German automation component maker founded 1972; supplies linear units, lifting columns, aluminium profiles and tube connectors to 400+ employees globally.
RK Rose+Krieger GmbH is a German manufacturer of automation components and system solutions headquartered at Potsdamer Strasse 9, 32423 Minden, Germany. The company was founded in 1972 by Friedhelm Rose and Harald Krieger, initially specialising in industrial tube clamping systems. It is now a subsidiary of Phoenix Mecano AG, a globally operating Swiss group listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
RK Rose+Krieger employs over 550 staff worldwide, approximately 210 of whom are based at the Minden headquarters. The company offers an extensive catalogue of automation technology components spanning four main product lines: Linear Technology, Profile Systems (BLOCAN aluminium profiles), Tube Connecting Systems, and Modular Technology.
The Linear Technology range includes electric linear units driven by spindle, timing belt, or rack-and-pinion mechanisms; electric lifting columns for height-adjustable workstations and ergonomic applications; and electric cylinders as alternatives to pneumatic or hydraulic actuators. Stroke lengths are configurable to customer requirements, and the range covers applications from simple manual adjustment to high-dynamic precision positioning in multi-axis systems.
The BLOCAN aluminium profile system allows stable, versatile machine frame construction without drilling or machining of profiles. Tube connecting systems in plastic, aluminium, and stainless steel provide flexible, reusable connections for square and round tubes across light to heavy load applications. The Modular Technology division offers integrated assembly solutions including LEAN workstations, pick-to-light stations, poka-yoke systems, cobot-integrated assembly workstations, and safety guard enclosures compliant with EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
RK Rose+Krieger serves markets including mechanical and special-purpose engineering, packaging, intralogistics, medical and pharmaceutical equipment, and clean-room applications. The company operates a test laboratory and infomobile service vehicle for on-site consultation. Products are distributed globally through the Phoenix Mecano network and regional representatives in Europe, Australia, and beyond.
The company holds ISO 9001 quality management certification and maintains compliance documentation for RoHS, REACH, conflict minerals, and dual-use export regulations.
