Goldschmidt is a family-owned group of companies operating worldwide in rail infrastructure. It focuses on joining rails, constructing railway tracks, and inspecting and maintaining track infrastructure to support safe and reliable rail operations. The company traces its heritage to the Thermit welding process invented by Hans Goldschmidt in 1895, a method that underpins continuously welded rails used around the world. Its inspection solutions enable detailed diagnoses of track conditions to support predictive maintenance and sustainable, economical rail networks and rail vehicles. Based in Leipzig, Saxony, Germany, the group maintains production, service, and sales locations worldwide and provides local support to rail network operators, track construction and railway companies, and municipal transport providers. In 2024, Goldschmidt unveiled its battery-powered +S track construction machines at InnoTrans in Berlin, illustrating its development of emission-free construction technology.
