Our strength? Customized solutions
Automated safety does not come about through simple ordering and delivery. It arises where precision, experience and technical excellence come together. That is why we develop every solution ourselves – tailored precisely to your product and adapted to all requirements.
Every product is developed entirely in-house: from the initial idea to design and prototyping to intensive testing in our own ASO Test Center.
Only when a solution has passed our rigorous tests does it go into local production – for maximum safety, the highest quality and long-term reliability.




Over 40 years of experience – our success story
Since its foundation in 1984, ASO has developed from a craft business into a global market leader. Today, we set global standards in safety sensor technology with innovation, quality and customer proximity – while remaining a family-run company.
Sustainability
Our responsibility for the future!
