Voith GmbH
Voith GmbH is an earlier name and legal form of a company that is registered today as Voith GmbH & Co. KGaA, a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien (partnership limited by shares) entered on the commercial register of the Amtsgericht Ulm under HRB 735450. Its registered seat (Sitz) is Heidenheim an der Brenz and its registered business address is St. Pöltener Straße 43, 89522 Heidenheim an der Brenz. When the register was consulted on 6 October 2026 the sheet HRB 735450 was open and current, carrying no note of dissolution, liquidation or deletion.
The number shown in this page’s registry field, HRB 725621 at the Amtsgericht Ulm, is a closed register sheet (geschlossenes Registerblatt). The chronological print of that sheet records the chain in full. The company was created on 1 October 2010 by a change of legal form under sections 190 et seq. of the German Transformation Act (UmwG) from the stock corporation “Voith AG”, Heidenheim an der Brenz (Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 661319), on the basis of articles of association dated 29 July 2010, and was registered as Voith GmbH under HRB 725621 with a share capital of EUR 120,000,000. A conversion resolution of 4 July 2017 resolved a further change of legal form into a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien under the name Voith GmbH & Co. KGaA; that resolution was entered on the GmbH sheet on 27 July 2017. The entity of the new legal form was registered on 1 August 2017 under HRB 735450, and on the same day the sheet HRB 725621 was closed. A change of legal form of this kind preserves the same legal person; it is not a liquidation, and the closing of the old sheet does not indicate that the business ceased.
The register records a share capital (Grundkapital) of EUR 120,000,000, divided under the 2017 conversion deed into 108,000,000 no-par ordinary shares and 12,000,000 no-par non-voting preference shares. All shares are no-par registered shares (auf den Namen lautende Stückaktien). The same deed records participation rights capital (Genussrechtskapital) of EUR 6,600,000 issued by the predecessor and continuing after the conversion. No securities exchange listing is recorded, and the conversion deed allocates the entire share capital to two holders, so the shares are not publicly traded.
The object of the company as registered on both sheets is the management of the Voith group, which is predominantly active in mechanical engineering, in particular through the exercise of rights arising from direct and indirect participations in German and foreign companies; the manufacture and sale of machines and apparatus of all kinds and related products; and the provision of services in connection with or independently of those activities.
According to the company’s own published description of its business, the group operates through three divisions: hydropower (complete plants, components and automation systems, together with spare parts, maintenance and training services), papermaking (equipment and services across the papermaking process), and drive technology (drive systems and components for industrial and mobility applications). The register itself records no operating sites, products or markets.
Reported operating scale is consolidated group data, not figures of this legal entity. Voith reports on a financial year ending 30 September, not 31 December. For the financial year 2024/25, ended 30 September 2025, the company reports consolidated orders received of EUR 5,447 million, consolidated sales of EUR 4,846 million, research and development spending of EUR 185 million (3.8 per cent of sales) and 20,751 employees measured as full-time equivalents excluding apprentices as at 30 September 2025. The comparative figures reported for the financial year 2023/24 are orders received of EUR 5,816 million, sales of EUR 4,684 million and 20,984 employees. The company states that these figures exclude the discontinued Commercial Vehicles operation and that the prior-year comparatives were adjusted accordingly. No separate revenue, headcount or balance-sheet figure for the registered legal entity on its own is reproduced here.
Material developments on record: on 1 November 2025 the carve-out of the Commercial Vehicles division from the Voith Turbo unit took effect, and the company states the division was established as a legally, operationally and organisationally independent company operating under the name Driventic, with around 1,400 employees at 26 sites in 18 countries. The company’s announcement does not state what ownership, if any, was retained, and no ownership position in that company is asserted here. On 9 December 2025 the company announced that it was examining its organisational structures and workforce globally.
On the registered date of incorporation: this page’s registry field carries 1 January 1867. That date is the date the company itself gives for the foundation of the firm J.M. Voith, when Johann Matthäus Voith handed the business to his son Friedrich, and it is a corporate-history date rather than a padded year. It is not the registration date of either legal entity described above. The registration date of the predecessor Voith GmbH was 1 October 2010 and that of the current Voith GmbH & Co. KGaA is 1 August 2017; no date in 1867 appears anywhere on either register sheet.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Voith GmbH
The company is unlisted and family-controlled, so there are no voting-rights notifications and no proxy statement. The ownership evidence below comes from the register’s document file. Because the sheet HRB 725621 is closed, its own document links are disabled, but the document file of the successor sheet HRB 735450 carries the documents taken over from HRB 725621 and from HRB 661319, and those filings are open.
