35 Years of PIC – SWITCHING THE SMART WAY

This fall sees PIC Proximity Instrumentation Controls Kontaktbauelemente GmbH celebrate its 35th anniversary.

The company, which was founded in October 1976, began as a distributor of Reed Switches from various well known manufacturers.

Meanwhile, in the mid-1990s, PIC established a test lab and a R&D-Team. These actions lead to the development of a product line incorporating PIC’s own standard Reed Sensors and the possibility of providing the specific processing of Reed Switches – PIC became a “Full-Service-Provider” in Reed Technology.

Today’s product line includes Reed Switches, SMD Reed Switches, Reed Sensors, Level Sensors, Magnets and individual customized sensing solutions. Amongst our customers are many well-known manufacturers from the Home Appliance, Automotive, Medical Technology and Measurement-and-Control industries.

The PIC Group members are: the headquarters in Wendelstein (close to Nürnberg in Germany), sales offices in Europe and Asia and a 100% owned DIN ISO 9001/2008 certified factory in China since 2003. The factory covers a total area of more than 4200m² and has a capacity of approximately 20 million Reed Sensors per year.

With more than 300 employees throughout the world the PIC Group achieved a turnover of more than USD 15 million in 2010 and is expecting a further 20% increase on this figure for 2011. Continued investments in the automation of production processes and quality processes are the basis for ongoing growth in the future.

“We want to sincerely thank all of our customers, suppliers and partners for their cooperation and trust and we are looking forward to creating a successful future together!” stated Georg Greppmair, the Managing Director, on the occasion of the anniversary.

PIC Proximity Instrumentation Controls Kontaktbauelemente GmbH is a globally operating medium-sized company based in the Nuremberg area.

With our own production facility in China and our sales offices in Asia and Europe we are able to ensure the highest production quality, close relationships with our customers and the possibility to develop specific solutions very quickly and efficiently.

We have been one of the leading suppliers for Reed Sensor Technology for several years. High technical competencies, our long time experience and the ability to innovatively implement our customers needs make us the ideal partner for the home appliances, automotive, medical and measue-and-control industry.
