High spirits safeguard steady innovation

The EUCHNER success story starts in 1940 with the start-up of an engineering company by Emil Euchner. A milestone was set in 1952 with the development of the first “multiple limit switch” in the world. Highly sophisticated in technical terms, this position switch was devel- oped in close co-operation with the machine tool industry. It is used for positioning and control- ling machines and systems, and is still a symbol of the company’s innovative power today.Safeguarding people, machines and processes is the main focus of EUCHNER's activities today. Wherever people and machine meet, our safety components help minimizing hazards and risks for workers.Our primary objective is 100% customer satisfaction without neglecting the well-being of our employees. The hallmarks of the EUCHNER philosophy are therefore quality, reliability and pre cision. Based on the long-standing experience of our staff, we always find the right solution for our customers’ specific requirements. 13 subsidiaries – eight in Europe, three in Asia and two in North and South America – and one J/V in India cover the globe along with 23 authorized partners. Besides our Headquarters in Leinfelden and a production in Unterböhringen, the company has also started an assembly plant in China. 2
