As a result of the strategic partnership, around 800 sales and service employees from SICK will transfer to Endress+Hauser across 42 countries. The collaboration in process automation will allow customers to access a broader range of products from a single source and benefit from enhanced expertise in gas measurement technology. With its global sales network, Endress+Hauser will access new customers, reach additional industries and tap into further application areas.
Joint venture for development and manufacturing
The production and further development of the gas analyzers and flowmeters were brought together under the umbrella of Endress+Hauser SICK GmbH+Co. KG. SICK and Endress+Hauser will each hold 50 percent of the joint venture as of 1 March 2025. The company employs around 730 people at several German sites and will collaborate closely with Endress+Hauser’s product centers to drive product innovation and meet evolving market demands.
Seamless business transition
Hundreds of employees from both companies have been preparing for the smooth transition of the business in recent months. Now the gas measurement sales and service teams at Endress+Hauser are ready to provide support. Since 1 January 2025, Endress+Hauser has been exclusively marketing SICK’s gas analysis and flow measurement technology worldwide. In China, the transition will not take place until 1 March 2025 for technical reasons. In Türkiye and Saudi Arabia, sales and service will be transferred to Endress+Hauser in the first quarter.
Dr Peter Selders, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group and Dr Mats Gökstorp, chairman of the executive board of SICK AG expressed their gratitude to employees on both sides who contributed to establish this partnership. “Above all, we thank all the employees who have made the process automation business strong with their expertise and commitment and will continue this success story with the strategic partnership,” said Mats Gökstorp. Peter Selders added: “We look forward to working with the people joining us and the joint venture to build something new and make this partnership a success.”
