History
The history of ROWEKO
Founded in 1984 by Werner Selle, ROWEKO has grown from a small workshop in Bietigheim-Bissingen into a leading provider of plastic solutions for the commercial vehicle sector. The relocation to Lauffen am Neckar in 1989 marked the beginning of a phase of steady growth and technological innovation. The introduction of new product lines, investments in advanced manufacturing technologies such as CNC milling centers and thermoforming machines, and the expansion of production capacities have all shaped the company’s development. Today, ROWEKO stands for quality, innovation, and custom solutions – proudly “Made in Germany.”
