Corporate Profile
Our company opened up to the global market very early on. For example, in the early 1980s, Balluff began to continuously expand its production and sales network. Today, Balluff is no longer just at home in Neuhausen, but also has a presence in Europe, Asia, North and South America, and in all other important markets. We have a presence in 68 countries worldwide. This is so we can understand and assist our customers better and be able to provide them exactly what they need: high-quality sensor, identification and image processing solutions including network technology and software for all automation requirements.
As a future-oriented company, we not only focus on the traditional areas of automation but are also dedicated to developing holistic applications for an increasingly digital and connected world. When it comes to quality, we have our own particular ideas. We call it Balluff Quality – a higher standard which goes beyond applicable official standards, not only in production but also in consulting and services.
Our clients also feel that special commitment when we assist them – fulfill their requirements, accept their challenges and develop forward-thinking technologies for them. Because we know that if our clients are perfectly equipped for the future, then so are we. "Innovating automation" is, therefore, our motto.

Consistent customer orientation
At Balluff, the powers and responsibilities are clearly divided. In order to keep time-to-decision and time-to-market as short as possible.
The customer stands in the center of our strategic orientation. Balluff therefore concentrates on implementing the specific demands of the respective industry sectors quickly and in a targeted manner. This clear focus is reflected in the seven business units of our organizational structure. Three of these encompass the main industries Mobility, Packaging, Food & Beverage as well as Machine & Plant Engineering in one organizational unit. The four other units handle Marketing & Sales, Technology, Supply Chain as well as Services, Finance & Quality.

With our network consisting of 38 subsidiaries with sales, production and development as well as sales representatives we are a presence in 68 countries worldwide. This means we offer best-in-class delivery times, high delivery reliability, transparent material flows and clear responsibilities. And even – especially important for our customers – with consistently higher quality.
