SAMSON Controls AG
About us
SAMSON operates wherever there is controlled flow of oils, gases, vapors or chemical substances. Valves are our core business. With our valves, we are active in a market that has enormous potential for future innovations. We are further expanding the valves' decentralized intelligence. By developing new, smart systems, we are transforming process automation to the benefit of our customers and to achieve greater flexibility, safety and reliability in industrial processes. We are continually driving technical, business and organizational innovations within our company to reach this goal.
We preserve the heritage established by our company's founding father, Mr. Hermann Sandvoss, and ensure that his philosophy lives on by continuously developing product innovations and upgrades. This is one of the reasons why we rely on the experience and expertise of our long-standing members of staff and offer them development opportunities to acquire knowledge and skills in current and new areas of competence. A willingness to make staff, organizational and technical changes is ingrained in the SAMSON culture and enables us to successfully shape our current and future markets in the long run.
Products & services
FOCUS-1, the intelligent process node
FOCUS-ON is built on the experience of the SAMSON and KROHNE companies. SAMSON, founded in 1907 in Neuss, Germany, is a specialist in control valves for the process industry. Also originating in flow technology, KROHNE was founded in 1921 in Duisburg, Germany and specializes in process instrumentation. World-class engineering expertise providing a broad product range, extensive sales and service network through many local entities, and commitment to continuity through a family-owned business environment is the common DNA of both the companies. Even though close cooperation had been ongoing between the companies since years in many areas, it was in 2017 that the CEOs of both companies, Dr. Andreas Widl (SAMSON) and Stephan Neuburger (KROHNE) took the first steps towards an extensive collaboration. This autumn day was the start of our ambitious project – FOCUS, which later evolved into a joint-venture company, FOCUS-ON VoF. FOCUS-ON combines the experience, knowledge, and network of the valve specialist and the instrumentation specialist into a revolutionary idea (and product) that is supported by a culture built on understanding customer’s needs, fostering partnerships, and driving improvement in process industry, while still acting as a close-knit family.
