Why 90 % Siemens? - Good reasons for proven standards

In most of our projects, we rely on components from Siemens. Why? Because they stand for quality, long-term availability and seamless integration.

We generally choose technologies flexibly and on a project-specific basis. Over decades, however, we have developed a clear preference for Siemens - especially in PLC and electrical engineering. Our systems often run in 24/7 operation. Changes are often made during ongoing production or with minimal downtime. This is where our customers benefit from our in-depth expertise and the resulting synergy effects.

"90% Siemens" sounds one-sided - especially in a market with strong suppliers such as Rockwell, Schneider, Mitsubishi or ABB. In fact, several manufacturers share the market in Europe. However, our statement does not refer to market shares, but to our project environment: plants in the DACH region and other European countries in which Siemens control technology has been established for decades. Specifications, release lists and existing system landscapes are often geared towards this.

Further reasons for this focus

  • Many operators are expanding existing Siemens systems

  • Consistent engineering across PLC, HMI, drives, network and safety reduces interfaces and integration risks

  • PROFINET and PROFIBUS are widely used

  • Safety solutions with F-CPU and PROFISAFE can be fully integrated

  • Long-term investment security over 10-25 years thanks to spare parts availability, service and support

In drive technology, we also work with other manufacturers such as SEW, depending on the project. When it comes to sensor technology, technical suitability is the deciding factor.

Our focus on Siemens is therefore not a dogma, but the result of experience, the market environment and the desire to realise stable and future-proof solutions for our customers.
