/ About us

Scheidt & Bachmann Slovensko

We are the largest subsidiary of Scheidt & Bachmann in the world. We have been growing in Žilina since 1995 thanks to our cooperation with the University of Žilina. From a 2-person student start-up, we have become the software company that employs the most IT specialists in the Žilina region. However, our software teams also operate in Bratislava and Košice. In addition, we also have our own production in Bytča, where the designed software comes to life in the manufactured hardware.

Our 700+ colleagues work on projects that make sense. We develop, manufacture and service across 4 divisions of Scheidt & Bachmann and its customers.

We are constantly expanding our teams, who enjoy the family atmosphere and great teamwork. Innovation is deeply rooted in our corporate DNA. We work tirelessly every day to ensure that people around the world have exceptional travel experiences.

SLOVAK HISTORY – 1990 UNTIL TODAY

/ Today

We are still growing

We are the largest employer of IT professionals in Žilina. We continue to expand our development, service, electrical engineering, manufacturing and logistics teams as well as our portfolio of products and services. We are proud of how well the German know-how works in the hands of skilled Slovak employees. At the end of our journey is a common goal – satisfied employees and customer all over the world.

From meeting to cooperation

In March 1990, the 1st Railway Conference after the opening of the borders took place in Dresden. Representatives of Scheidt & Bachmann – Heinz Laumen, Major General Konrad Manthey and Dr. h.c. Gert Miller (CEO) get to know Prof. Ing. Ladislav Skýva, DrSc., who represents the University of Žilina at the conference. Subsequently, they begin to communicate intensively, make reciprocal visits and establish close cooperation, which resulted in the establishment of the Slovak company Dopravné systémy Scheidt & Bachmann s.r.o. in 1995.

Establishment of a branch

The first employees of company Dopravné systémy Scheidt & Bachmann s.r.o. are two university graduates who wrote their diploma theses in Mönchengladbach. Their first office was a converted cloakroom in the premises of the University of Žilina. Ing. Róbert Kulla and Ing. Ján Krúpa are still the Managing Directors of the Slovak branch, and the intensive cooperation between the company and the University of Žilina continues till these days.

Opening and closing the IT centre

We converted a former production hall on Priemyselna Street in Žilina into a modern software and testing centre. Colleagues from the Parking Solutions and Fare Colection Systems divisions, who had been working at various locations within Žilina, moved there. Finally we have all our development teams under one roof. However, it won't take long. On the 16th of October, a fire swept through the IT centre and destroyed it. Reconstruction starts again and the teams move again. We also open a software branch in Košice.
