| In 1999, the invention of the paper machine celebrated its 200th anniversary. For 175 years, the name Voith has been associated with its continued development. In 1824, Johann Caspar Voith and his son, Johann Matthäus, completed the repair and modernization of the Voelter paper mill, in Heidenheim, Germany - the first contract for a paper production facility and the foundation stone by Voith for the industrial production of paper.
Since then, giant strides have been made in the development of paper technology. Whether one considers fundamental inventions or improvements in processes and efficiency, no name is so intensively and continuously linked with the progress of paper technology than the name Voith.
Water recovery, visionary solutions for saving resources, e. g. in recycling recovered paper and saving energy, and 5,000 patents in paper technology applied for, constitute examples that demonstrate Voith's leadership.
