1972 The company previously<br />
run by the family as an oHG<br />
is transformed into a GmbH & Co.<br />
KG. Josef and Hubert Ruthmann as<br />
well as Manfred Holters are appointed<br />
Managing Directors.<br />
1975 Anton-Gerhard<br />
Ruthmann interrupts his retirement<br />
which started one year before. He<br />
builds the first company-owned service<br />
point in Mörfelden, the foundation<br />
stone of the comprehensive<br />
RUTHMANN service network.<br />
1980 The sales department<br />
situated until then in Gescher<br />
moves to the newly built office<br />
building in Hochmoor. The service<br />
follows. The property and the hotel<br />
at the railway station are sold in the<br />
following years.<br />
1985 As worldwide novelty,<br />
the RUTHMANN STEIGER ® TTS 590<br />
with a working height of 60 meters<br />
is presented in 1985. Due to company-owned<br />
development relating<br />
to the telescopic construction, the<br />
machines are becoming even lighter<br />
and more stable. Higher working<br />
heights can be reached in this way.<br />
2001 On the occasion of the<br />
100 th company anniversary, the<br />
RUTHMANN engineers excel themselves<br />
and create with the STEIGER ®<br />
TTS 1000 the worldwide highest<br />
working platform. With 100.4<br />
meters working height and 40<br />
meters lateral outreach, it is so far<br />
ahead of the branch. It took years<br />
before the record was overtaken. A<br />
big celebration with lots of guests<br />
and a varied stage show makes this<br />
glamourous anniversary an extraordinary<br />
event.<br />
2002 After the big anniversary,<br />
several difficult years followed.<br />
Two thirds of the employees had to<br />
be terminated before the trend was<br />
upwards through massive restructuring<br />
in 2003.<br />
2003 The new shareholders<br />
Heinrich Winkelmann and<br />
Heinz-Jürgen Buss restructure the<br />
company and set the company on a<br />
successful course.<br />
2004 With the foundation<br />
of the RUTHMANN Austria GmbH,<br />
RUTHMANN is now also present in<br />
Austria.<br />
2007 RUTHMANN continues<br />
to work on optimising the telescope<br />
profiles and achieves more outreach<br />
and working height with ever<br />
lighter but still stable constructions.<br />
Anton-Gerhard Ruthmann was also congratulated<br />
on his engineering masterpiece and his<br />
professional success.<br />

company on a successful course.<br />
