Endress+Hauser’s inventors is celebrate new patent applications. Four innovations that improve product flexibility and reliability have been recognized with awards.
Endress+Hauser applied for 230 patents last year. More than 240 innovators from across the Group gathered at the 2013 Innovators' Meeting held at the 'Rhypark' hall in Basel, Switzerland, to introduce their developments and share their experiences with their colleagues. Four highly-successful patented solutions received awards. Three teams were also recognized for significantly improving business processes.
"Our capacity to innovate continues to grow. Since 2000, the number of patent applications has increased fourfold," says Michael Ziesemer, the Group's COO and deputy CEO. "The 230 filed patents in 2012 send a strong signal to our customers that we are growing with and for them." To recognize granted patents of particular commercial importance, four Patent Rights Incentive Awards, each worth 15,000 euros, were given to innovators from the production centers of Endress+Hauser Wetzer in Nesselwang, Germany, Endress+Hauser Flowtec in Reinach, Switzerland, Endress+Hauser in Maulburg, Germany, and Endress+Hauser Conducta in Waldheim, Germany.
