The SAUTER company history

In 1910 Fritz Sauter (1877–1949) founds the company as a manufacturer of electrical

timers in Grindelwald, Switzerland. The design and precision of his devices quickly
attract the attention of experts. During World War I, Fritz Sauter develops the first
electrical boiler and incorporates a department for thermal devices into the company.
The demands for Fritz Sauter’s products grows so quickly that he moves the
company’s headquarters to Basel, and in the early 1920s he takes his first steps to
expand into France, Germany and Sweden.

From 1935 SAUTER produces its first devices for controlling heating and air-
conditioning, thus laying the foundation for today’s core business. In 1941 the
successful equitherm product is launched, a heating controller that ensures constant
room temperatures. After World War II, SAUTER continues to expand; in 1948 in
Saint-Louis (France), just over the border, another factory is founded for thermostats
and controlling devices in the heating and air-conditioning sector.

From the 1950s, SAUTER integrates the first electronic components into the
products, gathering the know-how in this sector that will lead to future success. The
product range comprises devices for controlling temperature, humidity and pressure.
In the 1950s, cities like Vienna and Stuttgart rely on SAUTER products to control the
street lighting.

1961 sees the launch of the flexotron product series, with which SAUTER takes
advantage of the new possibilities presented by electronics in ventilation and air-
conditioning systems. From the end of the 1960s, SAUTER develops complex
regulating and controlling functions for large buildings such as airports, hospitals and
other major developments. From 1970, the entry into the system sector is followed by
another burst of expansion, with the foundation of subsidiaries in many European
countries.

As early as 1974, SAUTER presents its first software-controlled building

management system for the central operation of larger installations. With the
memotime electronic timer, SAUTER launches its first device with a microprocessor
in 1981. In 1983 SAUTER launches a new building management system based on 4-
bit architecture. As the end of the 1980s, SAUTER develops its own software-
supported engineering tool, with which the national sales organisations can carry out
projects autonomously.

From 1991, the opening of the Eastern Bloc enables SAUTER to win new markets in
Eastern Europe. 1997 sees the first internet-based automation solution that enables
the system to be controlled using any web browser. In 2000 activities in the service
area are expanded – Facility Management becomes a part of the core business. In
2002 SAUTER starts integrating the standardised BACnet communication protocol
into the products; this is an industrial standard that enables communication between
 COMPANY PROFILE 2022

devices from different manufacturers. From 2004, SAUTER expands into the Middle
and Far East through various joint ventures.

Now SAUTER concentrates fully on energy-efficient solutions that help reduce

CO2 emissions. The company incorporates alternative energy sources into its
concepts and establishes itself as a specialist for Green Building. With the launch of
the ECO10 programme in 2009, SAUTER shows how energy consumption is
reduced in buildings and the environment protected. This development is reflected in
the product portfolio, e.g. in the SAUTER EY-modulo 5 automation system. This
enables a significant reduction in the energy costs in buildings and in the
CO2 emissions. With the SAUTER Energy Management Solution (EMS) launched
in 2009, consumption values can be assigned to individual energy sources. Thus the
software enables energy consumption to be controlled and optimised.

In 2010 the company celebrates 100 years in business. In the same year, SAUTER
EMS is marketed as a cloud solution. In 2012 the SAUTER Vision Center is
launched, a new class of building management software with modular, scalable
visualisation and management levels.

Today, the name SAUTER stands for considering a building from all angles – from
planning through implementation, right up to operation. Across the entire building life-
cycle, SAUTER guarantees the highest level of expertise in regulating, controlling
and building management systems for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning.
SAUTER has a wide range of products, which the company enhances with tailor-
made services. This holistic approach is also applied for SAUTER facility
management, which ensures cost- and energy-efficient building maintenance.

Building automation from SAUTER

Buildings provide space to work, live, learn, produce, sell, have fun, etc. Depending on the
building’s use, the users have different requirements for heating, cooling, air conditioning and
lighting. SAUTER’s intelligent building automation ensures an optimum indoor climate
depending on the respective use. A comfortable building climate positively affects the well -
being and productivity of users.
SAUTER building automation links the existing systems and optimizes their interaction for maximum energy efficiency.
It automatically determines (for example, using presence detectors and sensors) the actual requirement for heating,
cooling, fresh air, light and shade in the rooms and provides the energy in the right amount, at the right time, and in the
right location. This type of needs-based building automation system prevents energy waste and results in a noticeable and
worthwhile reduction in operating costs with swift repayment.

Heating, ventilation, air-conditioning

Building automation is the brain of a building. Accordingly, the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems act as
the heart of the building. They provide energy depending on the needs and the desired room conditions. This energy is
 COMPANY PROFILE 2022

distributed by means of the heat transfer media of air and water. In this context, the HVAC controllers from SAUTER are
the intelligence of the installation technology and look after the energy-efficient operation of the installations.

We achieve maximum comfort with minimum energy consumption thanks to demand-led operation. Communicative
room automation via the standard communication protocol BACnet ensures this. This way, the operating costs are
reduced – which, in turn, is essential for good marks in the Green Building certification process.

Room climate, lighting, shading

With its flexible options, SAUTER room automation creates ideal conditions for any room. Whether in anoffice building,
at a hotel, a hospital, shopping centre, school or museum – SAUTER offers individual room automation solutions tailored
to best suit the requirements of every customer and every building project. The result is a holistic, made-to-measure
solution for integrating room climate, lighting and sunshading functions. Room automation and the system and building
management processes come together seamlessly. This way, the improved energy efficiency of buildings set out by
standard EN 15232 reduces operating costs while maintaining the highest levels of comfort and productivity in a room.

Solutions for life sciences

In the life sciences sector, SAUTER provides solutions for buildings in the pharmaceutical industry, in universities,
research institutes and other facilities. As your specialist partner, we control and monitor your critical environments such
as clean rooms, laboratories and fume cupboards.

Technical building management
