Under the motto "Now more than ever", the companies are not only measured by economic key figures, but viewed as a whole. The creation of jobs and apprenticeships, as well as social commitment in the region and society, play a major part even in times of corona. 



On behalf of the company and the entire staff, RSG owner and managing director Dr. Andreas Ecker thanks Mrs. Petra Hetzel of the BVMV, the Federal Association of Medium-sized Businesses, Entrepreneur Association of Germany e.V., who had nominated RSG at the Oskar Patzelt Foundation.

RSG Automation Technics is the world market leader of customized special facilities for fully or semi-automatic processing of narrowband textiles.

In 2020 alone, RSG doubled the size of the company and 15 new jobs were created at the Bietigheim site. Since 2021, RSG also provides training in various professions.

The family-run, traditional company, founded almost 40 years ago, has been working for years to ensure that the processing of textile products is increasingly taking place again in Europe and other high-wage countries. The machines of RSG offer solutions for effective and sustainable production even at sites with high labor costs.
