Rosenbauer International AG

The new Welcome Center of Rosenbauer Karlsruhe in Germany can already be seen from far away in the city and from the busy highway that runs through Karlsruhe. At night, the striking Rosenbauer lettering now sparkles above the rooftops of Karlsruhe. Over the last 15 years, Rosenbauer aerial ladders and hydraulic platforms have become the technological and market leader in the industry. The innovations, which are important aids for fire departments in their daily work, have made the equipment from Karlsruhe the top choice. Rosenbauer Karlsruhe’s new Welcome Center Rosenbauer has invested a great deal in its products and in the modernization of production Rosenbauer has invested a great deal in its products and, above all, in the modernization of production. Highlights include the robot-supported ladder welding shop, the paint shop powered by district heating, and the state-of-the-art production line. The concept of sustainability has always been at the forefront, and the site on ‘Carl-Metz Strasse’ is already CO2 neutral. To underline this technological leadership and to develop the environmental concept further, the decision was made to build a new Welcome Center, which includes a delivery hall, a training center, and a modern office building based on ‘New Work’ concepts. To make efficient use of the limited space, the office wing was placed above the 10-meter-high delivery and training hall. Previously, there was a purely administrative building dating back to 1901, which fell far short of today’s energy standards. Integration of the main areas The integration of the three areas brings customers and employees closer together. Looking out of the window or walking through the hall, their employees can now see the fire departments picking up their vehicles or completing a training program. Work cafés, a roof terrace, and a picnic area at the front of the building promote dialog between the various groups and among the employees, of course. Customers experience the Rosenbauer spirit and can both see and feel it. The furnishings meet their functional quality standards and demonstrate confidence and a down-to-earth approach. Office zone for Rosenbauer’s sales department It was particularly important for them to accommodate all customer-related areas on the 3rd floor. In addition to two large meeting rooms for order discussions, with appropriate facilities, there is an office zone for Rosenbauer Germany’s sales department, as well as for project managers, sales support, product management, and order planning. Products are becoming ever more complex and delivery times ever shorter Products are becoming ever more complex and delivery times ever shorter. Most of their orders are individual vehicles with customized equipment. This requires close integration of the teams that are directly involved in this ‘order processing value creation chain’. The office wing was designed so that these areas are close together on two floors. A centrally located stairwell keeps distances short, and the work cafés facilitate spontaneous meetings. Building featuring work cafés Of course, a cup of coffee is also always welcome. Employees who don’t want to go to the canteen can eat the meals they have brought with them in the work cafés in a convivial atmosphere together with their colleagues, and thereby promote communication. For anyone who wants to hold a meeting or work on a project in private, they can retreat to the soundproof booths provided for this purpose. Meeting rooms With advanced communication technology The meeting rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art communication technology and can be booked directly via a booking system. A small display on the meeting room door indicates occupancy. Appointments between meetings can be booked directly on the display. In these times of skills shortages, this building is attracting a great deal of attention in the region and underscores their commitment to high-quality jobs. The building attracted a great deal of interest even during the construction phase. Since the Rosenbauer lettering has been emblazoned on the roof, inquiries have mushroomed. Last but not least, it is a clear indication of their appreciation and a thank you to their team for the many years of loyalty, passion, and performance that have made them the globally renowned company for aerial rescue.

Rosenbauer introduces the RTE FX 750, a new hollow jet nozzle designed for high flow rates, complementing the previously released RTE FX 400/475 and RTE FX 230/235 products. This completes the high-end RTE FX series, offering nozzles with flow rates ranging from 40 to 750 l/min, suitable for every firefighting scenario. These nozzles are consistently operable, optimized for long throw distances, and built to withstand extreme conditions due to their robust construction and materials. Ideal for exterior attacks The RTE FX 750 is also perfect for preventing fire spread and establishing fire barriers The RTE FX 750 is the nozzle for medium to large fires, with a maximum flow rate of 750 l/min, approaching the performance of portable monitors. It achieves the longest throw distances in the RTE FX series, ranging from 39 to 50 meters. This allows firefighting to be carried out from a safe distance, and the RTE FX 750 is also perfect for preventing fire spread and establishing fire barriers. As with all RTE FX nozzles, a slide valve ensures an excellent spray pattern in any situation. The adjustable flow rate (360 to 750 l/min) allows flexible responses to changing firefighting challenges. Each Rosenbauer RTE FX nozzle is available in versions compliant with EN 15182 and NFPA 1964 standards. All-rounder for all types of operations The RTE FX 400/475 is the all-rounder in the Rosenbauer nozzle range. It excels in both interior and exterior attacks, with flow rates of 130 to 400 l/min (EN) and 115 to 475 l/min (NFPA), making every operation manageable. The innovative Fast-Attack design aligns the control surfaces for flow and spray pattern automatically in the starting position for interior attacks, intuitively understood by the nozzle operator. The haptic perception of cubic design allows proper handling even in zero-visibility conditions, reducing training requirements and preventing operational errors. In this Fast-Attack position, the medium spray pattern is preset, offering an ideal balance of throw distance and spray width for interior attacks, optimal for smoke cooling. Tailored for interior attacks The RTE FX 230/235 is the optimal tool for interior attacks – lightweight, handy The RTE FX 230/235 is the optimal tool for interior attacks – lightweight, handy, maintenance-free, and easy to operate. It can produce an extremely wide spray to protect advancing attack teams from intense heat, while the full jet ensures maximum accuracy over longer distances. The spray head on all nozzles in the RTE FX family is so robustly designed with a fixed gear rim and a built-in spring that it can be used to break windows (RTE FX absorber). A protector also absorbs any energy applied to the ergonomically designed handle, which is optimized for use with gloves. The clutch valve can be rotated and is available in all common variants. RTE FX jet pipes made from high-quality materials Only high-quality materials such as anodized aluminum and stainless steel are used in the construction of the RTE FX jet pipes. The uncompromising technology, with slide valve and innovative Fast-Attack design, ensures safe, efficient, and effective firefighting. The new RTE FX 750 nozzle can be ordered immediately - also via the Rosenbauer online store, with deliveries starting at the end of June. All other nozzles from the proven SELECT FLOW series, as well as the high-pressure NEPIRO and special PRO JET nozzles remain available.
