If you see the world as a sourcing opportunity
and a market, you need to put logistics at the
centre of your corporate strategy. Think of it as a
system of many small but vital steps in a process,
not least the precise measurement of volumes
and weights.

… Bigger, faster, further …

Upgrading is not optional

The division of labour across the global economy is causing flows
of goods around to world to become a flood. It also demands
much more than classical transportation and warehousing
businesses. Globalisation is only even thinkable with intelligent
logistics.

The Pesa vibrating wire technology is based on a sim-
ple, but brilliant principle. The tension of the vibrating
wire is affected by the mass applied to it, which alters
the resonant frequency of the wire. This change in the
resonant frequency is used to calculate the weight.

Pesa’s leading position did not come about by chance, but is the result of
decades of experience and innovative development in response to changing
market demands. High-quality products and customer-focused engineering
and service have made the established company a much sought-after part-
ner for industry and well-known logistics providers.

… creating the future together …

Tomorrow’s ideas today

Pesa was established in 1972 from a merger between several
weighing technology companies. Since 2007 the company has
been part of Bizerba Group – a global technology provider and
market leader in many fields offering professional system solu-
tions for weighing, information and food service technology.

Together, the two can implement entire concepts and technolo-
gies for conveying, storing, pick-and-packing, sorting and label-
ling as well as comprehensive control and software applications
in the logistics and intralogistics sectors. This is also a reflection
of Bizerba’s corporate philosophy:

always look at the big picture, create greater benefits
for customers with new ideas and rely on flexible, open
solutions.

Pesa sees consistent customer focus as a cycle of advisory work,
planning, installation and service. The highest quality compo-
nents, manufactured with care and precision, are used for Pesa
products. A working environment exists here and in the develop-
ment department, which enables the staff to deploy their special
qualifications and exceptional commitment to the full.
