Step-by-step progress

Although Endress+Hauser is in great shape, the company must continually change to stay successful. In an interview, Supervisory Board president Matthias Altendorf and CEO Peter Selders discuss the dynamic between continuity and transformation.

Green Transformation

What was once a minor concern is now front and center: doing business sustainably is considered crucial to a viable future on our overburdened planet. What has already changed? Where are the remaining problems? And is sustainability an issue dividing the generations?

Generational change

Changes are taking place at the top of Endress+Hauser at the beginning of 2024. Klaus Endress will relinquish his duties as President of the Supervisory Board. He will be succeeded by CEO Matthias Altendorf. Taking over the reins of the Group will be Peter Selders, currently Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Level+Pressure.

A never-ending story

Endress+Hauser could still be flourishing in a hundred years’ time. And the family could still bear responsibility without involvement in the day-to-day business. Klaus Endress, President of the Supervisory Board, and Matthias Altendorf, CEO of the Group, talk about the past and future of the family-owned company.

Onward

Companies constantly have to adapt to their environment, overcome crises and seize opportunities. These days, many of them fall by the wayside much earlier than a few decades ago. What is it that long-lived and successful businesses do right? Or what do they do differently? Time to consult the survival manual.

The long game

What do the Simpsons, a tiny jellyfish and a view of outer space have in common? They all convey in their own unique way what it means to grow old and yet remain young. What seems an incredibly long time in popular culture is merely the blink of an eye by cosmic standards. Where can longevity be found on Earth and what are its limits? We take a look – a brief one, of course.

The treasure trove

When Endress+Hauser began building a centralized instrument database 20 years ago, the Internet of Things was still a distant vision. Michael Herzog, a founding father of the Common Equipment Record, explains how it came into existence and why the huge volumes of data are a genuine treasure trove today.

Delivering with agility

Endress+Hauser is developing the Netilion IIoT ecosystem in small steps. This approach lets users quickly and easily derive benefits from their data – and ensures that the solution fits their needs perfectly.

The great unknown

It has been said that data can draw inferences between diaper purchases and beer sales. That it can displace oil and identify love. But can it, really? While there is a lot of talk about data – or more accurately, big data – there is a scarcity of knowledge. Before diving into the world of industrial data usage, we’d like to approach the subject from a popular science perspective.

“Standards bring down barriers and costs”

Data helps industry to optimize production – and is essential
for the transition to a sustainable energy supply. But more
standardization is needed, say Frank Stührenberg, CEO of Phoenix
Contact, and Endress+Hauser CEO Matthias Altendorf.
