The duty of success – to offer you even more in the future.
By now, you have probably already seen the
"bird flight"
of our SmartBird, either live at one of our customer events or
in the online video clip. That was just one of the highlights
that 2011 had in store for Festo. Another one was that we
were able to increase the group's turnover to over 2.1 billion
euros!
For that we would like to say a big thank you to you – our
customers. This proves the effectiveness of partnership in
automation.
However, this also represents a duty on our part to ensure
that your automation is successful. Concrete factors such
as a good, innovative
product strategy
, intelligent and
intuitive
solutions
for factory automation and process
automation and reliable deliveries are the core of this
objective. But there are less tangible factors that are also
becoming increasingly important, for example:
excellent
design,
combined with great customer benefits,
outstanding
engineering tools
and services throughout
the entire value added chain.
Call on us to do our duty – we're certain you will benefit
from it!
Simply Festo!
Dr. Eberhard Veit,
Chairman of the Management Board and
Member of the Management Board, Technology and Market Positioning
of Festo AG
