Global Production Network
Our goal as a global automation partner is to serve 70% of continental demand in Europe, Asia and America with locally produced products. This allows us to meet specific customer requirements at any time while still guaranteeing short delivery times. Feedback from the individual markets can be directly incorporated in product adaptations. The short transport routes also reduce the carbon footprint of our products and minimize any dependence on global logistics bottlenecks. Our global production network currently consists of six production sites in Halver (DE), Beierfeld (DE), Lublin (PL), Saltillo (MX), Minneapolis (US) and Tianjin (CN).
Responsibility rooted in Turck's history and culture
The company founders Werner and Hans Turck as well as Hermann Hermes laid the foundation for Turck's respectful corporate culture. In addition to economic success, these values have always included responsibility toward our employees and society.
The place where people team up to shape an entire industry
Whether it is the new production line of an automotive manufacturer, a high-tech fermenter for the pharmaceuticals industry or a reach stacker for an international mega-port, Turck technology supports customers as they make the transition to Industry 4.0. For our employees, this means that user needs come first.
How do we ensure that companies can easily choose the right product? What does Turck offer to guarantee a fast service, and where does a partner company come into play? We find the answers to these questions through regular discussions with our customers, as well as a good understanding of the market and collaboration across all departments.
More than 5,000 employees
New markets, a wide range of skills and ongoing internationalization mean that the Turck employee base has more than doubled in the past ten years alone.
More than 30 subsidiaries
Represented on all continents by over 30 subsidiaries and with sales partners in a further 60 countries, we are always close to our customers worldwide.

Sustainability
Corporate responsibility arises from the consequences that our actions have on the economy, employees, society and the environment.
Employee Responsibility
From the very beginning, Turck has been characterized by the way it values all its employees — regardless of their position, gender, religion, nationality, ethnicity or age. As part of a large-scale process, we defined seven company values that serve as a guideline for all employees and our HR processes: Respect, customer centricity, courage, team spirit, trust, honesty and reliability. Several awards as a top employer in various rankings demonstrate how committed we are to holding onto these values.
Corporate Responsibility
Long before the term compliance stood for correct business conduct, Turck cultivated a culture of honesty and trusting cooperation. This attitude is bindingly documented in our compliance guidelines. Our business activities are characterized by the spirit of fairness - towards customers, suppliers, partners and last but not least towards our competitors - while striving for the best solution in each case. The signing of the ZVEI Code of Conduct is proof of this attitude.
Social Responsibility
For Turck, social responsibility means commitment to local projects and initiatives - often with a charitable purpose. Examples of this can be found at Turck locations all over the world: For example, we support schoolchildren, students, athletes and charitable initiatives around the globe. Each measure on its own may only be a small contribution to social coexistence. All measures together stand for our attitude that economic success and social prosperity can only succeed together.
Ecological Responsibility
Climate change is the central global challenge of our time. Since the transformation of the economy is elementary for a timely containment of global warming, we have set ourselves the goal of achieving climate neutrality for the Turck Group in the first third of this century (regarding emissions Scope 1 and Scope 2). The use of green electricity at all German sites, the establishment of an energy management system according to DIN EN ISO 50001 in Beierfeld and Halver or the certified environmental management system according to ISO 14001 at the Halver site are the first steps on this path. Our global production footprint reduces the transport distances of products and thus also their C02 footprint. Apart from emissions, we are also constantly reducing the negative impact of our business activities on the environment.
