About us
The Scheidt & Bachmann group is one of the leading providers of innovative system solutions for mobile living. With our unique portfolio, we support a wide range of transport systems, thus keeping millions of people and goods on the move worldwide. You can encounter our smart solutions every day and almost everywhere: when parking, refuelling or charging, travelling by public transport or using rail services. In collaboration with mobility providers around the world, we are committed to making mobility as convenient and sustainable as possible.
Our success as one of the global market leaders in our core areas of Parking Solutions, Signalling Systems, Fare Collection Systems and Energy Retail Solutions is based on the great commitment and expertise of our employees.
We promote both through diverse career opportunities, exciting projects and flat hierarchies. Freedom to develop and realise innovative ideas is a matter of course for us.
Since its foundation in 1872, Scheidt & Bachmann has developed from a mechanical engineering company into a global system provider.

Nevertheless, we are and will remain a value-orientated family business that operates sustainably and long-term-focused. We invest in generations, not in quarters.
