Endress+Hauser will in future be well placed to offer its customers even better support in issues relating to energy efficiency through its acquisition of the German consultancy company Systemplan, which will bring a wealth of experience in measuring, charting, analysing and optimising energy flow in both plants and offices.
For the majority of companies, energy efficiency is top of the agenda. “Hardly any other investment pays off so quickly,” says Michael Ziesemer, chief operating officer of the Endress+Hauser Group. “Energy efficiency is the most economical way of meeting the internationally agreed objectives for carbon dioxide reduction.”
Endress+Hauser is already supporting its customers in this field. “With our energy monitoring solutions, we help to record and monitor energy flow,” explains Ziesemer. “Together with our extensive knowledge of customer applications, Systemplan rounds off this range of services.”
Systemplan was founded in 1998 and employs about 25 people. It is a partner in the E-Energy Research Project promoted by the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft, (German Federal Ministry of Economics), under which new energy initiatives are tested and implemented in pilot regions. “Our strength is in giving advice that takes full cost optimisation into account,” says company founder, Michael Hager. “We help in the analysis of energy flows and identifying the measures required to reduce energy consumption effectively.”
Hager will continue to head the company and will report to the management of the Endress+Hauser Group in Reinach, Switzerland. Klaus Endress, CEO of the Endress+Hauser Group, is confident that the takeover has advantages for all concerned. “Our customers benefit from an offer from a single source. Endress+Hauser will benefit from the increase in competencies and Systemplan from our global market presence.”
