However, this performance harbors considerable risks for machine operators - that's the downside. We at Fiessler Elektronik have the right antidote: light. As one of the international technology leaders for safety light barriers and the world market leader in press brake safety, we design and produce individual personal protection devices.

Our 70-year company history shows just how experienced and responsible we are. Our numerous patents and pioneering safety solutions show just how innovative and pioneering we are. More than 20 Fiessler agencies on all five continents show just how much we are in demand.

Patents and pioneering achievements

Technological progress is moving at a rapid pace, machines and systems are constantly being developed further - effective safety technology must be able to keep up. Fiessler Elektronik masters precisely this challenge: as a modern, innovative company, we operate a high-performance research and development department at our headquarters in Aichwald, Swabia. This is where trends are recognized at an early stage, new ideas and impulses are born and transformed into market-driven safety solutions and individual special systems. This outstanding technical solution expertise has not only earned us the Baden-Württemberg Innovation Award. It is also the reason why Fiessler Elektronik is a pioneer. And the holder of many patents in the fields of EMC technology, safety light curtains, AKAS® press brake guarding and FMSC safety control.

You can rely on it

Where industrial production takes place, where man and machine work together, safety technology must be relied upon. This is because it protects both the employee and the employer, who is obliged to provide safe workplaces in accordance with the operator directive. The development and production of safety solutions is therefore an extremely responsible task - which Fiessler Elektronik masters reliably. Our quality assurance system is certified to ISO 9001 and guarantees the consistently high quality of our services and products, which comply with international safety guidelines without exception. We are also a long-standing member of national and international standardization committees.

Our sense of responsibility is also reflected in our approach to the environment: Fiessler invests in new energy sources and produces a large proportion of the energy it requires using the company's own photovoltaic system.

In the mirror of time

In 1956, Dipl. Ing. H.W. Fiessler founded the company Fiessler Elektronik with the aim of manufacturing optoelectronic devices. Since then, customer-specific solutions have been at the forefront of the company's activities.

The development and production of safety light barriers began 70 years ago. Thousands of Fiessler Elektronik safety light barriers have been in industrial use since then. Today, Fiessler Elektronik is one of the global technology leaders for safety light barriers.

Fiessler Elektronik is managed by the second generation. A team of highly qualified employees and a large vertical range of manufacture are the basis for innovative products in the field of safety technology and customized optical sensors. A quality assurance system in accordance with ISO 9001 guarantees the customer a consistently high quality of products and services.
