Rolatast

What Rolatast does

Rolatast (legal name: ROLATAST Kereskedelmi és Szolgáltató Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság) is a privately held Hungarian Kft. founded in 2004 and headquartered in Érd, Hungary. The company operates as the exclusive Hungarian representative for ten German precision machinery and peripheral equipment brands serving metalworking applications: CHIRON GROUP and STAMA (machining centers), SAACKE and TTB (tool grinding), BAHMÜLLER and GEIBEL & HOTZ (workpiece grinding), FRIES (cleaning baskets/workpiece holders), LPW (precision cleaning systems), PCG (carbide raw materials), REVEN (aerosol separators), and ZOLLER (tool measurement). Customers are Hungarian manufacturing companies requiring precision metalworking capabilities for complex components in automotive, aerospace, medical, and general industrial applications.

The company's core offering combines equipment distribution with turnkey manufacturing solutions and official brand service. Rolatast provides application engineering to match German machinery capabilities to customer-specific production requirements, integrating equipment selection, process optimization, and after-sales support. The technology stack is the represented machinery itself (e.g., CHIRON 5-axis FZ/DZ machining centers, STAMA milling-turning centers, LPW CNp cleaning technology, REVEN X-CYCLONE separators), rather than proprietary Rolatast-developed technology. The company holds ISO 9001 quality management certification from CertUnion.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time equipment sales of German machinery brands, professional services for turnkey solution design and integration, and hardware-based aftermarket service and spare parts. Pricing is quote-based with multi-year contract cadence typical of B2B industrial capital equipment sales. Distribution occurs via direct enterprise field sales across Hungary, supplemented by a channel partnership with ACR Consulting for integration services. Marketing is conducted through trade show participation (MACH-TECH 2026, EMO Hannover, AMB Stuttgart), the rolatast.hu website, industry media partnerships (Autopro, CNC média, NEW technology, Techmonitor), and social media presence.
