RAPA is a company with a long tradition and a forward-looking orientation. RAPA’s success story began as early as 1920 – and in a very manageable way. In Selb, at Badershof, the technician August Pausch founded a small handicraft business together with the merchant Hans Rausch. Their abbreviations “Ra” and “Pa” also gave the company its name.
Â
From generation to generation
But it did not stop there. From small beginnings, RAPA has evolved from generation to generation, expanding its product portfolio and entering new markets. Internationalization has also been driven forward. At the company headquarters in Selb, the administration, production and logistics are housed on a 45,000 square meter site. In the meantime, RAPA is active nationally and internationally and is present with a plant in North America and its own sales office in China. Thus, since 1920, RAPA has successfully grown from a traditional family business to a global medium-sized company with almost 1000 employees worldwide. Nevertheless, RAPA is and remains an independent family business already in its fourth generation and is 100% family-owned. This ensures that RAPA is inseparably linked to the Pausch family of entrepreneurs. Dr. Roman Pausch manages the family business in dual leadership together with Karin Wolf, who is responsible for commercial matters. The management duo takes care of the company’s fortunes, in particular its further development, future strategies and visions.
