Metalworking company
Endress+Hauser takes over important supplier
Endress+Hauser intends to take over the operations of the Swiss supplier Angenstein Estech, including its production plant in Cernay, France, Estech Industries Angenstein, succursale de Cernay. Representatives of both companies have signed a letter of intent to this effect. All jobs at the metalworking company are to be retained.
For over 25 years, Angenstein ESTECH AG and its French subsidiary have been the key supplier of measuring tubes for Endress+Hauser flowmeters. The Cernay plant already has around 50 employees. "The takeover of Angenstein ESTECH AG will enable us to retain the know-how of our employees and integrate important work steps even more deeply into our production processes," says Christophe Stoos, Managing Director of the Endress+Hauser Flow France plant in Cernay.
Sale part of the succession plan
The owner families Wiese and Helfenstein see the sale of Angenstein ESTECH AG as the ideal succession plan for their company. "For us, the preservation of jobs and securing the future of the company were paramount. The takeover by Endress+Hauser therefore represents the best possible solution in our eyes," says Martin Helfenstein, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Swiss company Angenstein ESTECH AG.
Based on the letter of intent, both parties now want to draw up and sign a purchase agreement by the end of September. The transfer of operations is to take effect on January 1, 2025. The main plant in Aesch, Switzerland, which also supplies the Endress+Hauser flowmeter plant in Reinach, is not affected by the takeover. It will remain part of the ESTECH Group as ESTECH Industries Angenstein AG.
Company campus in Cernay continues to grow
Endress+Hauser has been manufacturing flow measurement technology in Cernay for over 30 years. The site, which has been repeatedly expanded over the years, employs more than 500 people and primarily supplies the European market with electromagnetic flowmeters as well as ultrasonic and vortex meter instruments. In 2026, the French sales department, which is currently based in Huningue, will also move into a new building on the company campus in Cernay.
