After extensive market and competitor research, US consulting

its customers better than any other provider in the area of liquid
analysis.The global Company of theYear Award for water analysis
instrumentation is based on an independent study. Analysts took
into account each company’s visionary innovation and performance
as well as customer impact.
“A robust product portfolio, coupled with strong acumen for in-
novation and focused customer centricity, has been instrumental
in strongly positioning Endress+Hauser amidst competition in the
global water analysis instrumentation market,” said Frost & Sul-
livan Industry Analyst Krishnan Ramanath. With 9,25 points out
of a possible 10, Endress+Hauser clearly sets itself apart from the
competition, which scored 8,5 and 7,5 points.
“Endress+Hauser offers a comprehensive product range to cover

and analysers from the Liquiline family, in addition to Memos-
ens sensors, form the foundation of a universal liquid analysis
platform that is suitable for many industries and applications,
from simple pHmeasurement points to wet-chemical analysers
for demanding measurement tasks.
“This award confirms that we have revolutionised liquid analysis
with our products,” said Dr. Manfred Jagiella, Managing Director
of liquid analysis specialist Endress+Hauser Conducta based in

acteristics and product quality in real-time while the process is
