Roth Plastic Technology

What Roth Plastic Technology does

Roth Plastic Technology is a German specialty plastics manufacturer and development partner headquartered in Dautphetal-Wolfgruben, operating as a branch (Zweigniederlassung) of Roth Werke GmbH within the family-owned Roth Industries GmbH & Co. KG conglomerate. The company runs plastic injection molding presses up to 7,500 kN clamping force with multi-component capability, in-house brush manufacturing (Beborstung) using its patented RoAn-Technology on Beborstungsmaschinen including the newer BFK2 model (~60% higher output, up to 900 bundles/min), and full assembly services. It complements manufacturing with product development, 3D prototyping, technical workshops, and complex engineering calculations, positioning itself as a one-stop system supplier from initial sketch through serial production. The firm has maintained CO2-neutral production (Scope 1 and 2) since 2017 and holds IATF 16949 ("Best in class" in 2026) and EMAS certifications.

The company sells primarily into home technology and household appliance manufacturers needing bebristled plastic components and complete assemblies, with secondary segments in defense (Hannover Messe Defense Production Area 2026) and broader industrial manufacturers requiring plastic parts and engineering support. GTM is direct enterprise field sales with quote-based custom pricing; go-to-market channels include LinkedIn, the corporate website, and trade shows such as Hannover Messe, K-Messe Düsseldorf, and ISH Frankfurt. Roth Plastic Technology benefits from intra-group synergies with sister company Roth Composite Machinery, which developed and supplied the BFK2 machine, and is led by Gesamtleiter Sebastian Herrmann, with authorized managing director Christin Roth-Jäger representing the Roth family ownership. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, revenue is not disclosed, and the company operates as a private, non-listed subsidiary with no fundraising activity on record.
