RÖDERS.
The company.A look back at more than 150 years of experience.
Tradition meets innovation.
For more than 150 years, Soltau-based RÖDERS has been a leading, globally renowned supplier to the market for innovative solutions in felt.
We began in 1851
as a department of the bedspring manufacturer Carl Breiding & Sohn responsible for wool felt production.
In 1922
the change to a separate company took place, when we assumed our current name: Gebr. RÖDERS AG.
Since that time we have concentrated on manufacturing high-quality wool felts.
In 1966
our product range was expanded to include needle felts.
In 1972
the production of the first filter felts was derived.
Then in 1986
we patented the manufacture of needle felt liners for trenchless pipework rehabilitation.
Our mission statement.
The aim of our mission statement is to communicate to all stakeholders the principles, actions and intentions behind our mutual success.
Quality is always in some way connected to management.
We were one of the first production companies in the industry to gain DIN EN ISO 9001 certification. With this, we have made a name for ourselves in recent years as a dependable industry partner for the development and manufacture of highly specialized textile applications.
Continuing investment in equipment and ongoing education and training of our employees form the basis of quality, market-oriented products.
In our in-house laboratory, alongside intensive testing of our manufactured goods and new developments, we also carry out tests on behalf of our customers.
We make an effort – for our environment.
All our objectives, processes and functions are oriented to the requirements of our clients, and here we take our responsibility for sustainable production very seriously.
We use exclusively certified green electricity throughout the entire production and have also installed a waste minimization system that guarantees to optimize the saving of resources.
Nor does our responsibility towards the environment end with the production system; it also extends to our project-related research work with higher-education institutions and our active participation in EU environmental protection projects.
Further, thanks to a cross-partner quality assurance system we assure an absolutely minimal susceptibility to error and thus an assured, sustainable rehabilitation outcome for pipework network operators.
We make an effort – in associations
