From backroom operation to global player
I
t was an unlikely pair that came together
in 1953 to create a company: 29-yearold
Swiss engineer Georg H Endress and
58-year-old German banker Ludwig Hauser.
Despite their disparate backgrounds, it
turned out they were a perfect match.
Endress's vision and drive and Hauser's prudence
and experience proved to be the cornerstones
of the company's success.
Opening new markets step by step
The young company began its activities
with the sale of innovative electronic level
sensors that filled a market niche. It wasn't
long before Endress began to develop instruments
on his own. In 1955 he registered
his first patent. In 1957 the company began
trading under the name Endress+Hauser
- and experienced strong growth. Georg H
Endress continuously expanded the portfolio
by adding new measurement principles
and pursued business opportunities in
other countries.
Customer intimacy from the very start
The company expanded its offerings
through acquisitions and start-ups.
Measurement value recording, liquid
analysis and flow measurement engineering
were added as new fields of activity
to the mix, followed later by pressure and
temperature measurement technologies.
Endress+Hauser evolved into a
full-range provider for the process
industries.
The Endress family became
the sole shareholder in 1975.
Klaus Endress took over the reins
of the Group from his father in
1995. Over the following years he
expanded the business beyond
process instrumentation and into
services and automation solutions.
He also tackled the challenges of
doing business in a globalized environment.
After establishing sales centers around the
world, production also went global.
Family continues to shape the company
For 19 years Klaus Endress put his personal
stamp not only on the Group, but
also on the corporate culture. Most of all
he valued communication and cooperation.
Trust and loyalty supplement the deeply ingrained
sense of responsibility within the
company. The customers and their needs
remain at the heart of the business, as well
as the guiding principle 'first serve, then
earn.' As Klaus Endress puts it, profit is not
the target, but the result of doing well. The
shareholder family created a family charter
while Dr Georg H Endress was still alive. It

ily company oriented toward sustainable
success. After the death of the company
founder in 2008, this statement became
his corporate legacy. Klaus Endress handed
over leadership of the company to Matthias
Altendorf in 2014. The Group had already
acquired laboratory instrumentation specialist
Analytik Jena and further strengthened
the segments of process analysis
and measurement of quality parameters
through additional acquisitions. Besides
this strategic focal point, the issue of digitalization
is another major factor driving the
company forward. New technologies and
business models place further demands on
the Group while simultaneously creating
opportunities for the future.

The Exotherm UNIFLUX high performance convective
heater is the heater to use when your fluid matters!
Our design will not damage your fluids, so you keep
making money instead of making repairs.
* The UNIFLUX heater creates flue gas recirculation using a high
velocity burner technology and a loose-wound process coil
design.
*
*
*
Completely combusted flue gas recirculates 8-10 times in the
main heat transfer cabin, cooling before it reaches the process
coil.
The process coil never sees flame temperatures, providing a
uniform and predictable flux rate.
This design eliminates hot spots that could damage the fluid
or the coil.
* The UNIFLUX heater allows fluids to be pushed to the design
limits without degradation.
*
* No High temperature fan to maintain.
*
The high velocity burner and unique coil design does it all!
Single and multiple burner designs available.
