Roskopf Vulkanisation

What Roskopf Vulkanisation does

Roskopf Vulkanisation GmbH, operating as Roskopf Unternehmensgruppe, is a privately held German industrial OEM and services company founded in 1960 and headquartered in Aachen, Germany. The company operates two divisions: Schüttguttechnik (bulk material handling), which designs and manufactures custom conveyor systems, automatic sampling systems, and sample dividers for heterogeneous and homogeneous bulk materials; and Industrieservice (industrial services), which provides vulcanization, maintenance, steel construction, industrial assembly, production support, and multi-year outsourcing contracts. The group comprises three entities: Roskopf Vulkanisation GmbH, Roskopf Personalservice GmbH (worker leasing), and Roskopf Maschinen- und Metalltechnik GmbH (steel and mechanical engineering), all under the leadership of CEO Meike Jungbluth with approximately 165 employees.

The company's proprietary product portfolio includes a full range of sampling technologies (drawer, linear, rotating arm, striking arm, auger, tilting pan, piston, pendulum chute, plate, and rotation dividers) designed for different material types and pipeline/belt configurations, with normative compliance to DIN 51701 for solid fuel sampling. It holds certifications including DIN EN ISO 9001:2015, DIN EN 1090 EXC3, DIN EN ISO 3834-2, and SeSaM. The Vulcanization division operates 24/7 emergency repair services with on-site material stock.

Roskopf generates revenue through five primary streams: (1) OEM equipment sales (one-time project-based), (2) industrial maintenance and repair services, (3) production support via long-term worker leasing (Arbeitnehmerüberlassung), (4) multi-year outsourcing contracts particularly in power generation, and (5) certified steel construction. Distribution is through direct enterprise field sales, project inquiry forms, and trade show presence (SOLIDS premium partner, POWTECH). The company is heavily concentrated in the Rheinische Revier region, serving power generation, bulk material handling, and industrial manufacturing clients with a horizontal segmentation approach. It is undergoing a strategic pivot from coal-fired power generation toward substitute fuels and recycling materials while investing in regional innovation networks (Mine ReWIR, digitalHUB Aachen, TIAF-AC).
