Above-average quality creates reliability Growing successfully in security Principle from ifm s corporate philosophy Responsible growth: The chairmen of the management board Martin Buck and Michael Marhofer run the 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 700 sales development in million EUR 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 Quality Made in Germany. Closely linked to the location Germany, we mainly produce in the region of Lake Constance. Administration and logistics of the familyowned 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. 4
Extraordinary innovations ensure the future ifm does not only intend to cover visible needs, but also directly creates needs by demonstrating new applications Principle from ifm s corporate philosophy Keeping the markets of tomorrow in view: Whether innovative product ideas, highquality standard solutions or applicationspecific product developments ifm is curious and loves solutions. About 600 internal development engineers in close cooperation 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 than 600 own patents and patent applications. ifm wants to offer outstanding product quality, service and reliability Principle from ifm s corporate philosophy 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 uncomprising high quality. The central logistics centre guarantees high availability of our products over 98 % availability within four days for catalogue units. 5
