SAMSON AG, founded in 1907 by Hermann Sandvoss, is a German corporation headquartered in Frankfurt. It develops systems and products that can control all types of fluid.^[1] Its product line includes valves, self-operating regulators, automation systems, sensors, thermostats, and digital devices, among others.^[1]

Background

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]}
