Joining forces

Broader portfolio, broader expertise

The two companies’ process technology product portfolios complement and augment each other. SICK’s process analyzers and gas flowmeters are used primarily in waste incineration plants, power, steel and cement plants, in the oil & gas industry, in chemical and petrochemical plants, and in maritime operations, including applications such as measuring the flow of natural gas and hydrogen or measuring emissions from flue gas scrubbing.

The partnership’s aim is to provide customers in the process industry with even better support to improve efficiency and sustainability. They will benefit from a broader range of solutions and a faster pace of innovation. The two companies have already cooperated on an order, project and customer basis. In the future, the global Endress+Hauser sales network will enable the partnership to handle additional customers, reach more industries and develop new areas of application. To drive innovation and leverage synergies, the joint venture for production and development will be closely interlinked with Endress+Hauser’s competence centers.

Partners with much in common

As family-owned businesses, SICK and Endress+Hauser share a similar set of values, a people-focused corporate culture and a long-term strategic stance. Both companies see business opportunities in the process industry’s transition to sustainability. Together, they aim to support their customers in key areas such as energy and resource efficiency and help them decarbonize their production processes in the long term.

Both sides are currently working at high priority to prepare for a seamless transition of business. Until the deal is closed, SICK and Endress+Hauser will continue to support their process automation customers independently. SICK’s strong core business of factory and logistics automation will be unaffected by the merger with Endress+Hauser and will benefit from a stronger focus.
