Do you primarily view Turck as a sensor provider? I am pleased that in this issue of our customer magazine more@TURCK, we are able to more accurately present the company and its positioning. In the cover story, we will show you why Turck has long been much more than a component supplier and how you as a customer benefit from it. When it comes to “me too” products with which suppli- ers are only distinguished from one another due to price, neither manufacturer nor customer is happy. Continuously driving the costs down, results in a loss of quality. You do not want that, we do not want that. Turck therefore uses its excellent location advantage and develops and produces in Germany where the majority of our customers also develop and produce. That is how – working in close collaboration with you, our customer – solutions with added value are developed, which originate from the impressive offerings of more than 13,000 products in the areas of sensor, fieldbus, interface and connection technology for factory and process automation, as well as from customized products designed specifically for your application. The problem of understanding the customer means transforming yourself from sales person to consultant and solv- ing the entire application issue. The fact that Turck is on the right path with its transformation from component supplier to solution supplier is also evident in our growth figures. For the sixth time in a row, the family-owned and operated company recorded double-digit growth. We are expecting a revenue of about 330 million euro at the end of this year. Read more in the coming pages. You can look forward to an interesting mix of current product presentations, exciting trend and application reports and much more from Turck with more@TURCK. I hope you enjoy your reading and that the information provided adds value to your daily work.
