Pioneering technology, Swabian ingenuity and work ethic combined with strong roots and a cosmopolitan approach: Seeming opposites come together at erler, making this Swabian family business a strong partner for industry in the Neckar-Alb region.
Since our founding, we have been one of the technological pioneers, now also operating far beyond the Zollernalb district. Systems designed by us are in production nearly everywhere in Europe and the USA. Conversely, this international experience also benefits the numerous companies in the highly traditional Neckar-Alb industrial region. We thus make a valuable contribution to the prosperity of our home region.
With our extensive expertise, we offer flexible solutions for every requirement, and we plan and implement these with utmost precision. From generating the control software and planning the control equipment to control cabinet construction, including system cabling and commissioning, through to after-sales and customer service: erler gives you everything from a single source!
Management team members Jochen Erler (Automation & Robotics, Controlling, Purchasing, IT & ERP), Holger Erler (Process I&C, Human Resources, Buildings) and Michael Müller (Sales, Marketing, Mechanical) all have extensive experience and expertise in their respective areas. With their many years of experience in automation, they are committed to the continuous further development of our technologies and processes.
If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. Our networks and partnerships reflect our roots in the Neckar-Alb economic region as well as our connection with technological market leaders.
We can achieve more together. We are therefore just as reliant on corporate collaboration on a regional level as on continuous interaction with our suppliers. We have also developed our expertise in automation and robotics through actively cultivated interaction, and we are working together to advance the region through further interaction in regional networks.
Our partnerships with leading developers of robots and automation systems follow precisely the same principle: We provide experience from daily use and discussions with our customers. In return, our partners ensure we are always at the leading edge of technical development.
We are currently involved in the following networks and partnerships:
