History of the RAMPF Group
The history of Rampf GmbH is a gripping tale of inventive spirit – you couldn't make it up if you tried! From the early 1980s to the present day, the company has been shaped by entrepreneurial courage, technical know-how, and some great success stories:
Added. Value(s).
Fairness, trust, mutual support, recognition, sustainability, and a commitment to mutual respect that is born out of flat hierarchies – The RAMPF Values are firmly anchored in our corporate philosophy, which determines how we work together and the way we present ourselves to the outside world.
Company founder Rudolf Rampf established these values, and they also form the basis for the corporate activities of his sons and successors, Michael Rampf and Matthias Rampf.
The RAMPF Values are universally valid for all employees, no matter which country, company or department they work in.
The trusting relationship we have with our customers, suppliers, and partners is a vital part of the long-standing success story of our family-owned company. We know that only reliable partnerships are successful in the long run.
Matthias and Michael Rampf,
CEOs of RAMPF Holding
Recognition
Regardless in which company, country, or department we work: We all have good reason to be proud of our achievements and of the Group. Each and every individual counts. Because everyone’s abilities and knowledge are part of our success.
Sustainability
Sustainability in business means improving the living conditions of the current generation without compromising the future of generations to come. That is why we are committed to an environmentally responsible production and adhere to the highest quality standards.
Furthermore, we place great value on long-term partnerships and sustainable employee development.
Commitment
To develop tomorrow’s solutions today, our employees need to stay one step ahead. For this they require state-of-the-art workplaces as well as high-quality work clothes that ensure safety and protection.
Trust
At RAMPF, we are always open and honest with each other. Because honesty breeds trust and forms the basis for positive, successful working relationships.
Fairness
We treat each other and our customers, suppliers, and partners with respect and decency. Together we set our goals – together we achieve them.
Support
We invest in our skills and knowledge, we take responsiblity, we expect and encourage great achievements, and we support talents.
Corporate Citizenship
Rudolf Rampf Foundation
Corporate citizenship – more than just a buzzword. The RAMPF Group is well aware that a company does not operate in a vacuum and takes very seriously the need to act responsibly.
In 2001, it set up the Rudolf Rampf Foundation to support the young people of Grafenberg in their sporting, musical, and other activities. To date, the foundation has provided more than 40,000 euros of funding.
Sponsorship
Passion, dedication, team spirit, excellence, fair play – that is what we identify with. And that is why, as a sports partner, we support both professional and amateur clubs, including handball, soccer, and tennis.
Protection of the environment
Environmental protection and the conservation of finite resources have played an important role at our company from day one. Rudolf Rampf set a milestone with the invention of the first polyurethane board for model making.
One aim of this development was to replace ornamental wood types such as mahogany with plastic in order to avoid further depletion of the world’s forests.
Since then, the company is constantly evaluating if technical and economic measures can be taken in the interests of environmental protection.
Commitment to sustainability
Sustainable management is a matter of course for RAMPF. As a family-run business, we pursue the goal of being economically successful and always acting in an ecologically and socially responsible manner. Bringing this claim to life is not just up to management – at RAMPF, all of us act as one.
Product stewardship
Environmentally compatible product design is a mainstay of our efforts to achieve sustainability. An important aspect when developing each new product is to determine whether it can contain a certain percentage of recycled polyol.
Where economically feasible, we also consider developing a custom-made recycling polyol – depending on the anticipated annual purchase quantity.
The use of renewable raw materials is becoming increasingly important, too. Instead of looking to synthetic chemicals, preference is given to sourcing natural oils (such as castor oil) as the basis for our products.
Responsibility toward our employees
In its role as a family-run company and employer, RAMPF always strives to be a reliable partner and aims to create the best possible working conditions for employees.
Our comprehensive occupational safety concept is based on a holistic view of the work system in place that covers all the relevant technical, organizational, and HR aspects involved in optimizing safety.
Acting responsibly means taking a preventive, systematic, and comprehensive approach to all aspects of safety. This is the only way of identifying, evaluating, and eliminating risks. It involves, for example, designing fault-tolerant plant and equipment that prevent errors and minimize downtime. Safe operation of equipment at our production facilities is ensured by written instructions, training measures, and practical drills.
