Protect humans

At Pilz, humans and their safety take centre stage. That’s our corporate responsibility.

All over the world, automation solutions from Pilz protect humans in mechanical engineering, intralogistics, railway technology or robotics from potential hazards that arise in the production process or in the production environment.

Employees

Our employees are our ambassadors for safety – and sustainability. With the passion and creativity of each and every one, our aim is to ensure that today’s world remains worth living in.

Cooperation at Pilz is built for the long-term. This is evidenced by the long length of service. Our company values, based on Christian roots, along with regard and respect for other cultures and world religions, encourage togetherness.

As a safe automation company, health and safety has the highest priority at Pilz: Pilz meets the requirements of the Health and Safety Management System in accordance with ISO 45001 and offers its employees occupational health management.

Ambassadors for safety

As an “Ambassador for safety”, for decades Pilz has been committed to creating machinery safety standards. More than 30 experts from Pilz are actively working worldwide on around 100 product and application standards in almost 80 standards committees.

We share our knowledge: we have been offering customers a comprehensive training programme since the 70s. That’s why we founded the Pilz Academy. The trainers are engineers or technicians with many years of experience in safe automation technology.

Our training offer

Training and further education

For more than 40 years we have been training at the headquarters in Ostfildern, covering a large part of our demand for skilled labour in the process - that way we grow sustainably. In addition to around 20 apprenticeships, the company also offers the same number of dual study places. That way we give young people the opportunity to start their professional life in an innovative company and to learn a profession with a promising future. 

Once new employees are on board, their continuing education is important to us at Pilz. So it’s not just customers, but also our own employees who receive regular training on relevant topics via the Pilz Academy.
