SAMSON AG, founded in 1907 is a German control valve manufacturing company headquartered in Frankfurt. It develops systems and products that can control all types of fluid.[1] Its product line includes valves, self-operating regulators, automation systems, sensors, thermostats, and digital devices, among others.[1]

History

[edit]

Samson AG initially gained recognition for inventing a self-operated thermostat valve that regulated temperature in grain silos without external power in 1907.[2] By 1916, Samson AG had relocated its main manufacturing facility and headquarters to Frankfurt’s River Main.[3] Over the years, the company expanded its product line to include control valves, self-operated regulators, actuators, and automation systems. Significant milestones include the introduction of the first pneumatic control valves in the 1950s, expansion into digital control systems in the 1980s, and the formation of a joint venture with Krohne Messtechnik in 2019.[4] The company has received numerous innovation awards, industry certifications like ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and recognition for sustainability initiatives.

Today, SAMSON operates in over 40 countries with more than 4,500 employees and more than 50 subsidiaries, more than 200 engineering and service centers worldwide.[citation needed]
