SAMSON was founded in 1907 after Sandvoss invented a regulator that can function without an external power supply. The device automatically controls processes by utilizing differences in pressure.[2] By 1916, its main manufacturing facility and headquarters were relocated to Frankfurt's River Main.[3]
Aside from regulators, SAMSON AG develops measurement and control technologies such as control valves, and electro-pneumatic transducers, control valves for HVAC systems - controllers and sensors for HVAC systems. The control valves have modular designs, giving it flexibility in terms of usage in engineering and building automation processes.[3] The range of products in these areas cover chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, power, HVAC and food and beverage industries. In 2002, the sales of its products reached $317 million.[3]
Today, SAMSON operates in over 40 countries with more than 4,500 employees and more than 50 subsidiaries, more than 200 engineering and service centers worldwide.[citation needed]
