When ambition became reality.
The early 1990s: a small, bold start-up in Spaichingen, brimming with ideas. 1994: the move to the Boxberg industrial park. March 1995: provent becomes ruck Ventilatoren and builds the first company-owned warehouse. 1996: establishment of in-house sheet metal production. Quality, control, responsibility in our own hands. Then, in 1998, the next leap forward. 3D CAD and almost 3,000 m² of production space. In 1999, the decision was made: our own series of products. Focus on building ventilation, supply and extract. In 2000, development of the first flat air conditioning unit. Our own name. Our own solutions. Growth not as a goal, but as a consequence of our ambition.
From the garage to the world!
2004 saw the founding of ruck Ventilatoare in Târnăveni (Romania), with responsibility, commitment and an eye for what is feasible. In 2005, the ETALINE series brought efficiency at its best, combining effectiveness with precision. In 2007, Boxberg grew to 12.500 m², providing more space for radical thinking and new approaches. In 2010, we launched our plastics production and expanded our international expertise, remaining flexible, forward-looking and always in the flow.
Shape technology, expand horizons.
We launched ETAMASTER in 2013, the plastic successor series to ETALINE. Responsibility drives us forward. In the following years, Romania grew to 15.000 m². Continuous expansion of vertical integration and product range. ruck UK followed in 2016, and the new order picking hall in Boxberg in 2017. Logistics reimagined. In 2019, ruck AirMovement Inc. opens up new horizons in the USA. In 2020, Romania doubles again to 30.000 m². Commissioning of the high-bay warehouse redefines high-tech warehousing. Milestones in manufacturing and product development with the major ETA and ROTO expansions, as well as the AXIALINE, a series of medium-pressure fans with variable blade angles.
Experience that shapes the future.
From generation to generation, with trusted values and a clear vision for the future. We look back in order to move forward consciously: respect for the people who make it what it is. Taking responsibility, shaping progress. The generational change is in full swing – fresh ideas meet experience. And while we gain new perspectives, innovations such as the VENTURION series, which also marks our entry into a completely new business area, remain a central part of our further development. Attitude and experience are our guiding principles, enabling us to turn the past into the future.
