www.roehm.biz

We see the past and future as being inseparable.

The company has enjoyed a very lively history. From the very beginning, our self-image has always involved impor-

tant values such as quality, customer proximity and innovation as well as an awareness of our responsibility and

tradition. As such, the eventful history of RÖHM is particularly one of a courageous and forward-looking founding

family of entrepreneurs, which has always been committed to the future.

In todays's fast-paced world, those who have a reason to celebrate a 100-year jubilee can be rightly proud. All of the

numerous bygone years have been characterised by ups and downs, economic hardships and periods of prosperity as

well as opportunities and threats. Above all, the years show that a lot of things were done correctly, that company -

strategies bore fruit and that the management and staff delivered first class work over the whole period. In this

spirit, we are happy to celebrate the jubilee and we look forward to the next 100 years of RÖHM.

6 History

In the 100 years of RÖHM's history, much has happened and changed. The company was established and then

developed further – new production areas, modern manufacturing plants, relocation and additional sites as well

as a management change with new strategies and visions. One thing however has remained the same:

The successes of RÖHM and its customers.

RÖHM over the course of the years.

Business developed well, both home and abroad. With the construction of the company's own hardening shop, the production facility was expanded further.

Expansion of the production plants

The year of the company's foundationHeinrich Röhm founded the company in Zella-Mehlis, Thuringia. First of all, two-jaw drill chucks were produced. In the following year, 1910, the first patent was filed; improved drill chucks.

During this year, RÖHM started the production of key-type drill chucks; the first company in Germany to do so. To satisfy the needs of the market, high performance drill chucks, lathe chucks, quick change chucks and pressure reading patented live centres round off the range.

First production of key-type drill chucks

6 History

With the founding of the branch factory in Dillingen/Danube, it was possible to meet the constant increase in demand for products 'Made by RÖHM'.

The two operations in Ohrdruf and Warnsdorf were bought and incorporated into the company.

In addition, a 40 m conveyor belt for the production of drill chucks was put into service. With 1,500 employees, this makes RÖHM the most modern and strongest provider in the sector.

The branch factory in Dillingen/Danube

RÖHM grows continuously

Without capital and without a plot of land, the company was set up again from scratch. First of all, childrens' toys were made from plywood and wood waste in a leased carpentry. With the production of rock drills, a change was quickly made again to the business of metal machining. In autumn, a barrack was constructed on the newly purchased land – the basis for today's RÖHM factories.

RÖHM founded foreign distribution- and service establishments in England, Denmark, Brazil, Switzerland, Italy, the USA, France and Spain. The company is now present all over the world and as such, is always near to customers.

Foundation of RÖHM's distribution- and serviceestablishments

Foundation of RÖHM's site at St. Georgen – our experts in the field of clamping mandrels.

The new high-tech forge in St. Georgen Since 1995, the RÖHM group has been certified in

accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001. The first class quality standards which had always applied in the company were now officially confirmed.

First certification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001

By constructing a 8,600 m2 production hall at the headquarter in Sontheim, capacity has been expanded for future requirements.

Development of the international presenceThe new manufacturing bases in the Slovakia and India as well as the joint venture in China are the latest steps that the company has taken in order to be better, faster and more efficient. At the same time, the developments represent the clear international orientation of the group.

In the1,650 m2 production hall, two portal turning and milling machines were commissioned which were specially adapted to RÖHM's require-ments. This allows workpieces to be machined which have diameters of up to 4 metres and weights of up to 25 tons.

Construction of the new production hall in Dillingen

By means of the 55 m long and 12 m high automated warehouse for small parts with its 11,000 bin locations, RÖHM will satisfy the trend towards ever shorter life cycles and tight target deadlines. Using the cross company process, we directly supply our clients around the world from our headquarter in Sontheim.

Commissioning of the Automated Small Parts Warehouse in Sontheim

Today, across the world, around 1,500 employees produce top quality clamping tools - from the smallest drill chuck to the most high-tech power-assisted clamping device. This makes RÖHM one of the most important international providers – a claim that is supported by many satisfied and successful customers around the world.

A global player in the field of clamping technology

After 99 years at the helm, the management of the 'RÖHM' family business was passed to the external Managing Director Dr.-Ing. Michael Fried. By doing this, the Röhm family imple-mented the decision which was adopted by the partners in 2007 in order to withdraw from the operative side of the business. The family still jointly decide on the fortunes of the estab-lished business as shareholders and members of the advisory board.

Change in the management

Sontheim/Brenz

8 RÖHM worldwide

We definitely consider the German sites in Sontheim, Dillingen and St. Georgen as the centre of our operations.

But it is only when the individual sites around the world are joined together that a strong unified body is formed:

The RÖHM group.

Many different sites make up a group: RÖHM.

Our headquarter in Sontheim/Brenz | Sontheim is where RÖHM's main factory is located. The highly modern 41,000 m2 manufacturing facilities offer optimum conditions. In the future, these facilities will enable us to deal with the enormous range of demanding construction and production tasks in a way which is better, faster and more efficient.

Thanks to the excellent infrastructure and transport routes available, this location is ideal for a company relying on perfect product quality as well as maximum flexibility. Furthermore, the region around Sontheim offers another key basis for the success of our company: it is rich in quality awareness and motivated employees with the result that we are ideally prepared for the challenges of the future.

Dillingen/Danube St. Georgen

The Dillingen/Danube site | This branch plant in Dillingen was put into operation by the RÖHM Group as early as 1953. Thanks to extremely positive development, the plant is subject to constant expansion and modernisation. For this reason, new modern production facilities were built in 1982 and 1991. In 2007 RÖHM built a new production hall for two portal turning and milling machines. This enables machining of workpieces with diametres of up to 4 metres which will secure a leading market position for the RÖHM brand in the future. Today, more than 300 employees are primarily involved in engineering and manufacturing lathe chucks, machine vices and special clamping equipment for turning and milling machinery as well as for machining centres.

The St. Georgen site | The St. Georgen site is a small, yet acomplished high-tech forge. In addition to standard clamping mandrels, this is where tailor-made solutions are developed for a wide range of different requirements. RÖHM retains mechanical or power-operated mandrels, sliding jaw mandrels and hydraulic mandrels for its customers for clamping workpieces in drill holes or inner contours.

10

Always close to our customers. With locations all around the world. Customer orientation at RÖHM has less to do with marketing than with attitude. We consider customer proximity as an intensive dialogue with our partners as well as direct presence on key international markets. Together with the German sites - Sontheim, Dillingen and St. Georgen - the interna-tional sites from Brazil to China and from India to the USA make up the global world that is the RÖHM group.
