Quality Made in Germany.Closely linked to the location Germany, we mainly produce in theregion of Lake Constance. Administration and logistics of the family-

owned company are located in the Ruhr region. More than 90 % of

the annual worldwide production of ten million sensors and systems

are developed, produced and optimised in Germany each single

product at reliably high quality. Given that high product quality and

accurate technical data are unimpeachable values of ifm.

(Principle from ifms corporate philosophy).

Extensive testing and certifications as well as more than 400 own

development engineers guarantee this.

ifm does not only intend to covervisible needs, but also directlycreates needs by demonstratingnew applications


Keeping the markets of tomorrow in view:

Whether innovative product ideas, high-

quality standard solutions or application-

specific product developments ifm is

curious and loves solutions. More than 400

internal development engineers about

12 % of our employees in close coopera-

tion with research institutes, universities

and young partner companies such as

PMDTechnologies GmbH or i-for-t GmbH,

find new ideas and implement them.

The result: more 500 own patents andpatent applications.

ifm wants to offer outstandingproduct quality, service andreliability


Quality just in time:

In time and reliable the manufacturing

processes are continually analysed and

optimised to keep the delivery times as

short as possible. This means: irrespective

of quantities or the time frame each

single ifm product is always of uncompro-

mising high quality. The central logistics

centre delivers your order reliably and in

time if requested, even within the

following 24 hours.
