HISTORY
REHAU’s history begins in 1907 with the “Frankische Lederfabrik REHAU Plastiks GMBH”. In its current form it was founded in 1948 in the Bavarian town of Rehau by Helmut Wagner with only 3 employees and 1 extrusion machine, but with a visionary spirit and entrepreneurial courage in the difficult post-war period. It quickly developed into an international leader in the provision of polymer-based solutions and with the aim of promoting innovations that offer unique customer benefits. Today the management of the group is in the hands of the brothers Dr. Veit Wagner and Jobst Wagner and for better management and development of each different product use, it is divided into individual sections.
