Attractive employer: Awards for PC Flowtec and PC Conducta

Integrated energy management Full takeover of Systemplan

Endress+Hauser will fully take over Systemplan GmbH and continue it under the name Endress+Hauser Systemplan GmbH. The consultancy and engineering company located in Durmersheim, Germany will act as a Center of Competence with global responsibility for energy management solutions.

Company founder Michael Hager has sold the remaining shares and will retire from management by the end of the year, but will continue to work for the company in a consulting capacity. In operative terms the company will concentrate on Central Europe, working outwards from the German market. From 1 January 2016, Endress+Hauser Systemplan will be directed by Günther Lukassen, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Germany.

The globally operating research and consulting institute ‘Great Place to Work’ lists Endress+Hauser Flowtec AG among Switzerland’s best employers. In 2014, 95 enterprises took part in the benchmark study, with 28 now proudly boasting the title after some thorough research. The Production Center took 5th place in the ‘Large Companies’ category for firms with over 250 employees. “This award proves that we are on the right track with our corporate ap proach and our job philosophy, and that our people are comfortable with us,” says Marcel Ziltener, Director HR.

This is now the second time in succession that Endress+Hauser Conducta proudly holds the title ’Employer of the Year’. The employer’s competition judged the satisfaction of the workforce, their identification with the company and its products, and the quality of its management. “Our people’s commitment and motivation are essential pillars of our company’s success,” says Managing Director Dr Manfred Jagiella. “We offer them a working environment where work is also fun.”

Instant aid  IST collects funds for the earthquake victims in Nepal

In the course of a presentation about the Langtang region in Nepal, which had been badly hit by the earthquake, Innovative Sensor Technology AG collected a donation of 3.000 Swiss Francs. The money was remitted to the relief organization LiScha Himalaya which gives families instant help in the shape of emergency packages including tents, blankets and food. “90 percent of all houses and schools in this region have been damaged by the earthquakes in April and May,” explains the initiator Konstantin Kirsch, who works for IST. The rest of the money will be used for rebuilding schools. “We are ever so grateful for this great action with its overwhelming outcome,” the organization responded. “This money goes a long way in Nepal.”
