Endress+Hauser and SICK Form Process Automation Joint Venture

SICK, a leading solution provider for sensor-based applications in the industrial sector, has merged its advanced gas analysis and flow measurement technology with the Endress+Hauser instrumentation portfolio. The collaboration is designed to offer customers in the process industry enhanced support in increasing plant efficiency, protecting the environment, and reducing carbon footprint. Endress+Hauser has been exclusively marketing SICK’s gas analysis and flow measurement technology worldwide since January 1, 2025.

Production and further development of the gas analyzers and flowmeters are now under the umbrella of Endress+Hauser SICK GmbH+Co. KG. SICK and Endress+Hauser will each hold 50 percent of the joint venture as of 1 March 2025. The company employs around 730 people at several German sites and will collaborate with Endress+Hauser’s product centers to drive product innovation and meet evolving market demands. As a result of the strategic partnership, around 800 sales and service employees from SICK will transfer to Endress+Hauser across 42 countries. 

In China, for technical reasons the transition will not take place until 1 March 2025. In Türkiye and Saudi Arabia, sales and service will be transferred to Endress+Hauser in the first quarter.

SICK’s core factory and logistics automation business, which accounted for more than 80 percent of its 2.3 billion euros in 2023 sales, will not be affected by this partnership.
