Turck

The Turck Group is an international supplier of automation technology for factory, process, and logistics automation based in the German towns Mülheim and Halver.

== History == In 1960, Hans Turck laid one of the foundations for the current group of companies by establishing his own engineering office in Mülheim. In 1965, Turck received an order from a German chemical plant to develop an amplifier module. The first 20 of these devices were produced by his brother, Werner Turck, in his flat in Halver. The two brothers then founded the company Turck Elektronik Feinbau, initially developing inductive and capacitive proximity switches. Shortly after, Hermann Hermes joined the company as a partner.
