philosophy. It is our aim, in line with our vision, sense of values and our self-perception, to bring about

a company organized, regulated and sustained from within according to market demands.

This “Learning Company” is a global melting pot of this concept and is the focus and basis of interdisciplinary

innovations and expertise. In automation using pneumatic and electrical components, it is the goal of Festo

to be the best, the worldwide No. 1 company in this branch of industry. We will do this by demonstrating

the greatest competence in problem-solving.

enterprise. Festo was founded in 1925 as a family business producing woodworking machines. Nothing has changed to date

as far as the status of the family business is concerned. However, over the decades the areas of business were constantly

broadened, always with a view to the future. In the Europe of the mid-1950s nobody apart from Festo recognized the

potential of pneumatics for automation technology; that is when the company began its gradual rise to its position today

as the world’s leading brand for pneumatic components and systems. Today, more than 300,000 industrial customers worldwide

put their faith in the competent answers of Festo. Individual. Total. Universal.

automation. The boundaries between mechanical engineering,

electrical engineering and information technology have become

indistinct. Without a doubt, increasing industrial automation

has been and will continue to provide the driving force of this

development. Festo is a decisive force, whether pneumatic, electric

or servopneumatic. Components, subassemblies and systems for

automation are being used in more and more sectors for more and more

applications. Here, bespoke solutions to problems are just as essential

as systematic consultation and first-class service as well as training

and a transfer of general and in-depth knowledge on automation.

Individual. Worldwide.

motion. Driving, gripping, joining, rotating, precise and spatial positioning

and handling. Moving objects and new ideas with air is one of the greatest challenges

of industrial automation. Innovative approaches do not just appear out of thin air but

instead grow from imagination, knowledge and the ability to transfer these into

creative engineering. New applications in the right technological mix, target-driven

dynamism, flexible solutions – this is the only way to generate the concepts of

tomorrow, concepts as diverse as the needs of our customers.

control. Moving objects with air is only one side

of the coin – meaningless without the efficient integration

of all individual steps in overall control processes. Festo

was one of the first companies to use and implement to

the full the integration of software and sensors for drives

and valves as well as the interaction of pneumatics and

control technology. These interact with each other,

individual components merge into units and contiguous

systems. Consummate flexibility points the way, synergies

are pre-programmed.

segments. Without a doubt, no two sectors of industry are alike; each sector has its own requirements – and no one knows this

better and reacts as individually as Festo. Whether it’s the automotive, electronics or food and packaging industry, right up to

materials handling and beyond, specialist knowledge is in high demand; the agenda calls for answers to highly specialized

problems. The individual approach to dealing with the market – supported by global human networking – ensures that com-

petent advice and concepts geared to needs always go hand in hand.

variety. With over 23,000 individual products in the

catalogue in hundreds of thousands of variations,

Festo offers a solid and diverse basis for providing small systems,

subassemblies and components. This guarantees a varied

approach to suit requirements, to suit the task. Whether individual

catalogue products, products specific to a certain sector, or bespoke

solutions currently numbering more than 20,000 special designs, in

series or as one-offs, all your options are open to set new standards.

choice. First choice: a full range and a full overview, everything from a single source – solutions, trouble-free configurations together

with optimum compatibility. The fastest way to the desired solution for designers and buyers. From air preparation to valves,

cylinders, grippers and handling units, right up to controllers, PLCs and industrial computers. Thanks to supportive software

tools, help with selection and competent advice, you don’t waste any time. Free choice is first choice, is Festo.

knowledge. Modern automation solutions arise

out of ideas, experience and knowledge.

Learning, creativity and curiosity are the

prerequisites. It is our aim to always place

our customers in such a position that

they can find and use the best and

most effective solution in each case.

