Advanced magnetic materials and components for automotive, aerospace, and industrial systems
VACUUMSCHMELZE manufactures specialized magnetic alloys and components—from soft magnetic materials to rare-earth permanent magnets—for applications in e-mobility, aerospace, and industrial drives. The company operates a vertically integrated production footprint with control over material composition and component finishing. Current hiring activity centers on HR and talent development infrastructure, paired with security hardening efforts (vulnerability remediation, patch management, system hardening), suggesting a transition from organic growth to more structured operational scaling.
VACUUMSCHMELZE is a publicly traded German materials manufacturer founded in 1923, headquartered in Hanau. The company designs and produces over 170 proprietary alloys and magnetic component solutions—including cobalt-iron materials, soft magnetic alloys, permanent magnets, inductive components, and shielded enclosures. Customers span automotive (including e-mobility suppliers), aerospace, photovoltaic, and industrial motor manufacturers. The business model combines material science (alloy composition) with integrated manufacturing (stamping, lamination, core production, magnet assembly), which reduces customer complexity and creates single-point responsibility across the supply chain. Operations span multiple geographies with a workforce of 1,001–5,000 employees.
Core systems are SAP (ERP), Microsoft 365, Office, Windows, and Active Directory. Device and access management runs on Intune and Ivanti EPM, reflecting an enterprise IT footprint.
Headquartered in Hanau, Germany. Current hiring is restricted to Germany, with active roles in HR, engineering, legal, and operations.
