FUTURE IN MIND – SINCE 1895

Together with you, we are shaping the rail-bound mobility of tomorrow – with products and services for the joining of rails, modern construction of railway track, and inspection and maintenance of track infrastructure.

From the Original Thermit® welding portion to digital solutions for rail inspection – customers around the world rely on Goldschmidt’s comprehensive and advanced experience. We attach great importance to first-class and sustainable products and services – for modern railway tracks with a long service life.

In 1895, Hans Goldschmidt’s invention of the Thermit® welding process provided the basis for the continuously welded track and thus laid the foundations for modern rail transport. This innovative spirit and the ambition to make rail mobility ever better is what drives and guides Goldschmidt.
