Endress+Hauser has acquired CodeWrights, a software company based in Karlsruhe, Germany.

 

The Swiss specialist in measurement and automation technology acquired the remaining 33 per cent of the shares from the sensors and electronics manufacturer Pepperl+Fuchs with effect from 1 July 2025.

 

Since 2002, Endress+Hauser held two-thirds of the shares, while Pepperl+Fuchs owned the remaining third.

 

CodeWrights was founded in 2002 as a joint venture between Endress+Hauser and Pepperl+Fuchs and employs nearly 50 people.

 

As a service provider, the company develops customised software solutions for providers of measurement and automation technology, for example apps and cloud applications, software for industrial automation and embedded software for devices.

 

This has contributed to CodeWrights’ profitable growth and its reputation as a trusted software partner.

 

“We are excited to assume full ownership of CodeWrights. At the same time, we would like to thank Pepperl+Fuchs for more than 20 years of constructive partnership,” says Dr Rolf Birkhofer, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Digital Solutions, the Group’s product center for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). “We believe strongly in the expertise of the team and the strength of the business model. Together, we look forward to driving further growth and success.”

 

“We look back on decades of successful collaboration built on mutual trust and respect, for which we would like to express our genuine appreciation. We are confident that, with Endress+Hauser as the sole owner, CodeWrights is ideally positioned to drive its strategic development and realise its full potential,” says Lutz Liebers, COO for Process Automation at Pepperl+Fuchs.

 

“By transferring the shares, we are creating a clearer ownership structure and strengthening our company’s strategic ability to act. This decision enables faster coordination and provides new impetus for our shared growth,” adds Thomas Debes, Managing Director CodeWrights.

 

He emphasises that the acquisition will have no impact on the service provider’s day-to-day operations.

 

He said:“CodeWrights will continue to serve all customers with the same commitment and maintain its established service portfolio. Employees at both CodeWrights and Endress+Hauser can expect continuity in their work and collaboration.” -OGN / TradeArabia News Service
