In 1945, Walter Pepperi and Ludwig Fuchs founded a small radio workshop in Mannheim, Germany, based on the principles of inventiveness, entrepreneurial foresight, and self-reliance. The experience they acquired was transformed into new ideas, and they continued to enjoy developing products for customers. The eventual results was the invention of the proximity switch. This innovation represented the starting point of the company’s success story.
Today, Pepperl+Fuchs is known by customers around the world as the pioneer and an innovator in electrical explosion protection and sensor technology.
