Anyone who approaches the “Im Gries” industrial area in Marktrodach from Zeyern via the “old” connecting road has been familiar with the RVT factory for a long time. The halls are to the right and left of the street, and there are packing boxes and bags around the halls. Now a new building is being erected: a modern company headquarters with a canteen, training and meeting rooms, and plenty of space for 100 office employees. The new project unites all company buildings into one location. So far, only the production halls were located in Marktrodach. Administration and development were located in Steinwiesen. This changes now. RVTplans to relocate the entire RVT company to Marktrodach by the end of 2021. The move coincides with the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the GmbH in 1996. If the pandemic allows, this will also be celebrated next year with an open house for the new building.
There are good reasons for this step.
“The main reason why we are completely relocating our company to Marktrodach is simply that, first of all, we have everything in one place, thus there is no constant back and forth. In addition, we will finally have the space for the rooms that we need, ”says managing director Dr. Christian Geipel. “A total of nine million euros will be invested in the move from Steinwiesen to Marktrodach. That's a pretty big investment for a medium-sized family-owned company. ”Part of that goes into expanding production for new machines and tools. But the majority of the sum invested will go into the new building. Of course, the offices are not only moving, they are also being extensively equipped with the latest technology. A lot has happened in corporate IT over the past two years. These developments also takn into account in the new building. Wood belongs to the Franconian Forest and that is why the building is constructed using wood. Only the floor slab is concrete, otherwise mostly wooden elements are used. Built in an environmentally conscious manner, this also includes a modern heating system with heat pump technology and a modern photovoltaic system on the roof. In order to keep up with the times in the field of mobility, six charging stations for electric cars are already firmly planned in front of the building.
Investing in the future is how the three owners and managing directors Werner and Christian Geipel and Herbert Rüger see the project of relocating and centralizing their company. A new storage area, parking spaces and green areas are planned for the outside area between the existing factory halls and the new building. Since the entire administration will move into the new building, there will also be free rooms in the factory halls that are urgently needed.
The medium-sized company has no production facilities that “normal” citizens would and can buy. RVT Process Equipment is a company that offers processes and solutions in the chemical, pharmaceutical and environmental technology sectors that make customers' manufacturing processes more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. These customers, e.g. BASF, Linde, ThyssenKrupp, Novartis and Shell, operate worldwide. RVT is also represented internationally with its branches in China, USA, Singapore and Great Britain. The company is active worldwide and has a cross-sector customer base. Of the total of approx. 200 employees, 150 are employed in Steinwiesen and Marktrodach. RVT is a company that is not a pure manufacturing company, but also understands research and development. There are currently four research projects funded by the federal government or the EU with various industrial partners, as well as universities and research institutions.
RVT Process Equipment is also a future-oriented training company. This year we are looking for trainees as industrial clerks, technical product designers, warehouse logistics specialists, warehouse clerks, construction mechanics and process mechanics. Good training in an ambitious company offers trainees many opportunities in their further working life. In addition, the company is always looking for qualified employees. At the moment, we are especially looking for qualified employees in the commercial area and IT. It is definitely worth taking a look at the company's career pages on the Internet.
