In December 2023, REHAU celebrated 75 years in business. REHAU has grown from a family-owned company into today's family of companies that continues to invest in sustainable growth.
The year-long celebration is dedicated to exploring the company claim "Engineering progress. Enhancing lives." and to uniting employees around the globe in a common experience.
“REHAU is now celebrating its 75th anniversary,” says Dr. Thomas Troeger, CEO, REHAU Americas. “Together with our customers, suppliers and employees, REHAU is looking back and drawing inspiration from the pioneering spirit and visionary power of our founder. But above all, the group is looking forward to how we can create even better experiences for our customers.”
REHAU's journey
Today, the REHAU Group is an international family of companies with 190 locations, more than 20,000 employees and an annual turnover of about $5 billion. With Meraxis, REHAU New Ventures, RAUMEDIC, REHAU Automotive and REHAU Industries, the company unites five subgroups under one roof.
REHAU says the recipe for success is a pioneering spirit, a strong value-based foundation and the ability to adapt. In addition to thinking outside the box, the group's DNA includes a balance between experience and courage to take risks coupled with the will to continuously develop.
"Change provides fertile ground for new ideas and innovations that make us competitive in the long term," says Dr. Veit Wagner, president, REHAU Group.
REHAU's future
Moving forward, the focus is on attractive markets with growth potential. The company is currently expanding in Africa, where it recently acquired a South African company, and in Mexico. As a further milestone in internationalization, REHAU opened a production facility for the furniture industry in December 2023 in order to meet the increasing demand for REHAU products in North and Central America.
REHAU says it is working with a strong compass toward a sustainable and innovative future.
