Leuze celebrates its birthday

The Leuze The company's history does not begin with the birth of its electronics division in 1963, but as far back as the 17th century in Eningen/Achalm near Reutlingen in southern Germany. Years later, when mechanical looms were replacing hand weaving and cotton was increasingly replacing domestic linen, the Leuze family took textile production into their own hands. These origins gave rise to a recognised textile company that has been successfully steered and developed over generations through all the perils of time.

„In 1861, our ancestors found exactly the conditions they needed to set up a mechanical cotton weaving and spinning mill in the Lenningen valley.“

Leuze electronic started out in 1963 and is now an international sensor expert. The fifth generation is now driving the further development of the family company - together with over 1,600 employees worldwide, the Sensor People.

„Success is always a joint effort. This understanding of values is the basis and obligation for us to continuously develop our family business. Thanks to the energetic commitment of our employees and an often long-standing relationship with our company, we have succeeded in leading our company to its current significance.“

Christof Leuze, partner and former managing director of Leuze electronic

In 2022, Leuze achieved sales of 322 million euros (2021: 258 million euros). This corresponds to an increase in turnover of around 25 per cent. The family-owned company also has ambitious growth targets for the future. The high-tech company continues to invest in decentralised structures, its Sensor People and new talent.
