The innovative family business was founded in 1983 by Dieter Baur in Tettnang on Lake Constance in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Under the leadership of his sons, Fabian and Rafael Baur, wenglor sensoric group has grown into a global player in the fields of sensors and machine vision and has become an indispensable part of the world of automation.
