Rothoblaas slr

Rothoblaas is an Italian multinational company that designs, manufactures and distributes high-tech solutions for construction — in timber and beyond — and for safe work at height. Founded in 1991 by Robert Blaas, the company has Alpine roots and describes itself as an Italian multinational with an active presence in more than 70 countries. Peter Lang later joined the company, contributing to its growth and eventually becoming a partner. The company's construction offering spans fastening, airtightness, waterproofing, soundproofing, passive fire protection, building envelope and safety at height, as well as machinery, equipment and technical consultancy. It also supports hybrid construction systems that combine different materials to maximise their strengths and deliver efficient performance. Its stated goal is to improve performance, safety and installation times. Rothoblaas works alongside engineers, designers, carpenters and installers at every stage of a project, from design through to installation. The HOLZ TECHNIC brand completes its offering with a dedicated range for distribution and technical hardware. The company also runs training and knowledge programmes such as TEEW (Timber Engineering Education Week) and publishes technical resources such as SMARTBOOK guides. Its product catalogue is organised into categories including fastening (screws, brackets and plates, CLT floor-column connections, epoxy adhesives, outdoor connectors, anchors for concrete and timber-to-steel connections), fire protection (intumescent products, firestop collars, fireproof sealants, foams, tapes and gaskets) and safety-at-height equipment such as the HERO safety helmet and BORDER aluminium railings. Rothoblaas is also involved in European research projects including MEZeroE, WOODCIRCLES and MULTICARE, reflecting its positioning around sustainable and innovative timber construction.
