Our global network of experts

A success story since 1895

In 1895, Hans Goldschmidt invented the Thermit® process, providing the basis for safe, comfortable and efficient railway mobility which up to the present day continues to define the international standard for the welding of rails. Accordingly, for the last 125 years the company has been defined by the innovative spirit of the inventor and a tireless pursuit to develop new technology and improve existing solutions.
