The Displays segment supplies LCD and OLED flat-panel displays, easyTOUCH touch-display modules and customized electronic subassemblies for industrial and automotive customers.

For fiscal year 2025, DATA MODUL AG reported consolidated sales of EUR 212.9 million, a decline of 5.9 percent from the prior year, and consolidated EBIT of negative EUR 4.9 million, developments attributed to a strained macroeconomic environment together with one-off charges linked to USD exchange-rate movements, personnel measures and market-entry costs; order intake for the year rose 4.5 percent to EUR 210.4 million. Guidance issued alongside those results points toward broadly stable sales and a return to a profitable annual result for 2026, subject to a continued but gradually easing economic downturn.

Shareholders of DATA MODUL AG
DATA MODUL AG discloses shareholder information under German securities law (WpHG) voting-rights notification rules applicable to Prime Standard-listed companies. According to a notification dated April 2017, Arrow Central Europe Holding Munich GmbH, an indirect subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange-listed Arrow Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: ARW), held approximately 69.2 percent of the voting rights in DATA MODUL AG, a position built through a public takeover offer completed in 2015. The investor relations disclosure of DATA MODUL AG, current as of this profile, states a free float of 30.8 percent, consistent with that controlling position remaining unchanged; no more recent voting-rights change notification was identified in the sources reviewed for this profile. A separate minority position is disclosed by Scherzer & Co. AG, a Cologne-based investment company, which listed a DATA MODUL AG equity holding among its ten largest portfolio positions as of 31 October 2025; Scherzer & Co. AG does not publish the exact percentage of DATA MODUL AG shares it holds, and its disclosure describes a portfolio investment rather than a controlling interest. Because Arrow Electronics, Inc. is itself a widely held, US-listed public company at the top of the ownership chain, no natural-person ultimate beneficial owner can be identified or calculated from the sources available for this profile.
Data availability
Country availability: Major shareholders only. German disclosure rules require notification only when voting-rights thresholds are crossed, so DATA MODUL AG public disclosures identify its controlling shareholder and free float but not the identity of individual holders within the free float; direct access to Germany’s central Transparenzregister beneficial-ownership data has also been restricted for parties without a demonstrated legitimate interest following the 2022 CJEU Sovim ruling.

Directors and officers of DATA MODUL AG
Per the commercial register of the Amtsgericht München (HRB 85591), the registered Executive Board (Vorstand) of DATA MODUL AG currently comprises one member, Dr. Florian Pesahl, who holds the role of Chief Executive Officer; a predecessor Vorstand member, Peter Hecktor, is recorded as having left the board on 6 June 2014 after leading the company for many years. The register also lists six persons currently holding commercial power of attorney (Prokura) with joint signing authority, including Nina-Susan Kössel, registered in August 2024, together with Markus Eduard Hell and Alexander Trica. Separately, the official website of DATA MODUL AG presents a broader management team alongside the Chief Executive Officer, including Beate Junker (Chief Financial Officer), Markus Hell (Markets), Alexander Trica (Research and Development), Dario Conforti (Sales), Andreas Huber (Products), Michael Scheuenstuhl (Operations), Lisa Molina (Procurement) and Thomas Frisch (Project Management); this website listing does not specify whether each individual holds a statutory Vorstand seat, and this profile therefore distinguishes the single Handelsregister-confirmed Vorstand member from the wider leadership team shown online. The Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat) of DATA MODUL AG is chaired by Richard A. Seidlitz; the corporate governance declaration of the company discloses, under Section 5.4.1 of the German Corporate Governance Code, that two further supervisory board members hold executive leadership roles at Arrow Group companies, including the chief executive of Arrow Central Europe Holding Munich GmbH, the majority shareholder of DATA MODUL AG. Nationality is not officially disclosed for any officer in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Data availability
Country availability: Partial. The Handelsregister publicly confirms the registered Vorstand member and Prokura holders together with their registration dates, but German company registers do not routinely publish officer nationality, occupation or country of residence; the complete named composition of the Supervisory Board beyond its chairman was not independently confirmed from primary-source text during this research pass and should be checked against the most recent Annual General Meeting documents of DATA MODUL AG.
