Since 1916, the manufacturing plant and head office have been located on the River Main in Frankfurt. Here, the product development and manufacturing take place as well as administration and warehousing. The Frankfurt headquarters and the affiliated companies employ and train 2500 people to become highly skilled specialists with a genuine commitment to the company.

All equipment quoted is designed and manufactured by Samson, Germany. Samson is certified according to ISO 9003 and all procedures for design, manufacturing and testing are in accordance therewith. Samson is a leading European manufacturer of control valves and self-regulated controllers to the process industries. Major customers include multinational companies such as engineering contractors Kvaerner, Bechtel, Lurgi, as end-users like BASF, BP Chemicals, Hoechst, Degussa, Amoco, Petronas and Bayer.

Samson believes that this change as a new established Samson subsidiary in this part of the world will strengthen its vision to be admired for its customer and business partnerships and reliable performance.
