September 27, 2017
Level, flow, pressure and pressure measurement solutions provider Endress+Hauser recently inaugurated a new campus in Lyon, France to house the European headquarters of Kaiser Optical Systems, warehouse space, and training areas, a company press release announced Wednesday.
“The new building offers modern offices for our employees and abundant space for customer training,” said Laurent Mulley, managing director of Endress+Hauser France, at the inauguration event, according to the company’s release. “At the same time, we are bringing together Endress+Hauser's process control technology and the advanced analysis processes of Kaiser Optical Systems under a single roof. We are thus laying a foundation that will allow us to strengthen our presence in the French market over the long term,”
Constructed close to the Lyon–Bron airport, the 7000-sq-m campus includes a training center and presentation room, as well as 1500 sq m of warehouse space. Endress+Hauser invested €4.9 million, or about $5.7 million, in the project. 25 sales and service staff will work at the campus, in addition to nine employees of Kaiser Optical.
“One of the cornerstones of our strategy is to one day support our customers' lab and process control applications,” Matthias Altendorf, chief executive officer of the Endress+Hauser Group, said in a statement. “Having Endress+Hauser and Kaiser Optical Systems in proximity in Lyon illustrates the progress we are making in carrying out this strategy.”
Endress+Hauser said the expanding its process control and laboratory analysis business reflects increased demand from its customers for enhanced quality parameter measurements.
