What Röntgen Plus does

Röntgen Plus s.r.o. is a Czech Republic-based precision band saw blade and cutting tool manufacturer, operating as a private limited company (s.r.o.) headquartered in Prague at Přátelství 550, Praha 10. The company traces its heritage to 1848 when Peter Wilhelm Röntgen founded the original German production company; the Czech entity was established in 1994 by current owner Carl Thomas Röntgen together with CONTAX s.r.o. as a joint venture (originally RÖNTGEN CONTAX s.r.o., renamed to Röntgen Plus s.r.o. in 2002). Röntgen Plus manufactures band saw blades, circular saw blades, frame/grooving saw blades, knives, and band knives serving four primary verticals: woodworking, metalworking, stone processing, and food processing. Core products use premium steel grades from Böhler-Miller-Uddeholm (including UHB 15, UHB 15N 20, and proprietary designations such as CR-100swedish, CR-200extra, CR-300special, CR-400PREMIUM, CR-400Xtreme, CR-100MEAT, and CR-800MEAT-INOX), with specialized tooth geometries for each material category. Manufacturing is performed on precision equipment from Vollmer, Iseli, and Ideal, governed by the proprietary CARL RÖNTGEN quality control system covering material inspection, tooth configuration, weld inspection, and alignment checks.

The company operates a direct sales model with website-based product inquiry forms for custom orders, complemented by trade show participation (including LIGNA Hannover 2009) and downloadable technical documentation. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of blades (sold by meter in rolls or as welded endless bands) plus accessories (lubricants, welding supplies, tensionmeters, sharpening tools) and professional services including on-site maintenance and customer training. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers engage via inquiry forms, with some products carrying an action price list (excluding VAT). Röntgen Plus serves the domestic Czech market and exports to Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, and former Yugoslav countries, with a stated employee count of 1-10. The business remains family-owned under Carl Thomas Röntgen, representing the fifth generation of the Röntgen family in saw blade manufacturing, with no external institutional investors or parent company.

Direct peers

• BI-Metal saw blade manufacturers (e.g., Eberle, Starrett): Specialist European manufacturers of bi-metal and carbide band saw blades for metalworking. Direct competitors to Röntgen Plus's metal-industry product line.
• Lenox (Stanley Black & Decker): One of the world's largest manufacturers of band saw blades, circular saw blades, and bi-metal cutting tools for industrial users. Direct overlap with Röntgen Plus across wood, metal, and general industrial cutting applications, though at vastly larger scale.
• MORSE (MK Morse): US manufacturer of band saw blades, hacksaw blades, and bi-metal cutting products. Overlaps with Röntgen Plus across the metal-cutting band-saw segment.
• Bahco (SNA Europe): Premium European hand-tool and band-saw blade manufacturer serving woodworking, metalworking, and industrial cutting customers. Comparable in heritage, European distribution, and premium steel-grade positioning to Röntgen Plus.
• Simonds International: US-based saw blade and cutting tool manufacturer with a long history serving wood, metal, and food processing industries. Overlaps with Röntgen Plus on band-saw blade SKUs for sawmill and food applications.
• DoAll Company: Band saw machine and blade supplier serving industrial metalworking and woodworking customers. Comparable core offering of band saw blades with adjacent sawing machines.
• Wikus-Sägenfabrik: German mid-market manufacturer of band saw blades for metal, wood, and food applications. Closely comparable in product breadth (multi-industry bi-metal and carbide blades), geography (Central Europe), and family-company heritage.

Others

• Böhler-Uddeholm (voestalpine): Supplier of the high-grade tool steel that Röntgen Plus uses as input. Material supplier rather than competitor, but a strategic relationship that shapes Röntgen Plus's premium positioning.
• Vollmer Werke: Manufacturer of the sharpening and finishing machines Röntgen Plus uses in its production line. Equipment supplier and indirect partner in the saw-blade value chain.

Broad incumbents

• The L.S. Starrett Company: Diversified precision tools and saw blade manufacturer with much broader product portfolio (measuring, metrology, hand tools). Competes with Röntgen Plus in metal-cutting band saw blades but offers a much wider range of industrial consumables.