The last shareholder list (Liste der Gesellschafter) filed for Voith GmbH was drawn up to 13 March 2013, certified by Dr. Christian Pohl, Notar in Ludwigshafen am Rhein under deed register number P 716 / 2013, and taken into the register folder on 4 April 2013. It records a share capital of EUR 120,000,000 divided into shares of EUR 1.00 each, held as follows following the merger of VSH Vermögensverwaltung GmbH into Sahara Vermögensverwaltung GmbH on 27 February 2013:
| Shareholder | Nominal amount held | Share of share capital |
|---|---|---|
| JMV GmbH & Co. KG, Heidenheim an der Brenz (Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 661118) | EUR 60,965,208 | 50.80% |
| Sahara Vermögensverwaltung GmbH, then Mannheim (Amtsgericht Mannheim HRB 8218) | EUR 59,034,792 | 49.20% |
The notarised minutes of the shareholders’ meeting of 4 July 2017 (Notariat Giengen/Brenz B1, deed roll II No. 730 / 2017), filed in the same document file, state in terms that JMV GmbH & Co. KG and Sahara Vermögensverwaltung GmbH were at that date the sole shareholders of Voith GmbH and that the share capital of EUR 120,000,000 was fully paid up. The same deed sets out how the holdings were converted into shares in the Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien with effect from registration on 1 August 2017:
| Shareholder | Ordinary shares (voting) | Preference shares (non-voting) | Share capital | Voting rights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JMV GmbH & Co. KG (Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 661118) | 54,868,687 | 6,096,521 | 50.80% | 50.80% |
| Sahara Vermögensverwaltung GmbH (now Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 747385) | 53,131,313 | 5,903,479 | 49.20% | 49.20% |
Both percentages are stated separately for share capital and for voting rights. Only the ordinary shares carry votes; the preference shares are expressly non-voting. The percentages are identical in both columns because the deed allocated ordinary and preference shares to each holder in the same proportion. The general partner, Voith Management GmbH, received no capital participation under the same deed and does not participate in the assets, profit or loss of the company, so it is not a shareholder.
One of those two holders has since ceased to exist. The chronological print of Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 661118 records, in the entry of 17 April 2020, that the general partner JMV Verwaltungs GmbH withdrew, that JMV GmbH & Co. KG was dissolved and its firm extinguished with no liquidation taking place, and that the sole remaining limited partner was Familiengesellschaft JMV SE & Co. KG, Heidenheim an der Brenz (Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 726905), with a contribution of EUR 400,000. That entity now trades as JMV SE & Co. KG. The register of HRA 661118 does not itself record what became of the shares that JMV GmbH & Co. KG held in Voith, and a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien files no shareholder list, so the current holder of that 50.80% block is not evidenced by a filing retrieved for this profile.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person can be established as an ultimate beneficial owner of this company from the filings available. That is a finding about the public record, not a statement that the company has no beneficial owners.
Neither direct shareholder is itself a beneficial owner; both are corporate or partnership vehicles, and a corporate shareholder is not automatically the ultimate beneficial owner. The two chains behave differently:
- Sahara Vermögensverwaltung GmbH (49.20% of share capital and of voting rights). Its own shareholder list, taken into the register folder on 8 August 2022 under Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 747385, names individual natural persons together with a family foundation, the MMS-Familienstiftung. The list states each holder’s aggregate percentage of that company’s share capital. The largest single holding on the list is 13.36%, and no holder reaches 25%. Multiplying through the chain, the largest calculated effective interest in Voith held through Sahara is approximately 6.6% of share capital (13.36% of 49.20%). This is a calculated effective percentage, not a figure stated in any filing.
- The JMV chain (50.80% of share capital and of voting rights). This chain cannot be quantified. JMV SE & Co. KG (Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 726905) has as its general partner JMV Management und Verwaltungs SE, Heidenheim an der Brenz (Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 738814), and its register sheet names a substantial number of natural persons as limited partners together with the MMS-Familienstiftung. The only figures the register gives for them are registered liability contributions (Hafteinlagen), ranging from EUR 524.28 to EUR 60,000 against a registered total of EUR 400,000. A Hafteinlage is a liability figure and is not a share of capital, profit or votes, so no percentage interest in Voith can be derived from it. A German partnership does not file a shareholder list.
