Who we are

Innovation Born out of Tradition

Innovation. Quality. Design. That's what the name Schlegel stands for. Founded in 1945, we are now a globally operating company with headquarters in Germany, sales offices in Austria and Singapore and representatives in more than 80 countries on all five continents. Our core competences: Development and production of control units, pilot lights and terminal blocks. Our product portfolio further includes membrane and short-stroke pushbuttons, enclosures, limit switches, control panels and function modules. Our customers particularly appreciate our flexibility and our professional know-how in the development of customised solutions for individual applications.

Schlegel also stands for quality „made in Germany“. Following this principal, our products are made exclusively in Germany, from product development and toolmaking to production. We buy only our high-quality raw materials on the world market. The in-house production ensures the constant high-level quality of our products. Moreover, the high range of vertical in-house manufacture and our medium-sized structure allow flexible and quick response to individual needs of our customers and to changes of the increasingly globalised market.

Customer Focus

For product development, we focus on you as our customer. Our goal: Products that meet your requirements by 100 percent. For this reason, we have designed our product range as a modular system. The flexibility thus obtained guarantees a perfect solution for every task that you assign us. And if we don't get ahead with existing products, we let ourselves be inspired by your visions and, based on our many years expertise, we develop your individual solution in close cooperation with you.

From the Helmstand to the Fire Engine

Companies across numerous industries rely on the quality products made by Schlegel. Our solutions are used wherever a process shall be initiated at a push of a button: on instrument panels of lifts, ships or special vehicles; in machine tools and production equipment; in porter's control panels of swimming pools, department stores or administrative buildings or in switch cabinets of different kinds.

Our values

Corporate philosophy

As a modern, family owned business, GEORG SCHLEGEL GmbH & Co. KG creates innovative product solutions in the field of HMI communication. The satisfaction of our customers is our source of motivation. Thanks to 75 years of know how we are able to develop the best solutions for our customers and establish novelties in the market. It is our aim to improve ourselves every day with the help of effective management systems and excellent apprenticeships as well as advanced training for our employees. Our company has grown continuously during more than 75 years and has kept its independence throughout. This autonomy allows us to react fast and precisely to all requirements. SCHLEGEL produces exclusively in Germany and offers quality products with appealing design. At SCHLEGEL, this is inseparable from terms like innovation and user orientation. We value the proximity to the customer – by good service as well as geographical proximity: We continuously establish and extend our net of distributors.

Quality

Quality is the basis of our corporate success. Our goal is to only supply top quality products to our customers. We guarantee this with our certified quality management and improve our processes non-stop – true to our corporate motto: "Anyone who stops improving has stopped being good."

Focus on the customer

Our actions focus on our customers – their requirements, their wishes, but also their ideas. The proximity to the customer and personal contact with them is very important to us: We want to understand our customers in order provide them the best solution. Our goal: We don´t just want to fulfill the expectations of our customers, but want to surpass them.

Our employees

People make companies successful. Only motivated and professional employees make it possible that we are able to meet the high standards we have set for products and customer service. Key to GEORG SCHLEGEL´s success is the knowledge, the engagement and the high identification of our employees with our company. The great appreciation SCHLEGEL has for its employees is a fixed part of our corporate culture. There is a loyal and understanding relationship, we articulate ourselves clear and are transparent in our engagement with one another and offer our employees social benefits that are above average.

„Made in Germany“

Does everything labelled with "Made in Germany" really contain the same? In case of SCHLEGEL, the answer is a clear yes. For us, the label "Made in Germany" does not only refer to a country of origin, but is a value promise that we take seriously every single day.

Innovation incubator

The company GEORG SCHLEGEL GmbH & Co. KG is a company with tradition which also faces the new challenges of the future with pleasure. Innovative strength is part of the company's DNA. Right from the beginning inventiveness and the competence to find new ways for products could be felt inside our company. This "Swabian tinkering gene" proved itself persistent in the coming years and decades. The innovative strength is still thriving in the present and several patents for SCHLEGEL products are proof for this. Furthermore, we are very proud that we have won the "German Innovation Award" both in 2020 and 2021.

Oriented on design

„Nicely shaped & good“ – GEORG SCHLEGEL GmbH & Co. KG sticks to this demand on its products for many years. The name SCHLEGEL stands for quality and elegant products. 100 national and international design awards serve as an impressive proof for that.

Fairness

For us, fairness is not just a phrase, it is part of our corporate culture. We treat and expect fair dealings with customers, business partners and employees. An adequate treatment brings forth trust and stability. Thus, relations with customers and suppliers can grow effectively.

Variety

Variety is our strength! With more than 8000 products in our portfolio we can offer variants for all common connection technologies, mounting depths and labelling types. Combined with the flexibility of a medium-sized company this additionally allows us to create custom-fit solutions.

Production depth and suppliers

We reach the demand for quality we have committed ourselves to by our in-house product depth and by long-term partnerships with selected and capable suppliers. After supplying high-quality raw material from outside all production steps take place in our company. This makes us more independent from global supply chains and gives us the possibility to also react on short notice and be more flexible in our actions.

Responsibility and sustainability

We are responsible for the people in our area and for our environment. In the social field we support culture, education and sports mainly on the regional level.

The responsible use of natural resources is of high importance for GEORG SCHLEGEL for a long time already. We also contribute our part to the protection of the climate and environment by using renewable energies (biogas) and producing solar power.
