»With colleagues I planned and actively arranged the
relocation of our department to the Technology Plant
Today I have a personal attachment to the plant As
a deputy manager I make sure that the employees can
work in a balanced, commensurate and productive
manner – and by doing so that the different orders are
carried out for our customers without problems «

Variety and applications
Depending on the application area, valve terminals, control cabi-
nets, drives, control blocks, high pressure pneumatics products or
system solutions are produced In bottling plants for drinks, for
examples, different control systems are required for sparkling
wine, beer or juice because of disparate processes Special valves
make it possible to sort vegetables or rice reliably using com-
pressed air – rice can even be sorted in free fall thanks to rapid
switching. Over and above this, Festo produces specific solutions
for other customers from the food industry, for the automotive
industry, plant and electronics manufacturers, medical technology,
the packaging and automation industry or manufacturers of paint-
ing facilities, wood and textile machinery
Thanks to the wide spectrum of solutions, the experts try to meet
the full needs of every customer
Whether it is a few thousand a year, a small batch of several hun-
dred or just a single item, the Festo specialists for customer solu-
tions deliver a wide range of special designs As each customer
brings its own wishes and challenges, they develop and produce
components with individually unabridged functions and proper-
ties
Understanding customers
Many production processes run under extreme temperatures,
many require special greases, sealants and cleaning agents Oth-
ers in turn have increased safety requirements in relation to leak-
age, need special flange valves or additional fixing holes. In order
to be able to deliver tailored solutions, a direct exchange of infor-
mation is necessary: the Festo sales engineers coordinate with the
customer and work out designs in close cooperation Single sam-
ples and individual prototypes can be produced as easily as com-
plex serial products
At the customer’s request
Special components and single components for individual
customer needs are manufactured by hand assembly in
the Technology Plant
For the customers
• Customised project handling
• Competence in product complexity
