The RAUCH success story
Innovative agricultural technology since 1921
"The future is a given, however, any progress we make is down to us."
2023
RAUCH fulfils a dream as the new administration building on Victoria Boulevard E 200 in Rheinmünster becomes a reality. The old site in Sinzheim has been vacated, a significant milestone in RAUCH's history, and the move serves to increase efficiency and create a pleasant, ecological working environment. After 16 months of construction and an investment of €8 million, the administration building is located directly next to the production facility, which improves co-operation and future prospects.

The ground-breaking ceremony for this project was held on 29 March 2022.
