That outstripped the €580 million in sales that Mercury earned there in 2024.

A strategy document published by the business last year shows it believes it can increase German revenues to €850 million in the long term.
The group’s Irish turnover reached €171 million in 2025, according to an annual review published with its results on Wednesday.
Data centres accounted for €1.7 billion of Mercury’s revenues last year.
Technology businesses are investing increasing amounts in these centres as they gear up to meet the growing demands of artificial intelligence (AI) for processing power.
Life sciences, which embraces pharmaceutical manufacture and related businesses, accounted for €115 million of the Irish group’s 2025 turnover.
Revenues from the semiconductor industry came to €96 million, the review shows.
Mercury chief executive, Eoin Vaughan, said that the group continued to make progress on meeting its long-term goal of consistent earnings.
“This allowed us to achieve strong results in line with our targets,” he added.
Vaughan noted that the results showed the dedication of its staff and the strength of the partnerships the group has built over time.
Chairman Eric Wallace said: “The annual review demonstrates that, even in the face of uncertainty, Mercury has delivered strong revenue and earnings.”
The group recently moved to a new headquarters in Ballycoolin Business Park in Blanchardstown, Dublin.
This brings its design, engineering, specialist services and support teams together in one location.
Last month Mercury opened a new off-site manufacturing plant and engineering facility in Schönebeck, Germany, giving it a base for operations in central Europe.
It also opened new or upgraded regional offices in Frankfurt, Paris and Zurich, a move that cements its presence in key European locations, the group said.
Mercury hopes to boost revenues to €3 billion in 2029, according to its Go Beyond strategy published in 2025.
