Rausch

What Rausch does

Rausch International Group GmbH is a privately held German industrial manufacturer specializing in modular systems for sewer and pipeline inspection and trenchless rehabilitation. Headquartered in Weißensberg with an additional engineering and robotics service site in Immenstadt, the company produces TV inspection systems with high-resolution (including Full HD) cameras, push cable camera systems (minCord and mC series), modular crawler systems (M-series) with wireless quick-connect couplings that allow main and lateral inspection in a single pass, attachable milling robots (Fräsroboter) for robotic pipe rehabilitation, UV curing systems for trenchless liner installation, and leak testing systems. Manufacturing depth exceeds 90% in-house at the Weißensberg facility, covering the full value chain from R&D and software development through electronic and mechanical production and final assembly.

The company serves two primary customer segments: municipal infrastructure operators responsible for sewer networks and canal service companies that perform inspection and rehabilitation on behalf of municipalities. Rausch generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of capital equipment, supplemented by companion software (Rausch Viewer App, minCam Viewer V2, and the newly launched Rausch Connect platform) that integrates and manages inspection data across the equipment fleet. Distribution is handled through a direct sales team with named regional representatives covering Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, wholly-owned subsidiaries in the USA and UK, and a network of partner companies and service points in additional international markets.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales combined with a strong event-driven motion: Rausch maintains an active presence at major European industry events including IFAT Munich, InfraTech Essen, Carrefour de l'Eau, the Cycl'Eau series, the Oldenburger Rohrleitungsforum, Wiener Abwassertage, and Tag der Kanalreinigung, while using its website for product information, downloadable catalogs, and lead generation. Recent strategic activity includes the 2024 introduction of the RRcure 3000 V shaft rehabilitation system and the 2025 launch of the Rausch Connect platform, alongside a 2024 rebrand of subsidiary minCam into Rausch Electronics GmbH and an executive leadership transition installing Andreas Zwißler as CEO and Stefan Keck as COO.
