10 % increase in sales in 2022
With annual sales of over 70 million euros, Bernstein 2022 achieved an increase of over 10% compared to the previous year. The family-owned company achieved its targets despite persistently high raw material and energy prices as well as supply bottlenecks.
"The tense situation on the procurement markets was particularly challenging last year," confirms Achim Bernstein, member of the Bernstein Executive Board. The company employs around 600 people in ten countries and, as an internationally active family business, is now in its third generation of management by siblings Achim and Nicole Bernstein. As a provider of industrial safety and enclosure technology, Bernstein combines these competencies in the 'Detect' and 'Protect' divisions. The product portfolio ranges from switches, sensors and enclosures, support systems and operating terminals to system solutions for operating and safeguarding entire machines and systems.
"In addition to various replacement investments, various new investments are also planned by the end of 2023 that will create additional capacity for our production," says Achim Bernstein - for example, two robots for powder coating. The most extensive investment this year is a fully automated system for assembling industrial safety switches, which is expected to be added to production by the end of 2023.
