 framework and said it had begun measuring its emissions and plastic consumption. Streit described a partnership with Plastic Odyssey to develop small-scale recycling micro-factories, calling the effort part of a "beginning of an amazing journey."
