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.

Extraordinary innovationsensure the future.
ifm does not only intend to covervisible needs, but also directlycreates needs by demonstratingnew applications
Principle from ifms corporate philosophy
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
Principle from ifms 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 uncompro-
mising high quality. The central logistics
centre delivers your order reliably and in
time if requested, even within the
following 24 hours.
