HVAC, heat pump, and renewable energy manufacturer serving residential and commercial markets
Vaillant is a 150-year-old family-owned manufacturer of heating, ventilation, and solar systems, operating at scale (10,000+ employees across 70+ nations) with a tech stack anchored in SAP S/4HANA, Jira, and CAD. Active hiring skews toward junior technical roles (internships and mid-level engineers), suggesting workforce expansion in R&D and manufacturing rather than leadership restructuring. Current projects reveal a shift toward digitization (SAP quality processes, digital planning tools, B2B webshop rollout) and supply-chain resilience (preventive planning, device availability), indicating Vaillant is modernizing legacy manufacturing operations to compete in a renewable-energy–driven market.
Vaillant manufactures and distributes heating systems, heat pumps, water heaters, ventilation equipment, and photovoltaic solutions to residential and commercial customers across Europe and beyond. Based in Remscheid, Germany, the company employs approximately 16,000 people across more than 70 nationalities. The product portfolio centers on energy-efficient HVAC and renewable-energy products, with operations spanning product design, manufacturing, quality assurance, and global distribution. Vaillant operates as a privately held family business with a stated focus on sustainable and future-oriented business practices.
Vaillant uses SAP S/4HANA for enterprise resource planning, Jira and Confluence for collaboration, CAD for product design, Celonis for process mining, and ARIS for business process modeling. Office productivity tools include Excel, PowerPoint, and Microsoft Access.
