celebrating the 100th anniversary of the company's founding
A
century of passion for technology and innovation: In 100 years,

global manufacturing company. With products and solutions for electrification,
networking, and automation in all sectors of the economy
and infrastructure - and with a passion for innovation and technology.

revolution that are the basis for a sustainable world, " says Frank
Stührenberg, CEO Phoenix Contact, describing the significance of
the 100th anniversary.
Connections of people and technologies
Good connections are not only elementary in Phoenix Contact's
products they have also given rise to a globally active industrial company
from the idea of businessman Hugo Knümann. With the founding
of Phönix Elektro- und Industrie-Bedarfsgesellschaft in Essen in
1923, the company initially started out as a pure sales company. In
1928, the business connection with RWE led to the invention of the
first terminal block on a
DIN rail. In 1949, Knümann
met Josef Eisert, a development
engineer at Siemens,
who took over the company
in 1953 after Knümann's
death.
