Success is a question of attitude
We of course offer extremely precise measuring devices and a unique service. But that's not all we work on every day. We want to make the world measurably easier. This requires attitude. It is the cornerstone of our identity. Only with attitude can shared success be created. Learn more about this.
Thinking about tomorrow today
We are proud to be here continuously for our customers and employees, while also looking beyond the end of our own nose. We see it as our responsibility to do our best for people and the environment every day. From thoughtful product development to efficient recycling and upcycling strategies.
We think global but act local
No matter where you are, we are there for you. Directly onsite with you. As a globally active company with numerous branches and an extensive dealer network, we can assure you that the distances between you and us are short, no matter which continent you are on. Find out where you can find us.
The Helmut Fischer Foundation
We believe that science, research, education and art, as the supporting pillars of society, should be accessible to all. This was also very important to the entrepreneur Helmut Fischer. Some 50 years after the company was founded, he transferred his shares in the company to the Helmut Fischer Foundation. In his spirit, we have also been supporting young scientists and artists who are not employed by us since 2003.
Innovative strength is in our blood
We take you further. With an impressive product portfolio, extensive service offerings, 21 subsidiaries worldwide, a large dealer network, and employees who are passionate about their jobs. We have always led the way with innovative strength. To date, nothing has changed in this respect, and nothing will change in the future. We are continuously developing new measuring devices, new technologies, new software and new applications for you. Everything to make you better. Today and tomorrow.
