Under its global umbrella brand, Phoenix Contact offers products, solutions, and digital expertise for the electrification, networking, and automation of industries and infrastructure. The family-owned company supports the transition to a sustainable economy and has structured its core business into three segments. Beyond this, it is also tapping into new opportunities in digitalization, electrification, and mobility.

In 2024, Phoenix Contact employed around 21,000 people worldwide and achieved sales of €3.0 billion. The company operates a production network across 11 countries with varying levels of vertical integration, and more than 50 sales subsidiaries ensure close proximity to markets and customers.

Together with customers and partners, Phoenix Contact develops solutions for areas such as transportation infrastructure, e-mobility, renewable energy, water supply, and energy-efficient manufacturing. These include integrated concepts combining engineering, technology, and services.

A central innovation is PLCnext Technology, Phoenix Contact’s open ecosystem for industrial automation. It brings together hardware, modular engineering software, cloud integration, and a digital software marketplace. The system supports standard PLC programming (IEC 61131-3) as well as parallel use of languages such as C/C++, C#, and MATLAB® Simulink® in real time.

The PLCnext Store provides apps, software modules, runtime systems, and function extensions that reduce time and costs in application development. Combined with the contributions of the global PLCnext Community, this creates a flexible and future-oriented platform for modern automation challenges.
