In fall 2016 Voith sold its industrial services division to private equity firm Triton. Since then the service provider has been one of Triton's portfolio companies. Under the new owner, Leadec and Veltec are independent service companies capable of aligning themselves fully to the needs of the service sector and providing customized solutions.
To better accommodate the respective business models, a conscious decision was taken in favor of having two separate brands. Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of the Leadec Service Group: ‘There are significant differences between the core activities of our respective customers and also the services that we provide. By focusing systematically on particular industry segments we can fully exploit potentials, enhance our own success and provide our customers with even better support for their specific needs. We are very much looking forward to the exciting times ahead.'
The new brands were developed to reflect the company's DNA and took account of the aspirations and values that the company represents today and would like to reinforce in the future. The term Leadec derives from the words "lead" (leading edge, leadership) and "tec" (technology), while Veltec is a combination of the Latin term "veltrus" (fast running) and "tec".
Leadec intends to expand its global network in the future, operate even more flexibly and efficiently, and invest in further growth alongside Triton. As a mid-sized enterprise, Veltec aims to further develop existing markets in Europe, win new customers and strengthen existing customer relationships.
