Building on the success of past events, Rotzler is eager to share its latest advancements and invites clients, partners, and industry leaders to join in shaping what’s next.
A legacy of excellence and global reach
Since its founding in 1919, Rotzler has transformed from crafting agricultural tools to becoming a pioneer in winch technology. Now in its third generation of family leadership, the company has grown from a European-focused business in the 1960s to a global enterprise with operations in North America, South Korea, India, and beyond. Its worldwide presence ensures Rotzler stays close to its clients, delivering tailored solutions for cranes, recovery vehicles, and defence applications that meet both local and international demands.
Customer-centric innovation at its core
Rotzler’s philosophy begins with the customer. Unlike others who may focus solely on technical details, the company prioritises the application, designing solutions that tackle specific challenges, whether in the harsh conditions of marine environments or the critical needs of military operations. This customer-first approach, combined with Rotzler’s agility and commitment to innovation, enables it to deliver products that exceed expectations and enhance the performance of its clients’ systems. The company’s ability to adapt quickly and customise solutions distinguishes it in the industry.
Pioneering products for the toughest challenges
Rotzler’s product portfolio reflects its dedication to engineering excellence. The TREIBMATIC winch remains an industry benchmark, setting the standard for safety and reliability in recovery vehicle applications. Its TARVOS pulling winches and TITAN hoisting winches offer unmatched precision and durability in demanding conditions. Following its celebrated debut at Eurosatory 2024, the ROTZLER APEX®️ Control System Platform is transforming defence logistics with its advanced electronics and software capabilities. This groundbreaking system, alongside Rotzler’s new TARVOS winch line and high-performance snatch blocks, underscores the company’s commitment to pushing technological boundaries.
Quality without compromise
Quality forms the foundation of Rotzler’s work. Rooted in Germany’s tradition of precision engineering, every product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure flawless performance in the most challenging environments. From design to delivery, Rotzler maintains the highest standards, partnering with suppliers who share its dedication to excellence. Whether powering defence missions or heavy-duty recovery operations, Rotzler’s winches and systems are built to deliver reliability and longevity when it matters most.
A global partner with local expertise
With strategically located branches worldwide, Rotzler is more than a supplier—it is a collaborative partner. Its local presence allows the company to deeply understand its clients’ needs, fostering strong relationships built on trust and mutual goals. From its headquarters in Steinen, Rotzler integrates global insights to create solutions that resonate locally and internationally. This approach drives the company’s robust export operations, enabling it to deliver tailored products efficiently across diverse industries and regions.
Sustainability as a guiding principle
Sustainability lies at the heart of Rotzler’s mission. The company has embedded environmental, social, and governance principles into its operations, focusing on energy efficiency, resource optimisation, and waste reduction. By engaging its employees, suppliers, and communities, Rotzler cultivates a culture of continuous improvement, creating long-term value for its stakeholders and the planet. Its commitment to responsible innovation ensures a positive contribution to the world.
