The history of our company goes four generations back and has its roots in the tradition of the metal industry of Siegerland (Germany). The founder of the company, Robert Thomas, began its activities with tool and die making for the local industry at the beginning of the last century. The range was later expanded to include sheet metal products for storage and transportation, such as boxes and containers as well as trucks.

At the beginning of the 1930-es, the company entered the electrical appliance market, which today is supplied with the products of the Thomas product range with worldwide success.

Rotho is the brand which has stood for the internationally-renowned, top-of-the-range program of system components for cost-effective drying systems for the ceramics industry and racking systems for the concrete block industry for over 50 years.

Experience gained from over 10 000 projects in international plant building and the development of system solutions such as Quatro, Quickpoint and MobilSystem based upon fundamental research extending to earthquake-proof hardening systems with special surface treatment justify the absolute confidence of the building materials sector.

The best references are long-established, worldwide, positive business relationships.

Rotho is the family company and the major supplier in the building materials sector. Skilled, highly-motivated staff provides the guarantee of innovation and reliability.

Rotho produces drying and curing systems for such industries:

QuickPoint:

The pinnacle of all our experience.

QuickPoint is the result of comprehensive tests and consistent development work. The innovative supporting system for drying roof tiles, QuickPoint is setting the completely new technical standards in respect of both the drying, design and production processes.

Mobilsystem:

Extremely fast drying.

MobilSystem is the innovative setting system for the rapid drying of roof tiles. MobilSystem is setting the completely new technical standards in cost-effective drying, in respect of both drying time and drying quality, as a result of comprehensive fundamental research and consistent implementation in process engineering.

Dryers:

The new generation of dryers.

The latest generation of Rotho Quatro dryers is the proof of our commitment to development work.

Quatro is the completely new development which creates superior conditions for the comprehensively reliable drying process.

Drying cars:

More than 10 000 drying cars over a total of 35 years and almost 400 000 meters of systems installed in tunnel and chamber dryers in the last ten years alone speak for our experience — and make us just a little proud.

High durability, precision running, long life and low weight distinguish Rotho drying cars.

Pallet systems:

Rotho design for flat tile trays.

Airy, light and durable.

Over 1.5 billion flat tiles are dried on Rotho drying trays throughout Europe every year, whether on individual frames or units. The same basic objectives, set out below, are applied to every design: the right concept for each project, maximum air permeability of the tray system and the circulation around the shaped products as nearly uniform as possible, optimum use of space for maximum stacking, and the greatest possible form stability at the lowest intrinsic weight.

Brick industry:

• Pallet systems;
• Dryers;
• Drying cars.

Concrete block industry:

• Noise prevention:
  
  

  Noise prevention systems — functional, quick installation and custom made.

  The self-supporting Rotho system leaves enough room for tailored designs of machine paneling. The tried and tested sandwich elements guarantee outstanding properties, particularly in the critical lower frequency range.

  Components with different acoustic properties are available to meet different requirements.

• Racking systems:
  
  
  

  The right solution for every application.

  The basic system consists of hot-dip galvanized steel sections. State-of-the-art cold forming ensures maximum precision, load capacity and stability. Bayonet and threaded connections facilitate fast, reliable assembly. Its tried and tested statics have proved their worth even in earthquake-prone areas.

• Pallet systems.

Concrete roof tile industry:

• Racking systems;
• Pallet systems.

We are seeking for new business partners on the territory of CIS countries.
