Viessmann Generations Group

As a globally active, independent family business in its fourth generation, we have been shaping living spaces for generations to come since 1917. Under the leadership of Max Viessmann, we pursue our mission with a long-term perspective and entrepreneurial spirit.

Today, the Viessmann Generations Group supports over 30 mid‑sized companies and family businesses across Europe and the US as well as a broad real assets portfolio – all united by their active contribution to the energy transition. We invest capital, expertise, and passion in three core impact areas:

• Climate : Renewable energy, carbon reduction, and green infrastructure
• Water : Solutions for water scarcity, quality, and efficiency
• Food : Sustainable agriculture, supply chain innovation, and food technology

Our goal: to create impact – ecological, societal, and entrepreneurial.

The Viessmann Way supports how we work, lead, and create value together - whether as a team member, entrepreneur or partner in our ecosystem. It is not a rulebook, but a compass: a living set of principles shaped by over a century of entrepreneurship and guided by our long‑term purpose.

Generational Portfolio

Through Generational Investments, we pursue long‑term, cross‑generational commitments in real estate, forestry, regenerative agriculture, and renewable energy. These assets directly advance our purpose: co‑creating living spheres for generations to come.

We act as both investor and steward, combining financial return with ecological and societal benefit. Our real estate projects prioritise energy efficiency, community well‑being, and the responsible use of resources. In forestry, we invest in sustainably managed forests that sequester carbon, protect biodiversity, and contribute to ecological balance. In agriculture, we support regenerative practices that restore soil health, enhance biodiversity, and strengthen resilient food systems.

This role sits at the heart of that mission, contributing to the stewardship and growth of Viessmann’s long‑term asset base with impact and intention.
