About DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH (HEIDENHAIN)

HEIDENHAIN is a German measurement and control technology company headquartered in Traunreut, Bavaria, whose encoders and CNC controls are used wherever axes must be positioned with extreme accuracy. Founded in Berlin in 1889 and rebuilt in Traunreut after the Second World War, the company develops and produces linear encoders, angle encoders and rotary encoders, plus length gauges, touch probes, vision systems, CNC controls and digital readouts. For robotics and automation, its relevance is motion feedback: the company promotes rotary encoders optimised for robotics and automation applications, and its corporate group — including brands such as AMO, LEINE LINDE, LTN and RSF — covers feedback devices from standard to high-end applications.

HEIDENHAIN states that its products serve machine tools, automation, electronics and semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, elevators and medical technology, where positioning accuracy, dynamic performance and reliability determine throughput and quality. The group reports around 8,200 employees worldwide, turnover of about €1.3 billion, roughly 30 subsidiaries and about 40 distributors, and it remains privately held under a foundation structure with no public funding rounds. For directory partners, HEIDENHAIN is a precision feedback and control supplier for robot and machine builders that need proven, high-accuracy position measurement inside their axes, spindles and linear stages.

Questions partners ask

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	9 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
