Thank you for 35 years of innovation – time to celebrate!
We kicked off a very special year with a special anniversary event: 35 years of XENON - that doesn't just mean three and a half decades of automation excellence, but also 35 years of courage, enthusiasm for technology and stable growth.
Since our foundation in 1990, XENON has developed from a small team with a grand vision into an internationally active automation partner. Today, over 450 employees in Europe, Asia and North America design pioneering solutions for key industries such as mobility, electronics, medical technology and renewable energies.
This success story was only possible thanks to the people who have shaped XENON: our dedicated teams, our long-standing partners and our loyal customers. Our grateful thanks go to all of them - for their trust, openness and the many steps we have taken together over the past 35 years.
This anniversary is an occasion for us to look back with pride - and at the same time to look forward with fresh ambition. We look forward to the next chapters of this journey - and to continuing to shape it together with you in the future.
