 Pilz celebrates its anniversary!

Our anniver­sary issue of “Mensch und Automa­tion” takes you on a journey through 75 years of Pilz – from its begin­nings as a glass-blowing busi­ness to today’s automa­tion experts for Safety and Indus­trial Secu­rity. Read more about the joy of inno­va­tion and a value-ori­ented togeth­er­ness at Pilz.

In con­ver­sa­tion with Susanne Kun­schert and Thomas Pilz, Man­aging Part­ners, they give their per­sonal insights into the devel­op­ment of the safe automa­tion com­pany.

Pilz through the ages

Pilz’s com­pany his­tory is char­ac­terised by inspi­ra­tional events and tech­no­log­ical mile­stones. A journey from 1948 to the present day.
