“The family personifies stability and long-term thinking”

Klaus Endress, who shaped Endress+Hauser for decades as CEO and president of the Supervisory Board, is retiring. From now on, Steven Endress and Sandra Genge will represent the shareholding family on the Supervisory Board. In an interview the trio discusses stable values, corporate responsibility and celebrating Christmas together.

Female engineers in focus

At Endress+Hauser, the world of female engineers reveals remarkable achievements – and portrays inspiring stories about dedication, skill and creativity. Six women explain how their jobs set an example for diversity and equal opportunity in technical professions.

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.

Success in the third generation

Endress+Hauser looks back on seven eventful decades
It was an unlikely pair that came together in 1953 to create a company: on one side, the Swiss engineer Georg H Endress, just 29, and on the other, the German Ludwig Hauser, 58, head of a cooperative bank. But the two complemented each other perfectly. The vision and drive of one was as important for success as the prudence and experience of the other.

Putting experience into practice

Through thick and thin

“The family has to play an active role”

A generational change lies ahead for the Endress family. How does this growing circle of shareholders plan to shape the company in future? And how can the younger generation grow into its responsibilities? Sandra Genge, the latest addition to the Supervisory Board, and CEO Matthias Altendorf discuss the issue.

Collaboration transcending borders

Solar power, thermal heat

Endress+Hauser Canada involved employees in the planning of its new Customer Experience Center in Burlington, Ontario. The result is a wealth of good ideas for one of the greenest buildings in the country, which generates more renewable energy than it consumes – and more than compensates for the small indulgence of a traditional barbecue.
