Who’s world market leader and who isn’t? This question is answered by the cross-industry world market leader index compiled by the University of St. Gallen. In the opinion of study leader Professor Christoph Müller, this includes globally active and successful companies with cutting edge technology, which are often family-managed. This is based on a database of over 1,000 entries of potential world market leaders from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The latest index was announced on November 7 in the German weekly business news magazine Wirtschaftswoche.

Leuze leads once again in the field of optical sensors
Leuze has been listed in the world market leader index (WMF index) of the Henri B. Meier School of Entrepreneurs at the University of St. Gallen and the Academy of German World Market Leaders (ADWM) since 2016. And in 2023, too, Leuze may continue to dub itself a world market leader in the field of optical sensors. This accolade is received only by international companies with the following commonalities: They represent leading, innovative technologies as well as outstanding product and service quality.

Growth means change
On the question of what makes a world market leader, Ulrich Balbach, CEO of the Leuze electronic group and Chairman of the Executive Board had the following to say: "Everything we do, we do with determination, curiosity and passion. This is what makes us – the Sensor People – who we are. This is how we ensure the success of our customers in an industry that is always changing. After all, your success is our motivation. That is why we keep developing innovations together with you and set new benchmarks on the market." The aptitude and belief in creating lasting transformation permeates all departments: Leuze’s technological leadership and constant growth form the basis for assuming responsibility for the environment and society. This is a matter of course for the Sensor People and a part of their identity.
