+ ENDRESS+HAUSER IS DEVELOPING STRONGLY

Endress+Hauser has developed strongly in its 70th anniversary year. The specialist for measurement technology and automation solutions increased its consolidated sales by 11 percent to more than 3.7 billion euros in 2023. The Swiss family-owned company created 715 new jobs worldwide. At the end of the year, the Group had 16,532 employees. Endress+Hauser also expects to continue growing in the current year.

"Endress+Hauser recorded strong organic growth in 2023, boosted by record-high orders on hand at the start of the year," said chief financial officer Dr Luc Schultheiss. Individual markets and sectors developed very differently. Economic momentum slowed noticeably in the second half of the year.

"Nevertheless, we were able to maintain our order income at a good level and want to take advantage of the growth opportunities in 2024 as well," emphasized Dr Peter Selders, the Group's new CEO since the start of the year.

Endress+Hauser has written the next chapter in its success story. The specialist for measurement and automation technology marked its 70th birthday in 2023, with celebrations worldwide.

+ ENDRESS+HAUSER WETZER GMBH+CO. KG: AT HOME WITH ALICE AND GEORG H ENDRESS

Endress+Hauser has converted the former home of Alice and Georg H Endress into a guest house. The building on the outskirts of the municipality of Arlesheim, Switzerland, has 10 guest rooms and several lounges. A pavilion in the garden offers space for meetings and seminars. The property will be used by employees of the company, which is based in the neighboring town of Reinach, as well as members of the shareholder family.

The estate of the company founder and his wife is now owned by Endress+Hauser. With its special history, the guest house offers a personal touch in contrast to ordinary guest houses and hotels. The villa and the small gatehouse with garage were modernized during the extensive renovation. Wood and exposed concrete characterize the architecture of the guest house. The rooms are bright and friendly and the interior is of high quality.

The focus on sustainability is evident in the choice of materials and the photovoltaic system on the roof. Inside, elements of the original interior design have been incorporated into the new usage: Some guest rooms therefore feature the characteristic vaulted ceiling of the former swimming pool.
