Areas of activity
Four strategic areas of activity, spearheaded by six product lines, have developed from expertise in electrical connection engineering combined with continuous dialog with users all over the world:

• Connection Technology


• Automation


• INTERFACE Technology


• Overvoltage Protection

The extensive product range has more than 20,000 items and covers a broad range of electrical engineering fields.

Continued investment in innovative products, in the expansion of our global marketing network, and in logistics, has resulted in PHOENIX CONTACT being a market leader with all its product lines. In particular, we see in the changes currently taking place in automation technology great potential to expand the continuing growth of the company.

To ensure innovation on a long-term basis, we employ about 500 people in marketing and development. The traditional proportion of cost of 8 - 10% from R&D is a continued company objective. The total amount of investment at the Blomberg headquarters of approximately 60 million DM in 2000 is essentially for an improvement in logistics and the expansion of available services.
