They range the Process Engineering Division was from the provision of small quantities transformed into an independent company, of packing for laboratory experiments, Rauschert Verfahrenstechnik GmbH. to the construction of complete, turnkey plants for environmental applications 2005 Rauschert Verfahrenstechnik GmbH of industrial dimensions. However, was separated from the Rauschert Group regardless of the size of the order, and continued operations as part of the we focus on meeting the customer’s Kober Group, founded by Rainer Kober. requirements. 2008 This development became visible when the company was re-named RVT Process Equipment GmbH. 2013 Management buyout: the families Geipel and Rüger take over RVT Process Equipment GmbH. Throughout its history and to this day, RVT has remained a medium-sized family business that is conscious of its roots and its responsibility in the region. Long-term plans for company development therefore take precedence over short-term decisions. Our products – all you need for mass transfer
