Endress+Hauser is a global leader in measurement instrumentation, services and solutions for industrial process engineering. We provide process solutions for flow, level, pressure, analytics, temperature, recording and digital communications, optimizing processes in terms of economic efficiency, safety & environmental impact. Our customers come from various industries, including chemical, food & beverage, life sciences, power & energy, mining, minerals & metals, oil & gas and water & wastewater.
Our five product centers with headquarters in Germany and Switzerland focus on know-how in research and development, marketing, logistics, technical engineering and production. At these sites we also manufacture core components for our worldwide production. Plants in Brazil, China, France, India, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US assemble, test and calibrate instruments mainly for regional markets. This helps us to serve our customers quickly, flexibly and individually anywhere in the world.
Quality and continuous improvement is a priority at Endress+Hauser. We strive for exemplary quality in our products and services – regardless of which Endress+Hauser facility they come from. In the procurement of goods and services, we look for partnerships with suppliers that apply the same principles of quality assurance. Our management system is based on ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001. In addition, some locations are certified based on ISO 14001 and ISO 50001.
We provide customers with hundreds of thousands of measuring points every year: virtually every device is unique, selected from a catalog with 2,000 different products and one billion available design variants. To handle this wealth of variation we use modern, highly automated production plants, which are constantly updated to meet the latest state-of-the-art standard. We rely on a qualified and highly motivated staff, offering them a broad range of training and further education opportunities.
Founded in 1953 Endress+Hauser was a true pioneer in electronic measuring technology. Since then we have continued to convince our customers with trailblazing products and solutions. Our industrial expertise and detailed application knowhow leads time and again to pioneering developments and supports our customers in the transformation into the digital future.
To ensure that our instruments can be integrated into control and asset management systems with minimum effort, we test them in a multi-vendor environment and ensure they have the appropriate certification before putting them on the market. We also develop fully instrumented solutions for particular applications, e.g. density profiling, dosing and filling, custody transfer, leakage detection, tank management etc. as well as software solutions for device and calibration management.
Endress+Hauser instruments reliably gather all of the information from the industrial process engineering processes that enable the customers to operate their plants economically and safely, to obtain optimum product quality and to protect human beings as well as the environment. But our competences go beyond the pure field instrumentation.
Today’s thriving biopharmaceutical industry demands high productivity and efficiency balanced with meticulous alignment to GMP standards. From our innovatory ASME-BPE compliant product portfolio enabling standardized production automation, reliable monitoring and predictive maintenance, to our expert consulting in process scale-up and operations optimization, Endress+Hauser offers the full solution. We speed time to market, sustain operational excellence, enhance productivity, and reduce risk.
