Aton results 2025: solid growth in a complex economic climate
In a complex international economic landscape, growth is never automatic. It requires deliberate choices: deciding where to invest, how to allocate resources, and which technological trajectories to pursue in the medium and long term.
In 2025, we closed the year with revenues of €26.2 million, up 3% from €25.4 million in 2024. This result reflects the strength of our journey and also benefits from Teksmar joining the group.
Investing today to build tomorrow’s value
At the same time, we recorded EBITDA of €3.3 million, down 11% year on year. This does not signal a slowdown in our development, but the outcome of a deliberate choice: strengthening investment in digital skills and artificial intelligence by bringing new specialists into the organisation to support the next phases of growth.
Looking at the figures as a whole, one direction is clear: we are investing today to build tomorrow’s value.
R&D at the heart of our strategy
That’s why we decided to allocate 7% of revenue—around €1.8 million—to research and development.
At the centre of this investment is our proprietary .one platform, with 40 software engineers working on the technology roadmap. The focus is particularly on the evolution of systems dedicated to sales channels, PIM, traceability, and sell out data intelligence.
In this journey, artificial intelligence is a key accelerator. Our goal is to turn what is often raw and fragmented data into a resource that generates real value for businesses: accessible information, more efficient processes, and faster decisions.
Looking ahead, we are paying close attention to the evolution of agentic AI, which will have a major impact on how organisations manage data, automation, and operational processes.
People, technology and new workspaces
Investing in technology first and foremost means investing in the people who design it.
In 2025, our team grew to over 284 people, with a net increase of 13 new colleagues year on year (+4.8%). Continuing to hire even in a complex economic climate is a meaningful result for us – fully aligned with our mission to create ethical, sustainable profit by placing human capital at the heart of technological innovation.
In parallel, we are continuing the restoration of our historic headquarters, reimagined to enable new ways of working and collaboration between people and intelligent technologies. The spaces are designed to support an increasingly advanced interaction model between human expertise and AI tools, while also enhancing the wellbeing of our atonpeople.
Being recognised as a Great Place to Work reinforces the direction we’re taking.
Aton results 2025: growth aligned with our B Corp model
Our growth sits within a business model that looks beyond financial results. As a B Corp, we work to combine technological development, business growth, and positive impact on the local area.
We believe that, even in the technology sector, Made in Italy can compete with major global players—by focusing on innovation, the quality of skills, and the ability to use new technologies to bring people back to the centre of organisational processes.
Looking to 2026: AI, international markets and new opportunities
For us, 2025 provides a solid foundation on which to build the next cycle of growth.
We look to 2026 with optimism, supported by an expanding international order book, an industrial plan focused on efficiency and sustainability, and a growth strategy that also includes expansion through acquisitions.
We are confident that today’s investments in research, skills and artificial intelligence will be among the main drivers of growth in the years ahead.
Our goal remains to create long-term value, while maintaining a balance between financial resilience, technological innovation, and people development.
