BUILDING SOLUTIONS: As a leading supplier of polymer-based solutions to construction, REHAU systematically addresses sustainable design priorities by enhancing comfort and convenience, reducing energy costs, creating healthy and safe environments, and conserving finite resources. REHAU’s products and systems for the window and door, heating and plumbing, and pipe markets complement each other in integrated solutions that optimise performance.
Founded in 1948 in the Bavarian town of Rehau, the company found many opportunities to replace traditional materials with more effective, polymer-based materials. Initial products included shoe welting, garden hose and automotive components.
In 1962 REHAU opened its first UK Sales Office and warehouse in Slough, Berkshire, a sales office in Manchester followed in 1969.
With REHAU UK's continuing expansion, this lead to the opening of 2 production facilities, Almlwch in 1975 and Blaenau Ffestiniog in 1979. The expansion lead to the relocation of the UK Head Office to Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire in 1995.
