Hilscher Sets New Strategic Priorities in Industrial IoT

Hattersheim, 8 July 2026 – Hilscher has decided to conclude its collaboration with the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance as part of a strategic realignment of its partnerships in the Industrial IoT sector. After many successful years as a founding member, collaborator, and active contributor to the consortium, Hilscher has carefully decided to set new strategic priorities.

In the dynamic Industrial IoT environment, it is essential to work with the right partners in high-performance ecosystems in order to provide customers with the best possible solutions and sustainable added value. As part of this strategic realignment, Hilscher will focus its resources more specifically on other partnerships and strategic initiatives going forward, with the aim of consistently advancing the company’s development and technologies in the market.

It is important to emphasize that this decision is expressly not based on conflicts or differences. The collaboration with the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance was constructive, professional, and valuable at all times. This step is solely the result of strategic prioritization and a focused allocation of available resources.

Hilscher thanks the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance for the trusted collaboration and wishes the initiative and all those involved continued success and successful further development in the future.
