Initially the team had put a lot of hard work to establish brand Phoenix Contact. After a slow beginning the turnover took off from the year 2006 and there was no looking back. We continuously invested in machinery, manpower and infrastructure. Today, approximately directly and indirectly 1,200 people work for Phoenix Contact.

From the day one ‘Make in India’ was our strategic direction to ensure that high quality Phoenix Contact products are available to Indian customers.”

Even at this size Phoenix Contact still retains its status of family-owned and financially independent company. Today, Phoenix Contact is truly global company, having subsidiary in 55 countries. Our guiding principle is ‘Think Global, Act Local’.”

By achieving continuous double-digit growth for five years starting from 2013 India has set the record within Phoenix Contact World. We are committed to invest even more in Indian company not only for Indian market but also for global requirement.
