Pepperl+Fuchs Innovations for the Future of Automation

"Your automation, our passion"—Pepperl+Fuchs' company claim is also our promise to our customers: that we are committed and passionate about developing solutions and products that optimally support their automation challenges.

A spirit of research, entrepreneurial vision, and a belief in their own abilities—in 1945, founding fathers Walter Pepperl and Ludwig Fuchs laid the foundations for a success story in a small radio workshop in Mannheim that continues to this day. A look at the more than 75-year history of Pepperl+Fuchs reveals many milestones, including the invention of the inductive proximity sensor in 1954, which not only demonstrates the company's consistently high level of innovation. It also reflects a fundamental attitude that has been the most important pillar of this success story from the very beginning: working in partnership with our customers, working together as equals.
