ROHR Spezialfahrzeuge GmbH

ROHR Spezialfahrzeuge GmbH is a German commercial vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Straubing, Bavaria. The company traces its origins to a smithy founded in Straubing in 1850. In 1945, master smith Adalbert Rohr senior built the first agricultural trailer, and in 1962 the company produced its first tank vehicle. The product range was expanded in 1972 to include insulated box body vehicles, and since the partial takeover of the aircraft refuelling vehicle manufacturer Kroll in 1995, ROHR has also manufactured aircraft refuellers. Since 2006, the company has also produced military tankers for the German armed forces (Bundeswehr). ROHR specialises in the development and manufacture of refrigerated box body vehicles and tank vehicles, but also produces special vehicles for agricultural transport and live animal transport. Its refrigerated box body vehicles serve German food retail groups, its road tankers are used for mineral oil and heating oil distribution, and it supplies the Bundeswehr with military tankers, including the heavy road tanker 8x8 (FSA). The Straubing operation employs around 180 people. In early April 2016, Rohr Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH filed for insolvency. In the course of the proceedings, it was taken over by the Austrian Kässbohrer Transport Technik and renamed Rohr Spezialfahrzeuge GmbH. Today the company operates as part of the Kässbohrer Group and continues to serve customers in Germany, Switzerland and other European markets, with a product portfolio that includes refrigerated vehicles, road tankers, aircraft refuellers and military tankers, alongside vehicle refurbishment, customer service, spare parts and a service network.

The history of ROHR Spezialfahrzeuge GmbH begins in 1850 with the founding of a smithy in Straubing, Bavaria. In 1945, master smith Adalbert Rohr senior built the first agricultural trailer, marking the company's entry into vehicle manufacturing. The first tank vehicle was produced in 1962, and in 1972 the product range was expanded to include insulated box body vehicles. In 1995, the company partially took over the Hamburg-based aircraft refuelling vehicle manufacturer Kroll, after which aircraft refuellers were also manufactured at Rohr. Since 2006, military tankers have been produced for the German armed forces (Bundeswehr). Over the decades, Rohr established itself as a manufacturer of temperature-controlled box body vehicles for German food retail groups, tank vehicles for mineral oil and heating oil distribution, and a supplier of military tankers to the Bundeswehr, including the heavy road tanker 8x8 (FSA). The Straubing operation grew to employ around 180 people. In early April 2016, Rohr Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH filed for insolvency. During the insolvency proceedings, the company was taken over by the Austrian Kässbohrer Transport Technik and renamed Rohr Spezialfahrzeuge GmbH. Under the Kässbohrer Group, the company continues to develop and manufacture refrigerated box body vehicles, road tankers, aircraft refuellers and military tankers, as well as special vehicles for agricultural and live animal transport. The company remains headquartered in Straubing and serves customers in Germany, Switzerland and other European markets.
