In 1962 the foundation stone for today’s company was laid – with the founding of the boiler cleaning company Reichenberger & Co. in Munich. During the last 6 decades Leadec has experienced so many different phases. But through all these years, some things have never changed:
Leadec is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2022 and is donating 6060 euros each to six charitable initiatives. They were suggested by employees of the globally active service provider for the factory. In a 60-day challenge, they walked, ran or biked to raise donations for projects close to their hearts.
The whole Leadec team got active during the "60 Day Challenge".
Although there are different roots, Leadec acts as one team. And transformation is never-ending. But we pursue our vision: to be the leading service specialist for the factory of today and tomorrow.
We are pleased to receive congratulations from clients, partners and companions from all over the world! It is an honor and we say thank you very much!
I´m very happy and honored to congratulate Leadec on its 60 years, a large part of which we had the opportunity to work as a true team.
Together we implemented a new work concept within Mercedes Benz at the Juiz de Fora Plant, a challenge for that moment when we lived moments of celebrations and difficulties. We have always lived together guided by the principles of respect, commitment and mutual collaboration, where objectives and goals were always defined and achieved jointly in order to always bring growth to both companies. I wish Leadec to continue with this innovative spirit, always looking for partnership and the development of its team.
Developing goals, making a contribution and being effective – these are success factors of companies. Over the past 60 years, Leadec has moved the idea of service forward in a global and challenging market environment. My sincere congratulations on this! In my role as an advisory board member, I have been able to accompany you on this journey to some extent, and it has once again become clear that teamwork can move mountains. As a team, you will tackle the challenges that move us industrial companies. Whether it’s digitization, which is bringing about profound changes for entire societies, or the transformation needed to create a green future. This calls for all of us, and I wish the entire company every success in this endeavor as well!
60 years of Leadec speak for themselves: A company that can assert itself on the market for such a long time is obviously doing a lot right. We offer our sincere congratulations and are proud to have been able to contribute a small part to this success story for many years. During the audits we conducted for ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications, our contact persons always exuded great competence and, just like us, were constantly on the lookout for further potential for improvement. The experts at TÜV Thüringen are looking forward to supporting Leadec’s next steps and wish the company continued success!
60 years of Leadec: what a remarkable story! Just as the world has changed through globalization, automation and robotics, digitalization and e-mobility, Leadec has evolved from a boiler cleaning company to a reliable partner for the smart factory of today and tomorrow. Expertise, quality, reliability and stability make Leadec the right address for customers in a wide range of industries in a world that is constantly changing. The success proves Leadec right and we are proud to accompany Leadec, the employees and the management around Markus Glaser-Gallion on this journey. Happy birthday to the team from the entire Triton team!
Happy birthday and congratulations to an obviously sustainable, very diverse, incredibly talented and highly dedicated global team. I am honored to have played a part in this amazing story and look forward to watching the current and future team members pursue the next level of excellence. All the best.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to join Leadec in 2017 and I found myself fully integrated just few days after, because this is how Leadec is,, a passionate organization consisting of outstanding people in all different regions.

As Lord Mayor of the State Capital Stuttgart, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the entire workforce of the Leadec Group on the occasion of the company’s 60th anniversary!
In six decades, your company has developed from a boiler cleaning company into a globally active service company – with more than 300 locations and around 18,000 employees worldwide. You have written this impressive success story to a large extent from Stuttgart, where many of your customers are also based. I would like to thank you very much for this commitment to our location. In doing so, you are making a significant contribution to the performance and reputation of our business location.
To ensure that you continue to remain loyal to Stuttgart, I will continue to work hard to ensure that your company finds optimal conditions in the state capital. On that note, I wish the Leadec Group and all its dedicated employees continued success and enjoyment in their daily work!

First of all let me congratulate Leadec for completing 60 years of success in business.
Leadec India has achieved tremendous growth and have built Goodwill in the Industry. Leadec India, over the years have developed strong customer base and generated employment of over 2600 personnel spread across India. As Leadec is in the Services business in India, it is therefore of paramount importance that it exceeds customer’s expectation, which has been amply demonstrated by you and your team starting your business with us in 2010, to having more than 40 customers across the length and breadth of India.
Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, working together is success.
The above saying holds true for our partnership with Leadec Industrial services, formerly known as Voith Industrial Services. We at Fiat India Automobiles Private Limited duly recognize and appreciate how our partnership has evolved, since we started our work in September 2010. Perhaps, this was the first annual paint shop maintenance contract for us as well as for Leadec in India . Since then, Leadec has been successfully walking with us shoulder to shoulder as a reliable business partner.
Leadec has always taken excellent initiatives in Safety management. Their effort for implementation of Autonomous and Professional Maintenance are resulting in better uptime and utilization of the paint shop.
As we continue in this partnership, am sure that Leadec India with its Professional and Subject Matter Expertise will bring further value add to the business.
I wish Leadec India good luck and looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship.
I would like to congratulate Leadec very warmly on its 60th anniversary. The district of Böblingen is a strong economic district. It thrives on its large companies, medium-sized businesses and hidden champions. Leadec is a leading industrial service provider with 60 years of industry experience, over 300 locations worldwide and 350 employees in Sindelfingen. It is a company that has grown, embraces challenges and always keeps a watchful eye on technologies and trends.
I wish the company continued success in the future.
