Voith Hydro

A few weeks in and we can already see the positive energy flowing through our Noth American team at Voith Hydro !

One highlight of my latest trip to Malaysia was visiting the offices of SEDA Malaysia – Sustainable Energy Development Authority – where I gained valuable insights into how renewable energy policy is shaped and implemented in the region. Our discussions focused on practical realities of the energy transition and the importance of strong alignment between policy and implementation. Given current geopolitical developments, supply-chain constraints and mounting cost pressures, it was clear that there is a growing need for our efficient and adaptive Voith Hydro solutions across Malaysia, particularly for small hydropower projects. I appreciated the warm welcome and constructive exchange of ideas. My thanks also to Radu Cârja , Abhishek Mehta , Nigel Hales and Janson Goh for joining me. #OneVoith #VoithHydro #PSP #IHA #RenewableEnergy

Voith Hydro has strong ties to Malaysia, so it was important to me to visit the Malaysian-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry | AHK Malaysia during my latest trip. It was a real pleasure to spend time with their knowledgeable team and gain practical and intercultural insights into the region. For me, it’s clear that the MGCC plays an important role in strengthening economic ties between Malaysia and Germany. As I am particularly interested in building trusted, long-lasting partnerships, I truly value the collaboration with MGCC. #OneVoith #HydroPower #AHK #EnergyTransition

The inauguration of our new joint office with HeiTech Padu Berhad in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, marks an important milestone in our long-term commitment to the region. I was proud to speak at the event. With this strategic expansion, Voith Hydro and HeiTech Padu Berhad are bringing together strong local teams and global expertise. Our mutual focus is on delivering the comprehensive Life Extension Programs in Perak. The official opening was a celebratory affair, attended by the Austrian Ambassador Gerhard Eisl , representatives of the German embassy and many local dignitaries. I was impressed by the collaborative spirit of everyone involved and the sheer energy around the work ahead of us. Being on the ground together will strengthen our partnership and speed up decision-making. Without doubt, it will lead to innovative and resourceful solutions and help secure a vital renewable energy source for the region. In addition, I spent time at both the Voith Hydro and Voith Turbo offices in Kuala Lumpur, where I was greeted with such hospitability and enthusiasm. I’m impressed by the dedication of the teams and positive working environment. I look forward to further advancing this important regional hub. My special thanks to Sumit Sanyal, Wilfried Hassler , Radu Cârja , Zhe Heng Yang , Achim Bruder and Abhishek Mehta for their insights and support on this trip. #OneVoith #VoithHydro #PSP #APA #SEA #P2G

It takes courage to move on from the past and embrace new beginnings. Over the past few days, the #NorthAmerica #Service Team at Voith Hydro has taken a meaningful step in that direction. Within #HyService , we are evolving into a true end-to-end service provider—covering everything from small parts and repairs to overhauls and refurbishments. This strengthens and complements our projects business across modernization and new builds throughout the entire lifecycle of a #HydroPowerPlant , positioning us as a #PartnerOfChoice for our customers. A key part of any transformation is building new routines through continuous learning and consistent progress. I am very confident that the new North America Leadership Uwe Zulehner and Starr Vavrek will drive many successes along this journey. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone in the #NorthAmerica #HyService team for embracing this change. Adapting is never easy—embracing change is far more challenging than simply talking about it. Gerhard Bierleutgeb Edgar Canola, P.Eng., MBA, PMP Katrin Huber Amie Ziebell, SPHR, SHRM-SCP Jan Mayer