Because the JMV chain cannot be quantified, effective interests cannot be added across the two vehicles for any person who appears in both, and no figure is substituted for the missing one. Under section 3 of the German Money Laundering Act (Geldwäschegesetz), a beneficial owner is a natural person holding more than 25% of the capital shares or controlling more than 25% of the voting rights, or exercising control in a comparable manner. No natural person is shown at or above that level on any filing retrieved, but the absence of a quantified JMV chain means this is reported as a measured percentage without a definitive conclusion rather than as a determination that no such person exists.
The German Transparenzregister, which holds the statutory beneficial-ownership entry, has not been open to general public inspection since the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 22 November 2022 in Joined Cases C-37/20 and C-601/20; access is limited to obliged entities and applicants demonstrating a legitimate interest. No Transparenzregister entry for this company was therefore available.
No individual member of the Voith family is named here as a beneficial owner. Several are named in register filings as limited partners or as shareholders of intermediate holding companies, but none is named in any filing in the capacity of beneficial owner of this company, and none is shown above a control threshold on the evidence obtained.
Data availability
Partial. The direct shareholders of the predecessor Voith GmbH are fully evidenced by a notarially certified shareholder list and by a notarised shareholders’ resolution, with exact share numbers and classes as at 4 July 2017. From the registration of the change of legal form on 1 August 2017 the company has been a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien, which files no shareholder list, so the register does not evidence the share register after that date; one of the two 2017 holders has since been dissolved. Beneficial-ownership data is classified separately as Restricted, because the Transparenzregister is not publicly accessible. Nothing above should be read as evidence that the company has no owners.

Officers
Directors and officers of Voith GmbH
The company’s legal form determines who its officers are. A Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien has no management board of its own and no Geschäftsführer of its own. It is managed and represented by its persönlich haftender Gesellschafter (general partner), which under German law is an organ of the company and not an employee or appointee of the shareholders.
The register sheet Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 735450 records, from its first entry of 1 August 2017 and unchanged since, a single general partner:
| Name | Role | Type | Register |
|---|---|---|---|
| Voith Management GmbH, Heidenheim an der Brenz | Persönlich haftender Gesellschafter (general partner with unlimited liability) | Legal entity, not a natural person | Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 735126 |
The registered general rule of representation is that each general partner represents the company individually. Under the conversion deed of 4 July 2017 the general partner holds no capital participation and does not share in the assets, profit or loss of the company.
The natural persons who manage the company do so as Geschäftsführer (managing directors) of that general partner. The chronological print of Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 735126, retrieved on 6 October 2026, records the following as currently appointed, with no entry removing them:
| Name | Role | Entered on the register |
|---|---|---|
| Andreas Endters | Geschäftsführer (managing director) of Voith Management GmbH | 18 October 2017 |
| Stephanie Holdt | Geschäftsführer (managing director) of Voith Management GmbH | 27 April 2022 |
| Jan Lüder | Geschäftsführer (managing director) of Voith Management GmbH | 23 April 2025 |
| Dirk Carsten Hoke | Geschäftsführer (managing director) of Voith Management GmbH | 23 April 2025 |
Voith Management GmbH’s registered rule of representation is that where more than one Geschäftsführer is appointed, two act jointly, or one Geschäftsführer acts together with a Prokurist.
Separately, fourteen individuals held Gesamtprokura (joint procuration) on the company’s own sheet HRB 735450 as at 6 October 2026, each authorised to sign jointly with a general partner or with another Prokurist. A Prokurist is a registered commercial representative with a statutory scope of authority; the role is not a directorship and is not equivalent to it, and it is kept distinct here rather than being flattened into “director”.
The supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat) of a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien is not entered on the register sheet, and no supervisory board members appear on HRB 735450. Their absence from the sheet is a feature of German registration practice and is not evidence that no supervisory board exists.
The Handelsregister does not record the nationality of registered officers, so nationality is not disclosed for any person named above. The register does record a place of residence for each, but a place of residence is a separate field from nationality and from a correspondence address, and none is inferred from another or from a person’s name. German register filings also carry dates of birth and, in some documents, private addresses; none is reproduced here.

