How did Endress+Hauser perform in the past year?

Holding steady

Endress+Hauser increased its sales only marginally in 2024, after three years of double-digit growth. But while the hoped-for economic upturn in the second half of the year failed to materialize, we still managed to hold steady. We were aided in this by our diversified market position with its extensive range of products, solutions and services and its broad mix of regions, industries and customer segments.

Although achieving only muted growth, we were able to keep our profits on par with the high levels achieved in the previous year. At the same time, we invested heavily in growing our global production and sales networks. We are cautiously optimistic for 2025 – in part because of our strategic partnership with the German sensor technology specialist SICK, which we initiated last year. The partnership enables us to offer a broader range of products and services and enhances our expertise in gas analysis and flow measurement technology.
