Schmersal safety switches

Founded in 1945 by the brothers Kurt Andreas and Ernst Schmersal in Wuppertal, Germany, the Schmersal Group has grown from a company initially producing components for lifts into a global leader in machine safety and automation solutions. The company's foundational mission, established in the aftermath of World War II, has always been to provide "Safety in System – Protection for man and machine." This commitment to quality, innovation, and, above all, safety has been the driving force behind Schmersal's success for over 75 years.

The founders' vision was to create a company that would not just manufacture components but also provide comprehensive safety solutions for the evolving industrial landscape. Today, Schmersal's extensive product portfolio includes a vast range of safety switchgear and systems, from safety switches and solenoid interlocks to safety light curtains and programmable safety controllers. These products are essential for a wide array of industries, including machine building, food processing, packaging, and heavy industry, where they play a critical role in safeguarding both personnel and machinery.

From its headquarters in Germany, the Schmersal Group has established a formidable global presence. With seven production plants on three continents, subsidiaries and sales partners in more than 60 countries, and a workforce of approximately 1,900 employees, the company serves a diverse international clientele. This worldwide network, combined with a commitment to in-house manufacturing and continuous research and development, allows Schmersal to provide its innovative and high-quality safety solutions to customers across the globe.
