sensors Business group –<br />
heraeus Electro-Nite<br />
The sensors business group (Heraeus Electro-Nite) is the world market leader in sensor<br />
<strong>and</strong> measurement systems for the steel, aluminum <strong>and</strong> foundry industries. As a recognized<br />
specialist in measurements for molten iron, steel <strong>and</strong> aluminum, the company<br />
produces <strong>and</strong> markets high-quality sensors from global manufacturing <strong>and</strong> sales facilities<br />
on every continent. In close cooperation with its customers, Heraeus Electro-Nite<br />
develops product solutions that contribute significantly to greater efficiency <strong>and</strong> higher<br />
quality in production processes, as well as improving working conditions <strong>and</strong> protecting<br />
the environment.<br />
Worldwide steel production, the most important driving factor for the sensors business<br />
group, was subject to an appreciable slump after two years of considerable growth.<br />
According to information from the World Steel Association, growth totaled just 1.2 %.<br />
Despite low growth in steel, the sensors business group increased its revenue to<br />
€ 417.5 million, a 2.3 % hike on the previous year, as a result of favorable exchange rate<br />
effects <strong>and</strong> initial revenues from the acquisition of the Midwest Instrument Company<br />
made in <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
