What Romakowski does

Romakowski GmbH & Co. KG, doing business as ROMA, is a third-generation, family-owned German manufacturer founded in 1948 in Buttenwiesen, Bavaria, producing factory-made metal-faced sandwich panels for industrial, commercial, agricultural, and cold-storage construction. The core product line comprises PIR (polyurethane) and mineral wool wall panels (Types P, M, FP, FV, AFP), roof panels (Types D, RD, FD, Trapez DUO 062), and prefabricated cold-store and deep-freeze cells, all manufactured on two continuous double-band lines installed in 1973 and 1990 with a combined capacity of 400,000 m² per year. Notable technical differentiators include a proprietary double tongue-and-groove joint with labyrinth effect for air-tight construction, the ROMA5 BMB biomass-balance foam system (first-to-market integration of BASF's TÜV Nord-certified method delivering approximately 50% CO2 reduction), the ROMAplus 50 µm corrosion-resistant coating, and the ROMAplast sealing system for cold-store air tightness. U-values down to 0.1 W/m²K are achievable with 220 mm insulation thickness, with mineral wool variants meeting A2-s1,d0 fire classification.

Romakowski commercializes through direct enterprise field sales organized by German region (Northwest, Southwest, Central-South, Southeast) and international contacts covering Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, EU, Canada, USA, and Asia, complemented by an inside-sales team for cold-store cells, doors, and chambers via phone and email. The company attends major DACH trade fairs (DACH+HOLZ in Cologne), runs webinars such as the ROMA Panel Master 3.0 series, and maintains a BIM-Solution-Finder and digital design tool (Panel Master 3.0) to support architects and engineers. Revenue streams are hardware-led: sandwich panel sales and cold-store cell/door/chamber sales, bundled with technical consulting and static calculations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company holds ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certifications, CE marking under EN 14509, the German Ü-Zeichen (Z-10 4-549), LEED/BREEAM documentation support, and country-specific certifications for Switzerland, Austria, France, Czech Republic, Poland, Netherlands, and Canada. Headcount is reported at 251–500 employees, no public revenue is disclosed, and ownership remains entirely with the Romakowski family under General Manager Dieter Romakowski.

Core offering

Romakowski manufactures and sells factory-made sandwich panels (PIR and mineral wool variants) for industrial, commercial, and agricultural construction, along with prefabricated cold store and deep-freeze cells, industrial room doors, and acoustic wall panels. Products include wall panels (Type P, M, FP, FV, AFP), roof panels (Type D, RD, FD, Trapez DUO 062), and modular cold rooms with PIR insulation thicknesses from 45 to 220 mm achieving U-values down to 0.1 W/m²K.

Product overview

ROMA offers a comprehensive sandwich panel construction system for insulation and cold store applications. The product portfolio includes PIR (polyurethane) and MW (mineral wool) wall panels (Types P, M, FP, FV, AFP) and roof panels (Types D, RD, FD, Trapez DUO 062), all featuring the ROMA5 foam system with optional BMB (Biomass Balance) sustainable variant. The Type P and M wall panels offer visible and concealed fastening options respectively, while FP/FV panels provide fire-resistant mineral wool cores. Cold store construction utilizes PIR Type P panels with insulation thicknesses from 45-220 mm achieving U-values of 0.1 W/m²K. ROMA also manufactures modular cold store cells, industrial doors, and offers the digital Panel Master 3.0 tool for structural pre-dimensioning. The 75-year-old family company operates from Buttenwiesen, Germany, serving industrial, commercial, agricultural, and cold storage sectors worldwide.
