Above-average qualitycreates reliability

“Growing successfully in security”

Principle from ifm’s corporate philosophy

Responsible growth:

The chairmen of the management board

Martin Buck and Michael Marhofer runthe family-owned company in the second

generation. Since the foundation of the

company in 1969, ifm has been growing

consistently. Grow with us:

ifm – close to you!

Turnover development since 1970

Quality “Made in Germany”.Closely linked to the location Germany, we mainly produce in the

region of Lake Constance. Administration and logistics of the family-

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

annual worldwide production of 13.5 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 ifm’s corporate philosophy).

Extensive testing and certification as well as about 600 employees in

the field of research and development guarantee this.



Extraordinary innovationsensure the future

“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. About 600

internal development engineers in close

cooperation with research institutes, uni-

versities and young partner companies

such as pmdtechnologies gmbh or

i-for- t gmbh, find new ideas and imple-

ment them.

The result: more than 600 own patentsand patent applications.

“ifm wants to offer outstandingproduct quality, service andreliability”


Quality just in time:

In time and reliable – the manufacturing

processes are continually analysed and op-

timised 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 uncomprising

high quality. The central logistics centre

guarantees high availability of our

products – over 98 % availability within

four days for catalogue units.
