This is the best possible way to prepare the company for a future as the official Hidden Champion of the 21st Century. The RUD Think Tank Our RUD hoist chains, mountable lifting and RUD conveyor systems guarantee quality, innovation and safety for lifting, pulling and conveying applications. Our robust RUD and Erlau anti-skid chains are combined with innovative mounting systems to allow for safe driving when there is snow and ice on the road, and even in the toughest of terrains. RUD Innovation Strategy RUD is setting new technological standards. Our products combine the latest technology with clearly defined environmental management. This means that we are continuously growing while consistently conserving the resources that are required for that growth. We always strive for perfection and view the goals we have reached as the basis for new visions. RUD Erlau tyre protection chains are used to protect the tread and sidewalls of tyres on earth-moving vehicles. The Erlau outdoor furniture series combines elegant seating with attractive design. Our Erlau Human Care products, safety rails and grab rail systems for sanitary facilities, offer both flexibility and individuality.

3 TECDOS Conveyor and drive technology for the maritime environment 3 TECDOS - conveyor technology For decades, RUD has been an experienced supplier of conveyor technology in the bulk materials industry and in coal-fired power plants.
