Sick, an international provider of sensor-based automation solutions headquartered in Germany, and the Swiss measurement technology specialist Endress+Hauser have launched a strategic partnership for process automation. Sick and Endress+Hauser will each hold 50 percent of the joint venture.
The companies’ joint venture, Endress+Hauser Sick GmbH+Co. KG, will strengthen the development and production of analyzer and gas flow meter technologies, expanding the companies’ solution offerings.
As part of the partnership, around 800 Sick employees in the global sales and service units in 42 countries with a focus on “Cleaner Industries” have transferred to Endress+Hauser. For customers, this means that their Sick contacts are available at Endress+Hauser for consulting, sales, and service of process automation solutions. The product portfolio for process automation is now available at www.endress.com.
The companies initially agreed to the partnership last summer.
