EDITORIAL
Skilled hands
Stephan Frigge, General Manager
Phoenix Contact Deutschland GmbH
Dear readers,
Summer 2020 has arrived, and this issue of our customer magazine is
dedicated to a subject that at first glance may seem surprising. After all,
we are predominantly perceived as being a partner of industry.
But our entrepreneurial roots are not only in products for skilled
control cabinet manufacturing and in connection technology for
electricians. As always, skilled hands continue to enjoy great importance
in our product portfolio. And of course the skill of the craftsman is there
to be seen on our own company premises. Curious? Then enjoy reading
about the following subjects:
The evolutionary history of our E-Mobility subsidiary is not a long
one, but as you will find out starting on page 10, the rise of this high-end
manufactory has been breathtaking. The development of Smart Homes
will also leave you breathless. Smart craftspeople are profiting from this.
And they rely on products from our company – read more starting on
page 16.
Crazy images, crazy workplaces – industrial climbers are colorful
characters. You can see and read what they have to do with Phoenix
Contact starting on page 20. And a visit to our ultra-modern Training
Center in Schieder shows just how committed our company is to training.
Moreover, since the beginning of the year, Phoenix Contact has
been supporting the Elektro+ initiative, in which building owners,
modernizers, and specialized tradespeople, architects, and planners are
made aware of the advantages of a modern, safe, and future-oriented
electrical installation.
So, as you can see, this issue’s topic, craft, is not all that surprising.
Happy reading,
