Röders today – three business fields
Röders GmbH is a company based in Soltau (Lower Saxony) that has existed for over 200 years and is family-owned in its sixth generation, diversified across three business fields. The company manufactures ultra-precision milling and grinding machines with in-house control, drive and mechanical engineering development, enabling tolerances down to the sub-micrometer range and, through high-speed machining, the shortest production times; more than 3,500 machines are installed in over 50 countries. In blow mold manufacturing, Röders produces well over 5,000 blow molds per year, in particular for PET bottles, using self-developed production technologies and automation, with very short delivery times. The third business field comprises lead-free pewterware crafted with artisanal workmanship and timeless design. Production takes place at the headquarters in Soltau.
