Sick and the Swiss measurement technology specialist Endress+Hauser have entered into a strategic partnership for process automation. The aim is to provide customers with better support and to advance technological solutions for the decarbonization of the process industry. The joint venture “Endress+Hauser Sick GmbH+Co. KG” will strengthen the development and production of analytical measurement technology and gas flow measurement. Around 800 Sick employees will join Endress+Hauser to sell product solutions worldwide.
