50 years of innovation

The extrusion technology, which has been continuously developed over the years, is one of the strengths of Rosendahl. A second large step, in 1971, was the introduction of the SZ-stranding technology, which since then has been implemented in a large number of lines. The technological development in foaming and in the fibre optic segment encouraged Rosendahl to enlarge its product range to serve the evolving market. Later, RF welding and corrugation technology solutions were developed, completing Rosendahl’s current area of expertise. The opening of the facilities in Pischelsdorf, Austria, in 1973 enlarged Rosendahl’s manufacturing capacity. Increasing demand also led to continuous expansions of office and production facilities on site and throughout the world. In 1997, Rosendahl became a member of the globally active Knill Group. In 2005 Nextrom became part of the group and together with Rosendahl conjointly serves the market with its technology. Today, the group is among leading global suppliers of fibre, wire and cable manufacturing solutions. Rosendahl continues to invest in its facilities and in technological development. Currently, the group operates in more than 100 countries, with offices in five locations – Austria, USA, Russia, India and Hong Kong. Rosendahl Maschinen GmbH – Austria Fax : +43 3113 5100 59

Ongoing development and technological progress are the fundamental values of Rosendahl’s 50-year history. Within those 50 years, Rosendahl has grown to a global supplier of manu- facturing technology for the production of power, automotive and fibre optic cables, RF, datacom and coaxial cables. In 1959 Walter Rosendahl had the ambition to become a high-tech cable equipment manufacturer, for a variety of industries. Mr Rosendahl worked hard on his first developments in various segments and he managed to achieve the goals he had in mind by 1965. A historical milestone was the development of the first extrusion line.
