On February 1, 1953, Georg Endress and Ludwig Hauser co-founded L. Hauser KG. By 1957, it was renamed Endress and Hauser. The company started its activities with the sale of an electronic capacitive level sensor imported from England. Today it would probably be called a "garage business" even though the first company premises was a converted bedroom.
The level sensor soon became a success, and the founders quickly began building up their own production facilities.
