Balluff as an employer

As a family run company since 1921, we are aware of our responsibility as an employer and member of society. We are happy to be involved in the communities we call home. As diverse as our involvement may be, it always pursues one goal: Balluff is commited to the common good.

Our youth – our chance

As the skills gap in manufacturing grows, we recognize that engaging our youth is an important responsibility for every member of the manufacturing community. With programs at the elementary, middle, and high-school levels, we encourage kids to pursue manufacturing, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math), and trade school career opportunities. At the university level, we share our passion for automation and provide internship and co-op opportunities.

TECHFit Program

Working in a partnership with Phoenix Contact, Purdue University, College of Charleston and additional vendors, Balluff trains middle school teachers on the use of donated sensor technologies. The teachers then provide an afterschool program teaching programming, automation and health/fitness objectives to students. The students create an "exergame" and compete with other schools judged by a panel of professors and industry advisors.https://techfit.tech.purdue.edu/
