Raschig AG
Fritz RASCHIG, an enthusiastic chemist, took the leap to independence in 1891. The town Ludwigshafen granted his application to set up a chemical factory. Apart from the actual distillation of tar products, he intensively researched methods for the preparation of pure tar components, such as anthracene, carbolic acid, and benzene. In fact it was his untiring efforts to solve the purification problem which led to the discovery of the revolutionary”RASCHIG Ring”- a milestone in process engineering.
By then, the course was clearly defined:
Whether specific problems require a solution or raw materials need processing, RASCHIG is always the best choice. This specialization has continued to be one of the entrepreneurial pillars of RASCHIG up to this very day - continously confirmed by innovative and pioneering developments. In the mid-90s, the family business was taken over by the California-based entrepreneur, Philip E. Kamins who integrated the company into a network of highly specialized, internationally operating companies. This vital decision contributed essentially to safeguarding RASCHIG’s future in an environment which is characterized by increasing competition. Additionally, this step promoted the implementation of a new company structure. Its goals, apart from a continuous development of the core activities of the company and of its product lines, are: further globalization, improved customer-orientation and an approach which is geared to changing market conditions.
The activities in the fields of”Chemicals”,”Plastics”,”Road construction”and in the sector”RASCHIG Ring”will be concentrated in powerful and efficient units. Highly qualified staff guarantees that we will continue to provide the quality and service for our customers which they expect of us.
