Voith in Heidenheim
Headquarters of a global enterprise
Voith GmbH is firmly rooted here in Heidenheim on the eastern Swabian Alb. In 1825, Johann Matthäus Voith of Heidenheim started out by employing five workers when he took over his father's locksmith shop. Today, our company is a group with a global footprint.
Voith's Heidenheim location is the town’s largest employer. Flexible working hours, facilities such as our "Kindervilla" company kindergarten, the Silcherschule children's home, and our staff restaurant highlight the attractiveness of the Voith location, one which is steeped in tradition.
Voith GmbH has four Group Divisions that are all represented in Heidenheim: Voith Paper, Voith Turbo, Voith Hydro and Voith Digital Solutions. The group holding with its central functions is also located in Heidenheim.
