Smartphones, Mars rover, microchips, or eye lasers: These and countless other ground-breaking innovations during the past 50 years would hardly have been realized without our solutions. Therefore, we look back with pride on the past half century, in which we, together with our customers and partners, have brought many innovations on the way and into the world.
During the course of these decades, PI has developed from a specialist for piezo technology to a multi-technology provider – with a technical portfolio that is second to none. Targeted acquisition and start-ups have enabled PI to build a global network of specialists and, with over 1,400 employees, serve customers worldwide. Recently, we opened a new production facility in China. And the best thing is: PI also relies on continuity and reliability despite all of the innovation: At the beginning of 2020, Dr. Karl Spanner handed over the management to his son and successor Markus Spanner as planned.

Both competences dovetail perfectly with PI’s corporate strategy, which includes building a worldwide network of design centers. In the medium term, P·G·W will be integrated into this network and serve as the design center for the Asian region.
