On 10 October 2011, Endress+Hauser officially launched its new Sandton head office building project: Cementing the future together. Svanesso, a sculpture by Swiss artist Claire Ochsner donated to the Sandton office by Klaus Endress at the official opening of the Conference Centre in October 2004, has been removed for safe keeping.

The project was originally intended to begin in 2010, but due to the economic crisis had to be postponed. “For a long time now it has been clear that we would outgrow our current building and in order for us to meet the growing demands of the market, we needed to invest in a state-of-the-art building for sales and services in Sandton,” says MD Rob MacKenzie.
“Over the past 25 years, the ‘people for process automation’ has developed from a niché provider of level instruments, sold via an agency, to a R300 million Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) company and a major supplier of products, services and solutions for process measurement technology.”
