1959: PIONEERS AND INNOVATORS
H. C. Sonderegger and W. P. Kistler had the vision to CHANGE THE WORLD. With their passion for technology and their curiosity of how to implement their brilliant idea "from crystal to sensor" they built the basis for Kistler Innovation. In 1961 they introduced the world's first quartz force sensor. The sensor business was extended with electronics.
2002: ROLF SONDEREGGER
took over the leadership of Kistler Group and made sure to continue the status of being the number ONE in measurement technology. We have been growing rapidly by INNOVATION and integration of new products. The product portfolio could be as well extended by 14 acquisitions within the last 20 years (+562 employees).
INNOVATORS THINK AHEAD
We align our product portfolio to the needs of our customers. We have expanded our product portfolio over the years: from sensors, to electronics, to systems, to solutions, to data. With the steady growth of employees and changing market needs, we have adapted our organization and business model three times. A reorganization requires a clear strategy. Our strategy is aligned with the mega trends of the ever-changing world, which have a significant impact on our future.
2003 (+600 employees): “Silent Revolution” by Rolf Sonderegger
2011 (+1000 employees): “Kistler Next” by the Executive Committee
2020 (+2000 employees): “KI1000” by all Kistler leaders
With globally more than 2'200 employees and different market needs, a common understanding of our strategy is key. As leaders we need to make sure that every single member of staff works towards the same goals and points their efforts in the same direction. Strategy help us define our business.
