The Rheinzink GmbH & Co. KG (proper spelling: RHEINZINK) is an international company of the Grillo Group . At the Datteln site , the company produces titanium zinc , a raw material for the manufacture of roof, facade and roof drainage products as well as for cladding components that are used for comprehensive fire protection.
history
Rheinzink was founded in 1966 by the companies Grillo, Stolberger Zink and the United German Metalworks . The aim was to replace the metallurgical zinc, which was produced using the stack rolling process, with a new manufacturing process and thus to produce a permanently stable zinc alloy.
Rheinzink was the first building zinc manufacturer in Europe to replace the traditional bundle rolling process with the continuous broadband casting and rolling mill. The company has a production capacity of around 160,000 tons per year and employs around 800 people. Rheinzink is active in 30 countries and on five continents worldwide and has six sales offices in Germany: Berlin , Bochum , Erfurt , Kaiserslautern , Hamburg and Hanover .
Products
Electrolyte fine zinc with a degree of purity of 99.995 percent, supplemented by certain proportions of copper and titanium , is melted, cast and wound onto a steel sleeve as a coil in a single continuous operation in a uniform and fault-free material quality. In the further processing, various roof, facade and roof drainage systems as well as various architectural details are produced. The facade systems can be divided into rebate, panel, profile and cassette systems.
Reception building
On September 29, 2009, a villa designed by the architect Daniel Libeskind was opened as the reception building of the headquarters in Datteln .
