PHOENIX-CONTACT is a first-time partner of the EUEW Convention. Congratulations, this year your company is celebrating 100 years of existence, which is an impressive achievement. What convinced PHOENIX-CONTACT to become a partner of the EUEW Business Convention?
At Phoenix Contact we believe in the power of partnerships to build a customer centric market approach. Partnerships that will shape our joint impact on the accelerating energy transition around the world.
The EUEW and especially the Business Convention are a prime choice to strengthen ties with Electrical Wholesalers. Together we will be able to shape a sustainable future in which societies will prosper in the century to come.
For 100 years Phoenix Contact has remained a family owned business, financially independent and yet growing strongly with total sales of 3.6 bn Euro in 2022. Becoming a partner of EUEW Business Convention allows us to express our appreciation to wholesalers across Europe who have played in integral part in achieving this milestone.
This year’s general convention theme is “Energize transition: a key role for the electrical wholesalers” focusing on translating the very important role of electrical wholesalers in the energy transition. How important is sustainability for PHOENIX-CONTACT? Does the accelerated energy transition have a major impact on the activity of PHOENIX-CONTACT?
Optimizing energy flows has been the core expertise of Phoenix Contact since it was founded in 1923. Innovative solutions for electrification, networking, and automation are our contribution to a sustainable and livable world in which renewable energy is available in sufficient quantities for everyone. With our products, solutions, and services, we are empowering customers and society to actively shape this transition toward a sustainable world, toward the All Electric Society.
The All Electric Society (AES) concept describes a future in which electrical energy generated from renewable sources is available worldwide as the primary type of energy in sufficient quantities and in an entirely economical way.
A great number of stakeholders including Electrical Wholesales in particular and ultimately, the entire global community will have to work together if the All Electric Society concept is to become reality. So that we can take meaningful advantage of the enormous opportunities for a sustainable and renewable development in the energy, infrastructure, building, mobility, and industry sectors together, Phoenix Contact would like to join you in taking new paths – toward sustainable and renewable development and toward a livable world.

What do you expect will be the main takeaways for PHOENIX-CONTACT with the participation in this year’s EUEW Business Convention?
We are looking for like minded partners that will make the All Electric Society a reality for all of us. Takeaways from the convention will be insights from a variety of EUEW members on their path and progress towards that goal. If you would like to learn more about the AES – approach us during the convention. We look forward to engage with wholesalers, national organizations and EUEW in Rotterdam.
