Puettmann Automation Technology

Industrial automation enables the efficient and safe operation of machines and systems. For over 90 years, Puettmann Automatisierungstechnik has been supporting industrial companies in applying these technologies effectively.

We are an engineering-based technical distributor with 30 employees – half of them engineers or technicians – serving more than 2,000 active customers, from machine builders and system integrators to iconic industrial manufacturers. Our portfolio covers over 1,000,000 products from more than 150 brands, including leading solutions in sensor, control, and safety technology.

With 100,000 items in our own warehouse and integrated logistics processes, we ensure fast deliveries. Our experienced field sales engineers provide on-site consultation, technical support, and solution development directly at the customer’s premises.

We combine deep technical know-how with fast, reliable service and high product availability. From independent advice and on-site engineering support to tailored logistics solutions, we help keep your production running smoothly — even in emergencies.

We are your expert partner for mechanical engineering, production, and control panel construction.
We support you in selecting the right products and sourcing spare parts – even for complex tenders. Our focus is on long-term, trust-based relationships with our customers.

Puettmann specializes in the distribution of technically demanding products.
Our team includes engineers with deep expertise in electrical automation technology. Thanks to regular training, they stay up to date and support you with:

• Technical consulting for the optimal use of electrical automation solutions

• Development of complete product packages (e.g. sensor with cable, reflector, mounting bracket, and control unit)

• Identification of alternative products through functionally compatible cross-references

We are your partner in MRO processes,
ensuring reliable operation and maintenance of your machines and equipment.

You are an OEM?
No problem – we are also specialized in supporting OEM projects. We also develop custom products as an engineering service for our clients.

Our key areas of expertise include:

• Non-contact measurement technology (e.g. inductive, capacitive, magnetic, optical sensors)

• Safety technology in compliance with machinery directives

• Control systems including wiring and machine control

• Contact measurement (e.g. torque measurement)

• Camera systems and vision sensors

• Collaborative robotics

• Code reading

• Control panel construction

Our customers include end customers from various industries, large and small machine manufacturers, system integrators, control cabinet manufacturers -- up to stock listed (DAX) companies.

Our focus sectors include, among others:

• Chemicals / pharmaceuticals
• Food and beverage industry, as well as bottlers
• Steel and basic materials
• Packaging machine manufacturers
• Consumer goods manufacturers such as cosmetics or personal electronics
• Power generators and suppliers
• Electronics and circuit board assemblers
• Logistics, packing centers, intralogistics

Our customers value our support throughout the machinery lifecycle: from design, operation, maintenance and to repairs. We enable our customers to consolidate suppliers to simplify their processes. We supply both our customers' direct needs for initial planned installations and indirect needs, such as spareparts.

In addition, we increasingly supply components for data centers and AI infrastructure projects.These include high-efficiency power supplies, monitoring sensors and control systems used in critical automation and energy management applications.

With our One Source procurement approach, we serve our customers quickly and effectively. We organize the complete procurement of electrical automation components for many machine builders and plant operators. This simplifies our customers' purchasing and leads to better conditions for them overall. Instead of long supply chains and countless supply partners, you receive everything from a single source and work with us as an efficient, reliable business partner. We keep delivery costs low through regular consolidated deliveries. For industrial end customers, we also organize spare parts in small quantities with a focus on fast delivery times.

For example: you ask us for articles from Siemens, ifm, Keyence and Wenglor and we combine everything in one order for you. Stock items are dispatched immediately, products that are not in stock are ordered immediately and we recommend you alternatives or successors if needed. If you have any questions or problems, you can reach us immediately by phone or e-mail. This makes it easy for you to see whether your project can be realized and to keep an overview.

This allows our customers to consolidate their suppliers, which streamslines their processes:

• Fewer invoices, inquiries and order confirmations
• Personal contacts for all topics
• On-site technical advice

In addition, we can keep delivery costs low through regular collective deliveries. In order to offer our customers the best prices and delivery times, we work closely with our manufacturing partners.
