What Rausch does
Rausch International Group GmbH is a German industrial manufacturer specializing in CCTV inspection systems and leak testing equipment for optical pipe and sewer inspection, with operations consolidated under the RAUSCH umbrella brand. Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Weißensberg, Bavaria, the company employs 51–100 people and operates additional facilities in Immenstadt. Its customers are primarily European municipal wastewater utilities and specialized trenchless rehabilitation contractors responsible for maintaining buried wastewater infrastructure.
The company's product portfolio spans the full wastewater infrastructure workflow and comprises seven core technology lines: TV inspection systems (TV-Inspektionssysteme) for visual assessment of pipe condition, sealed leak testing systems (Dichtheitsprüfsysteme) for integrity verification, pneumatic milling robots (Fräsroboter Luftmotor) for in-pipe rehabilitation, UV curing systems for liner installation in trenchless repair, push cable systems (Schiebesysteme) for small-diameter pipe access, crawler carriage systems (Fahrwagensysteme) for larger-diameter pipelines, and broader robotics. The portfolio is engineered to function as an interoperable ecosystem rather than discrete products, and the company holds a BSFZ (Forschungszulage) research allowance certification indicating ongoing R&D activity.
Rausch operates a sales-led go-to-market with two regional offices — Weißensberg and Immenstadt — each maintaining dedicated service departments per product vertical with separate phone contacts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated primarily through capital equipment sales as integrated technology solutions, with multi-year contract cadences implied by the dealer portal and service structure. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with a "Vertriebspartner" dealer/reseller network, supported by a multi-channel digital presence including LinkedIn, Xing, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, an email newsletter, and an English-language corporate website (rausch.international) targeting international audiences.
