PSL Systemtechnik was founded in 1999 in Clausthal-Zellerfeld. Until 2015, the university town of 15,000 inhabitants in the Oberharz region gave us the space to develop and grow. 

Clausthal has a long mining tradition. As early as 1775 the Mining Academy was founded here, which later became the Technical University of Clausthal. A long series of technical innovations was developed in Clausthal. One of the most important is the wire rope from 1834, which has become indispensable in the oil industry.

The renowned and in Germany only institute for petroleum research had its place in Clausthal. Today, the Institute for Petroleum and Natural Gas Technology continues Clausthal’s traditional connection to the petroleum industry into the future.

Due to the proximity and the technical know-how of the Technical University, Clausthal became a city of ‘hidden champions’ and several small and medium-sized companies, which are market leaders in their field, are among the resident companies.
