A trip down memory lane: Revisiting a conversation with Matthias Altendorf
In 2020, editor in chief Mike Bacidore spoke with Mattias Altendorf, then- CEO of Endress+Hauser Group. Much has changed since then. Since January of 2024, Altendorf has moved from the CEO role to become the president of the supervisory board for Endress+Hauser Group.
He also founded Bionic Leadership, which applies evolutionary principles to modern management, extending to evolutionary economics and economic bionics. His organization explores the fusion of nature-inspired strategies, technologies and effective leadership in shaping organizational excellence.
During this conversation, they discussed sustainability, sensors, cybersecurity, component interoperability and IT/OT convergence, as well as the impact of those topics on machine builders and system integrators. Altendorf’s insights still hold true in 2025, and his foresight on many topics was spot on.
