Today it was announced that Prins Staal from Haarlem and De Boer Staal from Uitgeest are joining forces and moving forward together.

With this acquisition, ROTO Group is strengthening its market position in the field of steel processing.

Every accident is one too many. At ROTO we are keen to continuously improve our safety culture. With the help of dss+ we will eventually be able to report a safety index of zero throughout all Business Units.

We at ROTO believe that together we can make a change. Our strength is based on our united efforts across all the ROTO Business Units. This also applies to our sustainability ambitions. In this article, we will give some updates on our efforts towards the above-mentioned Sustainable Development Goals.

All members and stakeholders within the ROTO Ecosystem have an interest in ROTO and directly affect, or are affected by, each other. Hence, they all pursue added value for their collective goals. This is why we believe that we should take good care of this ecosystem and its stakeholders. In this article, we will give some examples of how we do this.

The family of our Business Units keeps on growing, but sometimes our own family at the ROTO headquarters grows a little bit too. We are happy to announce two great additions to our ROTO team: Guus & Jacqueline. In this article, we gladly introduce them to you.

Not only at ROTO, but also at our Business Units there are several efforts for a more sustainable environment and future. One of them is Prestia. In 2023, they will optimize a very sustainable process that has been going on since 2016: methanization to generate not only green electricity, but also heat for the Prestia SBG pre-treatment baths.

An important topic within sustainability is the continuous development of our family members. But how do they develop themselves? We’ve asked a few of our ROTO family members to talk about this topic. One of them is Patrick de Portzamparc (working at Prestia Holding), who keeps developing himself in new fields such as finance, IT, management and HR.

An important topic within sustainability is the continuous development of our family members. But how do they develop themselves? We’ve asked a few of our ROTO family members to talk about this topic. One of them is Michal Adamczewski, Operational Manager in powder coating at Rotocoat Wolvega.

All of our Business Units have their own identity. They focus on their core business and operate autonomously. At the same time, they are part of our Family Group and find it important to work together as ROTO in this group.

We are a Colourful Family Group, which means that “Colourful” is an important topic for us. It refers to the diverse and colourful activities our Business Units engage in: steel and steel processing, grating technology, surface treatment and zinc recycling. But it also refers to our ROTO work force.

‘Sustainable’ is not the first word that comes to mind when thinking about the metal industry. We are committed to change that. As ROTO, we have taken a first step towards this goal by integrating the Sustainable Development Goals into our core themes and translating them into KPIs.

Our Business Units have contributed to several projects that needed a strong and reliable material to save and preserve the construction. For these projects it was necessary to choose metal as other materials simply didn’t meet the requirements.
