History[edit]

Leadec originated in 1962, with the establishment of boiler cleaning company Reichenberger & Co. In the 1960s, the company began to provide a new kind of service: the outsourced maintenance of machines and facilities. The company was renamed Deutsche Industriewartung GmbH, Reichenberger & Co., and from 1985 operated under the name Deutsche Industriewartung GmbH & Co. KG (DIW).^{[citation needed]}

In 1986 Salamander and Voith acquired DIW, which became the Group Division Voith Industrial Services in October 2000. Voith Industrial Services acquired a stake in Hörmann Industrietechnik in October 2000. Voith Servicos Industriais do Brasil Ltda. was established in 2004. In 2005 the company acquired the American Premier Group. In 2006 it acquired a majority stake in Hörmann Industrietechnik, a specialist in technical industrial services mainly for the automotive industry.^{[citation needed]}

Helix Systems Inc., which has a workforce of 260 and sales of US$30 million, became part of Voith Industrial Services in August 2014.^[7][8] In September 2014, Voith Industrial Services sold its subsidiary DIW.^[9]

In May 2016 Voith and Triton signed an agreement on the planned sale of the Voith Industrial Services Division.^[10][11][12] The sale to Triton was completed in September 2016. The new Leadec brand was announced on 23 January 2017. The new name, "Leadec", is derived from the English words "lead" (leading edge, leadership) and "tech" (technology).
