Heraeus Group

About Heraeus

Heraeus develops materials and technologies worldwide that operate behind the scenes while enabling real progress. Whether in medical technology, semiconductors, mobility, or communications, our solutions make life safer and easier and make industrial production more efficient and sustainable.

MATERIALS. INNOVATIONS. FOR GENERATIONS.

Often invisible, yet indispensable. At Heraeus, we develop materials that make modern technologies possible in the first place. Whether in smartphones, fiber optic cables, components for pacemakers, or bone cement—there is a piece of Heraeus in all of them.

Our strength is our materials expertise. We know the properties, limitations, and potential of materials and are continuously expanding this knowledge. This enables us to create new applications and improve existing technologies with precision. 

We listen carefully to our customers, partners, and employees. And we take a close look at markets, economic and environmental requirements, and social trends. This allows us to identify opportunities early on and develop solutions that create real value and help improve the lives of many people – as well as our customers’ processes and products. 

At Heraeus, we bring together materials expertise, innovation, and an entrepreneurial mindset with a strong sense of responsibility for people. Our technologies enable sustainable progress and help shape a more livable future.
