Innovations

For us, the main focus of our innovations is the demand of the automation market. Our research and development projects are global – often in cooperation with universities. We invest more than 6.6 % of our profits annually in research and development. In 2004/2005, this meant a sum of 654 million euros. Thanks to this investment and our global development management, we are able to offer our customers the most modern automation and drives product portfolio in the world, a portfolio in which four of every five products are less than 5 years old.
