Rasch

What Rasch does

Bevent Rasch (operating as Rasch) is a Swedish family-owned manufacturer of ventilation components for commercial and industrial buildings. The company develops, produces, and sells a broad portfolio that includes fire dampers (led by the OPTIMUS60 circular CE-marked EI60S-rated damper with a factory-mounted safety actuator), rectangular and circular sound absorbers, roof hoods, grilles, VAV/CAV flow measurement valves, dampers and measurement valves, duct components, air handling units, and commercial kitchen ventilation hoods. Customers are ventilation contractors, installers, and the commercial/industrial building projects they serve across Sweden and Norway, with secondary exposure to industrial facilities such as food processing and manufacturing plants requiring specialized exhaust and grease removal.

The underlying product technology is mechanical and certification-driven rather than digital. Notable technical features include the OPTIMUS60 fire/smoke damper architecture, a transition to Magnelis coating for outdoor products for improved corrosion resistance, an upcoming transition to SIOX material for products from May 2026, and EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification for grille products. Manufacturing is anchored at the Motala production facility in Sweden, with additional sales, marketing, and support offices in Borås (headquarters), Stockholm, Örnsköldsvik, and Malmö in Sweden, plus Oslo in Norway.

The business model is a sales-led B2B hardware model. Products are sold through direct phone and email sales via six regional offices and a dedicated e-commerce platform (e-handel). Pricing is quote-based (no public list pricing) and all products carry a 5-year warranty — described by the company as a deliberate challenge to industry-standard warranty norms — valid under AB04 and ABT06 construction contract terms. The company is family-owned (familjeägda) with no external investors or parent company identified, enabling long-term capital allocation but limiting growth capital access.
