For more than 120 years, HEIDENHAIN has been deeply involved in all significant developments in measurement technology for manufacturing. Over 40 years ago, the HEIDENHAIN group of companies was brought into a philanthropic foundation with the following goals:
- To ensure the company's long-term financial independence
- To make future perspectives possible for the employees and their families
- To provide sustainable financing for social and scientific projects
For many years, the company has reinvested large portions if its earnings into
- research and development,
- unique manufacturing processes,
- the expansion of capacity, particularly at home, and
- the initial and continued training of our employees.
Through the long-term pursuit of our goals, the company has
earned a leading market position in measuring, control and drive technology for machine tools as well as in production facilities for the semiconductor and electronics industry.
Many innovations, whether they lie in the area of automotive technology, of the latest computers or smartphones or in many other areas, have been made possible only by our underlying developments.
We offer our employees exceptional opportunities for self-development and for shaping their working environments, but we also expect exceptional dedication and focus, not least because we share with them our financial success.
