Rothschenk

What Rothschenk does

Rothschenk (legal entity G&H GmbH Rothschenk) is a privately held German manufacturer founded in 1996 and headquartered in Aub, Bavaria, where it operates its own production facility at Industriestraße 5 & 7-10. The company designs, produces, and sells load-securing (Ladungssicherung) systems for cargo transportation across containers, trucks, manufacturing/packaging lines, and product protection applications. Its portfolio spans container lashing systems (White Lash, Red Lash, Pro Lash Tec, Pro Lash Flex, Full Safety, S.A.M. reefer retention), inflatable dunnage bags (White Line, Red Line, Pro Line, Pro Line Spezial), tensioning straps (Zurrgurte, Ergolash, Dynello accessories), anti-slip mats, edge protectors including a TÜV Rheinland-certified mushroom-cut cardboard variant, and battery-powered cordless tensioning devices (LT38e, ST25e). Notable technical differentiators include CTU Code-compliant certified products, reproducible preload force on battery tensioners via torque preselection, and double-chamber plastic edge protection for heavy palletized loads.

The firm's go-to-market combines a direct e-commerce shop at rothschenk.de (with tiered unit, package, and pallet pricing, free shipping above €100) for SMB and self-service buyers, alongside an outside field sales force (Außendienst) that handles enterprise customers, custom solutions, and on-site training. Revenue streams include one-time product sales across B2B and B2C channels plus professional services for VDI 2700 / CTU-Code training, road and brake tests, and individual product development consulting. Customer segments are organized horizontally by use case (container shipping & logistics, road transport, manufacturing & packaging, product protection), and the website is localized into German, English, Dutch, Polish, Czech, and Slovak, indicating active sales into the DACH region, Benelux, and Central Europe. The company is led by Managing Directors Thomas Lorenz and Torsten Urban.

Rothschenk differentiates on the basis of in-house German manufacturing under modern quality controls, a broad single-source product range covering the full load-securing workflow, professional consultation and certified training services, and a strong compliance stack including DIN ISO 9001:2015, EMAS, EcoVadis Platinum (2025), and product-level TÜV Rheinland certifications.