Data availability
Partial. The register discloses every registered representative of the company and of its general partner, in both cases with the date of entry and with an explicit entry when a person ceases to hold office, so current and former officers can be distinguished reliably and no one who has ceased to hold office is presented as current. What the register does not publish is the composition of the supervisory board, any shareholder committee, or any management function that is not a registered organ or procuration. Nationality is not recorded at all.

Every relationship in the table below is taken from an official register entry or a filed notarised document. Shared names, a shared address at St. Pöltener Straße 43 in Heidenheim, shared branding and overlapping officers are present throughout this group, and none of them is treated here as evidence of a corporate link.

No immediate or ultimate parent company is identified. The two holders recorded in 2017 held 50.80% and 49.20% respectively, and the register does not record either as a parent. The Handelsregister does not record subsidiaries, so the operating companies of the Voith group that the registered object refers to are not listed above; they are reported only in the company’s own consolidated financial statements, and no subsidiary is asserted here on that basis alone.

Data availability
Partial. The general partner, the direct shareholders as at 4 July 2017 and the full chain of legal-form changes are evidenced by register entries and filed notarised documents. The German commercial register does not record subsidiaries, branches abroad or controlled undertakings of a parent company, so no list of group companies can be derived from it, and the absence of such a list is not evidence that the company has no subsidiaries. The share register of a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien is not filed, so changes in ownership after 1 August 2017 are not evidenced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Voith GmbH do?
Voith GmbH is an earlier name and legal form of the company now registered as Voith GmbH & Co. KGaA, a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien entered at the Amtsgericht Ulm under HRB 735450, with its registered seat in Heidenheim an der Brenz and a registered business address at St. Poeltener Strasse 43, 89522 Heidenheim an der Brenz. Its registered object is the management of the Voith group, which is predominantly active in mechanical engineering, through direct and indirect participations, together with the manufacture and sale of machines and apparatus and related services. The company's own published description sets out three divisions: hydropower, papermaking and drive technology. The number HRB 725621 Ulm shown on this page is the closed register sheet of the predecessor Voith GmbH, closed on 1 August 2017 when the change of legal form was registered; it was closed because of that conversion, not because the business ceased.
Who owns Voith GmbH?
The last shareholder list filed for Voith GmbH was drawn up to 13 March 2013, certified by Dr. Christian Pohl, Notar in Ludwigshafen am Rhein under deed register P 716 / 2013, and taken into the register folder on 4 April 2013. It records JMV GmbH & Co. KG, Heidenheim an der Brenz (Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 661118) with EUR 60,965,208 of the EUR 120,000,000 share capital, or 50.80 per cent, and Sahara Vermoegensverwaltung GmbH (then Amtsgericht Mannheim HRB 8218, now Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 747385) with EUR 59,034,792, or 49.20 per cent. The notarised shareholders' resolution of 4 July 2017 states that these two were the sole shareholders, and allocated 54,868,687 ordinary and 6,096,521 preference shares to JMV and 53,131,313 ordinary and 5,903,479 preference shares to Sahara, giving the same 50.80 and 49.20 per cent of share capital and of voting rights. JMV GmbH & Co. KG was dissolved without liquidation, entered 17 April 2020, and a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien files no shareholder list, so the current holder of that block is not evidenced by any filing retrieved.
Who is Voith GmbH's UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)?
No natural person can be established as an ultimate beneficial owner of this company from the filings available, and that is a finding about the public record rather than a statement that the company has no beneficial owners. Neither direct shareholder is itself a beneficial owner. The shareholder list of Sahara Vermoegensverwaltung GmbH, taken into the register folder on 8 August 2022, names individual natural persons and the MMS-Familienstiftung, with a largest single holding of 13.36 per cent and none at or above 25 per cent; the largest calculated effective interest in Voith through that chain is about 6.6 per cent of share capital. The other chain, through JMV SE & Co. KG (Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 726905), cannot be quantified: the register shows only registered liability contributions (Hafteinlagen) of between EUR 524.28 and EUR 60,000 against a total of EUR 400,000, and a Hafteinlage is not a share of capital, profit or votes. Section 3 of the German Money Laundering Act sets the threshold at more than 25 per cent of capital or voting rights, or comparable control; no person is shown at that level on any filing obtained, but because one chain cannot be quantified this is reported as a measured percentage without a definitive conclusion. The Transparenzregister, which holds the statutory beneficial-ownership entry, has not been open to general public inspection since the Court of Justice of the European Union judgment of 22 November 2022 in Joined Cases C-37/20 and C-601/20.
