The Roto company group – market leader for over 70 years
Philosophy
Windows and doors open up rooms and at the same time offer protection. As far as Roto is concerned, window and door hardware, that is to say the interface between inside and outside, is only a means to an end. Our objective is to offer today’s homeowners greater added value when it comes to their windows and doors.
For this reason we at Roto continue to develop solutions that intelligently combine security, energy management and comfort for the home. What if you could live in a world where windows opened and closed automatically, controlled the air-conditioning and central heating, or reported attempted break-ins directly to an alarm control unit? Roto offers you the means to do this today.
We are internationally renowned for manufacturing innovative, customised and secure solutions in international architectural hardware technology. Our hardware is developed by a team of designers and engineers who rank among the best.
However, to ensure continued success on the international market further qualities are needed: experience, confidence, curiosity, determination, vision, drive, creativity, knowledge and ability. We
believe that Roto has these qualities. Find out more about our company on this website.
History
Like many of the world’s successful companies our history begins, with the name of an individual, in our case Wilhelm Frank.
His ideas, for example the first industrially produced Tilt&Turn hardware in 1935 or the retractable loft-ladder, transformed him into a pioneer. Our company founder was a classic Swabian inventor. Under his direction and that of his immediate successors, Roto developed from being a one man operation to an international concern.
Wilhelm Frank’s wife, Mrs. Elfriede O. Frank, also played an essential role in the company’s development. Through her active cooperation and her positive charisma, Mrs. Frank had a major influence on the company’s spirit.
Roto has grown solidly ever since and has never been the subject of takeovers or frenzied managerial policies and misguided initiatives. Tradition and progress stand side by side.
Roto has been able to stay one step ahead of the competition for decades. Why could that be? Perhaps ingenuity is catching.

Products
Commitment, professional expertise and an obsession for precision are the driving forces behind our work. We would not be the international leader of the hardware technology market that we are today, had we not been responsible time and time again for setting the standards for over 70 years.
For instance, the Roto NT Tilt&Turn hardware system that has once again redefined hardware technology in Europe, or the RA 2000 espagnolette system that meets the increasing demands in China with regard to window dimensions, insulation and security.
Whether with regard to Tilt&Turn, Outward Opening or In-line Sliding windows and doors, we aim to achieve the maximum benefit for our partners in all our developments. We adapt our concepts to take into account the objectives and possibilities of our customers in their respective countries. Because optimal solutions can only be found through cooperation with partners.

Innovations
Make life easier for everybody by breaking down barriers – this is just one of Roto’s visions. As pacesetter in the field of innovative window technologies, Roto believes that its future lies in producing
an intelligent combination of security, efficiency and comfort.
For this reason we develop products which control ventilation and temperature and optimise energy management. Front doors that do not require a cylinder or a key. Security systems that practically
cover each and every individual security requirement – preventive or active, mechanical and electrical.
Who shoulders the responsibility for our common welfare and the environment?
Future generations are counting on us to think and act in a sustainable manner. The protection of resources and the recycling of materials used in the manufacturing process are just a
few examples of what we can do. We also undertake to safeguard and create jobs.
We subscribe to the motto: integrated planning, implementation, continuous improvement. Because he who does not think of tomorrow today, has already missed out on the future.
