Innovation out of tradition
“The history of our company is characterised by innovations,” says Thomas Goes, Chairman of the Board of Theben AG. “Already in 1921, with the first mechanical staircase light timer switch, Paul Schwenk, our company founder, made sure that no one had to remember to switch off the light.” Numerous inventions, such as the wall socket timer, or the presence detector for energy-efficient and automated lighting and air conditioning control were following. “Currently, we are advancing the launch and subsequent rollout of our new CONEXA Smart Meter Gateway. Energy suppliers and municipal utilities are highly interested in our CONEXA,” says Thomas Goes and values the “Most innovative brand” award as an impressive proof for the “Theben brand to represent innovative solutions and customer focus even after almost 100 years.”