What is Voith GmbH's company registration number?
Voith GmbH's registration number is HRB 725621 Ulm, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) in Germany. Its current status on the register is inactive.
Is Voith GmbH still an active company?
Voith GmbH's status on Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is listed as inactive, not currently active.
What is Voith GmbH's registered address?
The registered address on file for Voith GmbH is Germany.
What is Voith GmbH's revenue?
The figures Voith publishes are consolidated group figures, not figures of this legal entity, and the group reports on a financial year ending 30 September rather than 31 December. For the financial year 2024/25, ended 30 September 2025, the company reports consolidated orders received of EUR 5,447 million, consolidated sales of EUR 4,846 million, research and development spending of EUR 185 million, and 20,751 employees as full-time equivalents excluding apprentices at 30 September 2025. The reported comparatives for 2023/24 are orders received of EUR 5,816 million, sales of EUR 4,684 million and 20,984 employees. The company states these exclude the discontinued Commercial Vehicles operation. No separate entity-level revenue or headcount is published here.
Is Voith GmbH listed on a stock exchange?
No securities exchange listing is recorded for the company. It is unlisted and family-controlled. Its share capital of EUR 120,000,000 is divided into 108,000,000 no-par ordinary shares and 12,000,000 no-par non-voting preference shares, all registered shares, and the notarised conversion deed of 4 July 2017 allocated the whole of that capital to two holders. Because the company is unlisted there are no voting-rights notifications and no proxy statement, so ownership evidence has to come from the commercial register's document file.
Who are the officers/directors of Voith GmbH?
A Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien has no management board and no Geschaeftsfuehrer of its own. This company is managed and represented by its persoenlich haftender Gesellschafter (general partner), Voith Management GmbH, Heidenheim an der Brenz (Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 735126), which is a legal entity and not a natural person, and which under the 2017 conversion deed holds no capital and no share of assets, profit or loss. Each general partner represents the company individually. The natural persons who manage it do so as Geschaeftsfuehrer of that general partner: Andreas Endters (entered 18 October 2017), Stephanie Holdt (27 April 2022), Jan Lueder (23 April 2025) and Dirk Carsten Hoke (23 April 2025). Fourteen individuals held Gesamtprokura on the company's own sheet at 6 October 2026; a Prokurist is a registered commercial representative, not a director. The supervisory board of a KGaA is not entered on the register sheet, and the register does not record the nationality of any registered officer.
Does Voith GmbH have a parent company or subsidiaries?
The register evidences a general partner, two direct shareholders and a chain of legal-form changes, but no parent company. Voith Management GmbH (Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 735126) is the general partner and holds no capital. The 2017 shareholders were JMV GmbH & Co. KG (Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 661118, 50.80 per cent, dissolved without liquidation as entered on 17 April 2020, with JMV SE & Co. KG, Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 726905, as its sole remaining limited partner) and Sahara Vermoegensverwaltung GmbH (now Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 747385, 49.20 per cent). The company is the same legal person as the former Voith AG (Amtsgericht Ulm HRB 661319) and Voith GmbH (HRB 725621), which are predecessor legal forms rather than separate companies. J.M. Voith GmbH & Co. Beteiligungen KG (Amtsgericht Ulm HRA 661052) was the counterparty to recorded asset transfers in 2011 and 2015, which is not an ownership link. The German commercial register does not record subsidiaries, so no list of group companies can be derived from it, and that absence is not evidence that the company has none.
Can Zavia monitor changes to Voith GmbH's ownership over time?
This profile reflects a point-in-time snapshot from Handelsregister (Commercial Register). Zavia's monitoring API can track changes to Voith GmbH's registered shareholders, officers, and group structure going forward, flagging updates as they're filed rather than requiring a manual recheck.
Can I access Voith GmbH's data through an API?
Yes. Zavia's API connects directly to official government ownership registries across 195 countries and territories, including Germany, so records like Voith GmbH's registration, shareholder, UBO, and group-structure data can be queried programmatically instead of viewed one page at a time.
