A pioneer in many fields

Throughout his life, Dr Georg H Endress took the initiative and moved things forward. A hundred years later, the entrepreneur’s legacy is still visible and tangible – in the family-owned business he built up and far beyond.

“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.

What matters now and in the future?

Klaus Endress is handing over his responsibilities as president of the Supervisory Board at the end of 2023. In our interview, he looks back at 45 years with the company – and talks about his career, the role of the family and what he has learned from nature.

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.

“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.

Full speed ahead

Thinking in generations, not quarters. Every day the family company Endress+Hauser works to change something for the better with innovative ideas, dedicated employees and sustainable action.

A clear sense of direction
