Endress+Hauser expands footprint in Waldheim 

The Endress+Hauser Group has opened a new development and production building for liquid analysis at its Waldheim site in Saxony, Germany. The family-owned company has had a presence in Waldheim since 1990 and has steadily grown its operations there over the years. This latest expansion signals the company’s commitment to the region and enables further growth. 

Endress+Hauser Liquid Analysis invested around 35 million euros in the new building, effectively doubling the Waldheim site’s usable floor area to over 18,000 square meters. The three-story annex houses new production facilities, a logistics center with a fully automated warehouse, an extensive development facility complete with office space, laboratories and workshops, and a new staff restaurant. 

In Waldheim, Endress+Hauser Liquid Analysis develops and produces sensors and components for multiparameter liquid analysis transmitters. The Waldheim site’s specialty is pH glass sensors, which are manufactured in a highly specialized process.

The innovation pathway for developing these products through to series launch is complex and requires both intensive collaboration between all involved and room for individual creativity. The new building was designed with precisely these requirements in mind. 

“The expansion creates space for further growth and unequivocally signals our long-term strategy for this location. The new facilities enable us to take our development and production to a whole new level,” commented Endress+Hauser Liquid Analysis managing director Dr Thomas Buer.

Endress+Hauser Group CEO Dr Peter Selders echoed these sentiments: “Endress+Hauser is a technology leader. Our success is powered by innovation, based on the skills and expertise of our employees. That is why we are constantly investing in our global network.”

Endress+Hauser Liquid Analysis is one of the world’s leading providers of measuring instruments and complete systems for liquid analysis. The company’s innovative strength is drawn from the expertise and engagement of its more than 1,300 employees worldwide, some 430 of whom are based in Waldheim. It operates other sites in Germany – including its main site in Gerlingen, near Stuttgart – and in the USA and India. The Endress+Hauser Group as a whole now has over 18,000 employees worldwide.
