The Vaillant Group is a family-owned business that has been shaping the heating industry since 1874, when Johann Vaillant founded his craft business as a coppersmith and pump maker in Remscheid, Germany. Today we're the world market leader in central heating units, with over 17,000 employees across more than 60 countries generating around 3.8 billion euros in annual revenue. We develop and produce customised products and systems for heating, cooling and hot water supply, with a strong focus on renewable energy technologies and heat pumps.
Our portfolio includes eight brands - Vaillant, Saunier Duval, AWB, Bulex, Glow-worm, Hermann Saunier Duval, Protherm, and DemirDöküm - giving us close proximity to customers in diverse markets. We're deeply committed to the energy transition, operating networked production at eleven sites and development at nine locations worldwide. With more than 800 employees in R&D working on over 160 parallel projects, we continue to push technological boundaries. Through our SEEDS sustainability programme, we've set ambitious climate goals and fully offset our CO2 emissions, reflecting our commitment to taking care of a better climate both inside homes and for the environment.
