HISTORY<br />
8<br />
Many organizations operate globally today, as a result of recent macro-economic trends. But<br />
at <strong>Sauer</strong>-<strong>Danfoss</strong>, our worldwide operations have always been part of who we are.<br />
Today’s <strong>Sauer</strong>-<strong>Danfoss</strong> is the result of three pioneering companies -- Sundstrand in the U.S.,<br />
<strong>Sauer</strong>-Getriebe in Germany, and <strong>Danfoss</strong> Fluid Power in Denmark. Over the years, <strong>Sauer</strong>-<br />
Sundstrand formed a joint venture, and in 2000 merged with <strong>Danfoss</strong> Fluid Power to become<br />
today’s <strong>Sauer</strong>-<strong>Danfoss</strong>.<br />

FROM THE START<br />
Through our history, we’ve developed a groundbreaking product legacy, originating the<br />
hydrostatic transmission, as well as creating orbital motors and steering units. We were<br />
also the first to introduce load-sensing proportional valves, and the first to control them<br />
electronically. Today, seamless integration of electronics and hydraulics is key to our business.<br />
MACHINERY POPULATION<br />
The continuing urbanization of our world’s population<br />
drives the need for increasing numbers of bigger, stronger,<br />
and more efficient mobile machinery.
