RHT Happle

RHT Happle is a German business-to-business wholesaler specialising in hygiene supplies and cleaning solutions, based in Bavaria and serving customers throughout Germany. The company operates as an owner-managed family business and describes itself as a personal partner rather than a mere supplier, combining a traditional regional wholesale model with a modern online shop. Its roots reach back decades: the business began as a hygiene sales operation founded by Gerhard Bauer in Grafing, selling folded paper towels, liquid soap and dispenser systems. It was later taken over by Hans Lechner and then by Josef Hufsky, who established the RHT brand — standing for Reinigungsmittel, Papier-Hygiene, Geräte-Technik (cleaning agents, paper hygiene, equipment technology). In June 2022 Florian Happle became owner, and the business was renamed RHT Happle, with the stated aim of pairing the established personal service with modern structures and a clear service focus. The product range covers hygiene paper (folded hand towels, toilet paper, cleaning rolls), cleaning accessories (mops, cloths, brooms, wiping systems), dispensers and systems for paper, soap and disinfection, and disinfection and skin-care products for surfaces, hands and instruments. The online shop lists more than 500 articles with live prices, purchase on account for existing customers, and delivery within one to five working days. Shipping is free from 99 euros net. The company positions itself on personal advice, fair pricing and reliable delivery, with a named contact person rather than a call centre or ticket system. RHT Happle serves commercial customers across Germany, from regional businesses to supra-regional clients, and presents itself as a B2B specialist retailer for hygiene requirements and cleaning solutions. Its self-description emphasises practical, everyday-suitable recommendations rather than the most expensive or cheapest option, flexible supply and predictable delivery routes. The company maintains a physical presence in Bavaria and an online channel, and it markets itself with a Google rating and a long track record of experience. Ownership is private and the business remains owner-managed under Florian Happle.

The origins of RHT Happle lie in a hygiene sales business founded by Gerhard Bauer in Grafing, Bavaria. This original operation sold folded hand towels, liquid soap and dispenser systems. The business was subsequently taken over by Hans Lechner and later by Josef Hufsky. Josef Hufsky established the RHT brand, which stands for Reinigungsmittel (cleaning agents), Papier-Hygiene (paper hygiene) and Geräte-Technik (equipment technology). According to the company's own account, Hufsky remains part of the team as a service driver in field sales. In June 2022, Florian Happle became the owner of the business. Under his ownership the company was renamed from RHT to RHT Happle, with the stated ambition of combining the proven personal customer care with modern structures and a clear service focus. The company describes itself as an owner-managed family business with decades of tradition and a genuine understanding of the requirements of regional and supra-regional customers. RHT Happle has reconstructed its own history in a distinctive way: in April 2026, according to its website, an original Bauer dispenser was discovered by chance in the Palaeontological Collection of the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), still hanging there with a four-digit telephone number from a period before the German Federal Post Office had extended the area code. This anecdote is used by the company to illustrate the age of its roots. Today RHT Happle operates as a B2B wholesaler for hygiene supplies and cleaning solutions, serving businesses throughout Germany. It runs an online shop with more than 500 articles, live prices, purchase on account for existing customers and delivery within one to five working days, with free shipping from 99 euros net. The company emphasises personal contact — a named contact person rather than a call centre or ticket system — and practical, everyday-suitable advice. Its product range spans hygiene paper, cleaning accessories, dispensers and systems, disinfection and skin care, and cleaning chemicals and consumables.
