Weishaupt Holding Gmbh

What Weishaupt Holding Gmbh does

Weishaupt Holding Gmbh (legal entity Max Weishaupt SE) is a family-owned German industrial manufacturer of heating technology founded in 1932 in Schwendi, Baden-Württemberg. The company designs, develops, and manufactures a comprehensive heating portfolio including industrial burners up to 17,000 kW, gas and oil condensing boilers, air-source and ground-source heat pumps (Evoblock, Biblock, Splitblock, Geoblock, Aeroblock), solar thermal systems, hot water preparation/storage, and building automation (Neuberger Gebäudeautomation). Technical differentiation rests on proprietary in-house components including burner motors, LowNOx combustion systems, condensing heat recovery, natural refrigerant R290 platforms (GWP 0.02), 100% hydrogen-ready boilers, and the WEM Portal for remote monitoring and control.

The business model is a B2B/indirect-channel hardware sales model complemented by recurring service revenue. Revenue streams include equipment sales (burners, boilers, heat pumps, solar, accessories), after-sales service and maintenance, and multi-year service contracts via the SAV (Service Après-Vente) department. Pricing is quote-based with no public disclosure; sales run through two complementary channels: a direct field sales force targeting industrial/commercial operators and large contractors, and a dense network of certified partner installers supported by 17 regional agencies across France plus international subsidiaries in Germany, Switzerland, and other markets. End customers span partner installers (primary business unit), industrial operators (primary business unit), tertiary/commercial building operators, and individual homeowners served via the installer channel.

The company operates approximately 4,400 employees worldwide across wholly-owned subsidiaries including Weishaupt France SAS (Colmar, €6M share capital), Pyropac AG (Sennwald, Switzerland), Neuberger Gebäudeautomation GmbH, and Baugrund Süd GmbH. Ownership remains with the founding Weishaupt family (Siegfried Weishaupt and Thomas Weishaupt are listed as content managers). Recent strategic activity has centered on regulatory-aligned product refreshes: R290 heat pumps, hydrogen-ready condensing boilers, and heat pumps for collective residential installations, alongside recognition via the German Design Award 2026 for the Aeroblock line.
