2 Many good reasons to get to know us better. Small- and medium-sized businesses continue to be the number one growth and innovation factor for our country. Family-owned businesses such as the Leuze Group, which through a great deal of dedication and entrepreneurial foresight has grown from a small, regional company to a globally-active technology group over the past century and a half, are the backbone of the economy. Free of the publicity constraints and interests of third parties to which publicly-traded companies are exposed, we are able to focus on successful and long-term development and the social responsibility towards our employees. These are ideal conditions for promoting a high level of motivation and innovation as well as sustainable, healthy growth. Get to know our group of companies, their products, their history and, not least of all, a few employees, and learn why with us the whole really is more than the sum of its parts. I hope you enjoy learning about us. Kind regards, Hans Peter Hehn Holding Director of the Leuze Group
