POLYRACK Group with double-digit sales growth in 2018 - further investments planned.
Straubenhardt, May 15, 2019 - POLYRACK TECH-GROUP is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. During this time, the group of companies has developed into a globally active family business. The POLYRACK Group also recorded strong sales growth in the 2018 financial year. To this end, the company has greatly expanded its technology areas, and numerous investments are also planned for 2019 and the following years.
Since its foundation in 1979, the POLYRACK Group has developed from a one-man operation into a globally active family business. Over the decades, new technologies, markets and know-how have been added again and again. Thus, POLYRACK has transformed itself from a standard business to a cross-technology system supplier. Today, the portfolio includes engineering with in-depth technological know-how in the fields of mechanics, plastics technology, systems technology and surface technology. This is complemented by a broad standard portfolio and services in the areas of logistics and sourcing.
The POLYRACK Group currently employs over 450 people at several locations in the Straubenhardt and Ettlingen area (Baden-Württemberg) as well as in the USA, China, Switzerland and Belgium.
"I am proud of the fact that, despite our growth, we have remained a family business with clear structures that guides the company's fortunes with moderation and responsibility and will continue to do so in the next generation," explains Horst Rapp, the still active founder and owner of the POLYRACK Group. "As entrepreneurs, we have first and foremost responsibility for our customers and our employees. As the owner family, we also want to assume this responsibility for the next 40 years and be a reliable partner for our business partners and employees."
"Today, the company is very broadly positioned and we are represented in many industries and markets. This gives us stability and our customers the reliability they need," adds managing partner Andreas Rapp. Successful fiscal year 2018 The POLYRACK Group can look back on a successful fiscal year 2018: the company was able to increase its sales by approximately 10% in 2018 and achieved total sales of approximately 70 million euros (non-consolidated). The group of companies was also again able to achieve double-digit percentage growth in incoming orders and order backlog. "Both with existing customers, but above all with new customers and new projects, we were able to sustainably develop the group of companies. Thus, we also expect growth in this order of magnitude in 2019," explains Andreas Rapp.
The main growth sectors are medical technology, measurement and control technology, broadcasting, mechanical and plant engineering, traffic control technology, railroad technology, and aerospace. POLYRACK has also consistently expanded its standard and modified standard business in the areas of 19" and embedded computing in line with market requirements.
Continuing on a growth course with numerous investments
In 2018, POLYRACK modernized and reorganized the ESD area in assembly to better support its customers in in-house engineering in collaboration with customers.
POLYRACK is also planning extensive investments for the next few years, first and foremost the expansion of the plant in Ettlingen, near Karlsruhe. With an extension of around 1300m2, the company is expanding its sheet metal production and logistics here. In addition, the machinery will be successively expanded and renewed until 2020. By 2021, the investment volume of the POLYRACK Group will amount to around five to six million euros, this includes all technology areas: punching and laser technology, bending, welding, milling, the plastics and surface technology, as well as the further expansion of quality assurance and measurement technology.
In systems engineering, POLYRACK has gained extensive project experience and built up detailed know-how, especially in the area of the "Open VPX" standard. "The systems area will play an even more important role in the future, so we will continue to expand it and invest in development and manufacturing know-how," explains Andreas Rapp. "For this year and next, we see a growing number of project implementations, especially in the areas of embedded computing and display technology."
In order to achieve its goals for the next few years, POLYRACK is also increasing its workforce and investing in employee training.
"With these investments, we believe the group is well positioned to realize upcoming customer projects and have room for future growth with our customers," said Andreas Rapp.
Quality in focus
Various companies of the POLYRACK Group have recently successfully passed the re-certification for DIN EN ISO 9001 (2015) and IATF. In the course of 2020, the certification according to DIN EN 9100 - Aerospace - should be completed. "With this, we are also demonstrating to this customer base that we can offer top performance in terms of technology and quality," says Andreas Rapp.
Strengthening the internal market and further internationalization
The German market contributed a high proportion of revenue growth in 2018 and continues to offer attractive growth opportunities for the POLYRACK Group. For further growth potential, the international markets remain in focus, first and foremost the European countries as well as the USA and Canada. Currently, the export share of the POLYRACK Group is about 50%. "Our goal is a positive sales development. However, we want to do this with the necessary sense of proportion and entrepreneurial vision," explains Andreas Rapp.

Housing and system applications for individual requirements
Straubenhardt, 12 December 2018 - From 26 February to 28 February 2019 at embedded world in Nuremberg (Hall 3, Stand 349), POLYRACK TECH-GROUP will be presenting a wide range of enclosure systems as well as customer-specific system applications from various industries and areas of use, including electronics integration and a selection of HMI and MMI applications.
For the embedded sector, especially for industrial environments, POLYRACK presents the PanelPC 2 series. These panel PC solutions of protection class IP54 are available in sizes from 10.1'' to 21.5'' as well as in different material variants from milled aluminum to sheet metal bending solutions. Resistive single-touch or multi-touch capable capacitive touchscreens (PCAP) in different glass thicknesses are available as user interfaces. Custom printing and anti-fingerprint coatings are available upon request. To take advantage of different materials, customers can also choose from other technologies for material selection to realize individual requirements, such as plastic and cast iron - also in material combinations.
Small Form Factor with EmbedTEC: The aluminum desktop case is the elegant package for small form factors like embedded NUC (eNUC), pico-ITX (pITX, 2.5"), SMARC, QSeven and SBCs like the Raspberry Pi. It features a replaceable I/O shield and a solid aluminum lid for heat dissipation. For higher performance, this can be replaced with a heatsink, and perforated side panels and fans further increase cooling performance if required. For applications in the field of automation and IoT, POLYRACK also offers a wide range of adaptations and mounting options.
Other enclosure series such as SmarTEC for high-quality systems such as passively cooled mini PCs, EmbedTEC for embedded computing and HMI applications, and backplanes for the high-speed sector with the VPX and CompactPCI Serial standards complete the portfolio of the enclosure specialist POLYRACK. All solutions are characterized by the appropriate interaction of mechanics, plastics, electronics and the surface finish - tailored to the target market.