Leadec has cemented a positive partnership with our organization. Launching facility management operations with a brand new partner after being serviced by a competitor vendor for several decades was not an easy decision. Leadec’s project launch team has put our concerns to rest, exceeding our expectations and demonstrating that hospitality is at the forefront of Leadec staff’s approach to FM. We look forward to a long-term partnership, showcasing a true success strategy for our FM onsite services.
Congratulations on this important celebration, few companies come to this celebration with success and accomplishments that you have achieved.
Congratulations to Leadec on its 60-year anniversary. We share the joy, as our foundation is also celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2022. We are proud to have a long and excellent relationship with the Hungarian subsidiary. Year after year, we can count on the CSR support of Leadec Kft., which is helping us achieve our main goal of making it easier for sick children to spend time in hospital. We wish the company further success in the future.
When the foundation stone for today’s Leadec was laid in 1962, hardly anyone would have guessed what a great journey Leadec would take one day. While many companies were unable to withstand the competitive pressures of globalization, Leadec continued to develop steadily and even managed to make a big name for itself internationally, thus becoming a global partner.
I am therefore very pleased to have in my constituency such a successful company that has been safeguarding jobs for decades and, despite its international orientation, still focuses on local customers. Congratulations on your 60th anniversary and good luck for the future! I look forward to following your future development and wish you all the best.
Leadec’s employees are to be congratulated for the way the company has developed over its 60-year history. It now occupies a viable leadership position with its global presence for its customer industry. It is a 60-year history with a consistent tradition of service to industrial customers. During visits to customers, the sites and in discussions with managers, I was repeatedly impressed by the employees’ strength in serving customers and the respect that customers showed them.
And I was always pleased to hear that additional service offerings could be developed. Technical services is a dynamic field of work for creative employees and entrepreneurial owners. All the best until the next anniversary and far beyond.
Congratulations on the first 60 years! It is a pleasure to work with a company that has grown so much in the last few years and that prioritizes customer service. Staying in the sector for these years is not easy but the talent and dedication of its employees have positioned it as a very important company in the market. Keep working to achieve the goals and for sure the future will bring many more successes! Receive my sincere greetings and a hug to all.
Innovation, inventiveness and technological change have always been a top priority in Baden-Württemberg. Nowhere else is so much invested in research and development as in the state of tinkerers, inventors and patents. We are therefore extremely pleased that the Leadec Group, a globally active company with a large number of locations, has been operating its headquarters in our state capital for many years and is committed to precisely this change and progress. Here, in the heart of “The Länd,” the factories of the future are being planned and forward-looking technologies are being advanced thanks to this creative energy. There could not be a better location to make company history. On behalf of the state government, I would like to offer my sincere congratulations on the company’s 60th anniversary. I wish the management and the entire workforce wonderful anniversary celebrations and continued success in the future!
Congratulations on your 60th anniversary, Leadec! We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the many years of excellent support as a reliable service provider. Furthermore, we wish you the necessary success to continue positioning yourself as a leading service specialist for the factory in the market.
Today, Leadec can look back on six decades of corporate history. 60 years in which the company has shown in all its facets how it has been able to adapt to changing markets and requirements. And its success did not and does not come by chance. In the factories and offices, there has always been a mentality of getting things done, of being close to the customer and of working together in a spirit of trust. Our motto: “We give our best!” I am proud to have shaped the company over 40 years of this journey and still follow where everything is going. From initial expansion activities back then to a leading global service specialist today. And on a personal note, I am delighted to see that some of the employees from my former team are still helping to steer Leadec’s fortunes today. With this in mind, I would like to congratulate the entire staff and wish them continued success in all their endeavors!
Outsourcing was still largely unknown when Leadec provided its first services to industrial companies under the then name Kesselreinigungsgesellschaft Reichenberger & Co. in Munich in 1962. What seemed exotic at the time has developed into an unparalleled success story. Accordingly, Leadec’s range of services today includes everything that is essential for the operation of a factory and for trouble-free production processes, from industrial cleaning to infrastructural services and factory maintenance to highly specialized technical services such as the automation of production facilities. The “global reach” has also expanded significantly over the decades. Outsourcing has taken off on a worldwide triumphant march and, as a logical consequence, Leadec is now active in all major industrialized nations. There is no end in sight to this development. The industrial logic of outsourcing continues unabated, and Leadec will remain an essential player in the symbiosis between industry and service providers in the decades to come. I wish Leadec and especially the great Leadec team continued success.
“There will always be a frontier where there is an open mind and a willing hand.” (Charles Franklin Kettering)
Leadec’s now 60-year history shows that they have strong and creative hands. We have been able to experience the open-minded spirit of Leadec and their entrepreneurship in joint activities over the past five years. We are happy about your anniversary and congratulate you on your curiosity, courage, initiative and creativity. Together we have broken new ground and left our mark nationally and internationally in science and business. Let us courageously go further and conquer the new digital world.
With heartfelt congratulations and great respect for hand and mind.
My congratulations to this great company, to which I dedicated 20 years of my professional career, first as CEO for the Brazilian branch, additionally as Member of the Global Board of Management and finally as a consultant, after my retirement from executive positions. We always worked very hard as a team, but also had lots of fun. I lived many memorable stories, witnessed great achievements, as well as developed lifetime friendships. I wish Leadec all the very best! Many thanks for all these years of cooperation, I will never forget you.
