Leuze electronic once again listed in the world market leader index

Leuze electronic was included in the world market leader index (WMF index) of the University of St. Gallen as the champion in the field of optical sensors for the first time in 2016. To qualify for the champions category, a company must have an annual turnover of more than €50 million and earnings through exports of at least 50%. Additional requirements are that the company must have its headquarters based in the DACH area (representing the regions and countries with German as their official language), must be active on at least three continents and must also be the market leader in its relevant segment. In total, 516 German world market leaders are listed in the WMF index. They employ around 6 million people worldwide and generate a turnover of 1.5 trillion euros. Leuze electronic with its headquarters in Owen/Teck is one of a total of 14 world market leaders in the Esslingen district. The WMF index is generated through objective research and transparently presents the world market leaders in the DACH area. The selection criteria and the values determined are disclosed and the entire index is made accessible to the public.

The creation and scientific direction of the project is in the hands of Prof. Dr. Christoph Müller of the HBM School of Entrepreneurs, which is part of the Executive School of Management, Technology & Law of the University of St. Gallen. Cooperation partners of the project include the Academy of German World Market Leaders and the weekly business news magazine "Wirtschaftswoche", who once again organized the annual summit conference of world market leaders which took place in Schwäbisch Hall at the beginning of February. In reply to the question as to how a company becomes a world market leader, Ulrich Balbach (managing director at Leuze electronic) explains: "The entire Leuze electronic company pursues a consistent focusing and differentiation policy – in other words, concentration and focusing on the industries intralogistics, packaging industry, machine tools, automotive industry and lab automation."
