On October 24, 2016, Pepperl+Fuchs announced the takeover of ecom instruments GmbH, the world market leader for mobile industrial devices for hazardous areas. As an industry pioneer, ecom has developed explosion protection for mobile devices since 1986 and has demonstrated its technological expertise with numerous innovations. Thus, ecom is also the first manufacturer to introduce explosion-proof cell phones, 4G smartphones, and tablets onto the market.

ecom instruments is a pioneer and the world's leading manufacturer of mobile devices for use in potentially explosive areas in various sectors, including oil and gas, chemicals, petrochemicals, mining and pharmaceuticals. Explosion protection for everyday industrial use is mandatory in the above-mentioned sectors, as companies are facing high risks, insurance expenses and liability compensation