International networking, the Festo

Academy, the Festo Learning

Centre, Festo Didactic and the

Competence Groups set up in

more than 50 countries are just

some of the tools available to

convey Festo know-how quickly,

accurately and individually in

176 countries, face-to-face, offline

or online.

value. Top quality does not happen by chance

Throughout the world 47 Festo companies have

received certification to ISO 9001. The quality

engineering methods implemented worldwide

systematically ensure a continuously high standard of

quality. Festo brand-name quality has many faces; they

reveal themselves in intelligent, user-friendly product

designs, in their long service life, permanent efficiency

optimization and service around the world, around the

clock. Festo customers only deserve one thing – the best.

innovation. Absorbing impulses, processing impulses, relaying impulses. Being the global trendsetter

doesn’t just happen by chance. Working with the motto “me first” instead of “me too”, Festo develops

hundreds of new ideas each year. The result of this is currently 2,800 patents worldwide. The latest

ideas are welcomed by the market: roughly 90% of the top 500 industrial companies in the world employ

Festo products in their automation tasks.

design. At Festo it’s the details that count. Unadulterated form and function, precision and aesthetics. From easy installation and

servicing to optimum product integration in subassemblies and beyond. And last but not least a visual appeal which catches

the eye in an environment dominated by sheer function, which in turn is impressive by its functionality. This is reflected in

the international design honours awarded to Festo each year.

didactic. The “Learning Company” – evolutionary expression of human

power of imagination and great responsibility. It is over 30 years since

Festo Didactic started developing its automation engineering training

programmes. We are long since world market-leader and

trendsetter in seminars, teaching software and training

hardware. At present, schools of all kinds, universities

and companies in over 100 countries are using the

products supplied by Festo Didactic for promoting

individual skills and conveying new ideas. Life, learning,

lifelong learning. More than 30,000 seminar participants

every year speaks for itself.

qualification. Thinking in systems, identifying and simplifying

complex relationships, turning theory into tangible practical solutions.

Features that characterize good market partners in their dealings with

customers. Features that represent the intelligent complement to outstanding products.

Internal training and instruction programmes – from Festo Academy, Festo Learning Centre

and Festo Didactic right up to MBAs – ensure that Festo employees always receive optimum

qualifications in order to more than fulfil customer requirements.

interface. Worldwide, there are 56 independent Festo

national companies with over 11,500 employees and

more than 250 regional offices. This team allows Festo

to ensure that consultation, service, delivery quality and

reliability are top-notch in every industrialised region of the

world. Direct customer contact, short distances, experienced

service technicians as well as production facilities in 35 coun-

tries result in fast and on-site solutions.

A global company functioning as a customer-oriented service

provider – not an everyday experience in these times.

information. Decisions are best made on the basis

of sound knowledge and comprehensive

information. To do this, Festo offers a unique total

information system – worldwide, around the clock,

year in, year out. Over 23,000 products explained in

up to 21 languages. Whether in printed form, stored

digitally, per mouse click or in personal meetings,

buyers, designers and control

specialists find individual support

in every form.

dialogue. Reliability in design thanks to fast information. It’s a good feeling to be able to put your

trust in a reliable partner. In talking to Festo you find someone who listens and finds competent answers

unceremoniously. People, products and ideas brought together to create an individual solution.

For Festo this means more than 170 trade fairs each year, international information days,

lectures. Beyond that, 12 Expotainers transport Festo straight to the customer’s doorstep

all around the world.

Therefore 55,000 visitors each year are introduced to new solutions.

voices. Experience the world almost weightless from a different

perspective. Sense the fascination of the elements fire,

earth, air. Symbolic of our appearances in public are

certainly our high-profile, attention-grabbing ballooning events around

the globe. These fascinate thousands of people, showing in a unique

way how hot air can turn gravity on its head.

future. Dynamic markets, growing pressure on innovation and global competition will characterize the technology

markets of the future. So besides personal contacts, virtual communications, multimedia tools and the use of the Internet

as an information platform will increasingly feature as crucial elements of comprehensive customer care. E-commerce,

intranet and digital logistics concepts will in turn shorten the distances travelled by information and goods. In this way

Festo will increasingly integrate with its customers and suppliers to form a stable and efficient digital network.

visions. For Festo, moving objects with air means more than just automation, pneumatics

and electronics. It means travelling with air. Building with air. Movement with air.

The scope for future development is wide.

Just the integration of innovative miniature and microsystem technologies in new products and systems will add

a multitude of new applications to the spectrum of Festo’s present work. Examples such as these emphasize the

diverse range of options for using the element air. Now and in the future.
