Portrait Hinrich Röders

HINRICH RÖDERS

6. Juli 1931 † 10. April 2025

It is with great sadness that the family and employees bid farewell to Hinrich Röders, who passed away peacefully after a long, fulfilling and ultim­ately arduous life.

Hinrich Röders began his entre­pre­neurial activities in 1962 with a small contract turning shop with 5 employees in Hamburg. Three years later, when his father Albrecht Röders spun off the Soltauer pewter factory with around 10 employees from the company G.A. Röders, he joined it as an autho­rized signatory.
Both companies grew rapidly under Hinrich Röders’ management. By 1972, the Soltauer pewter factory had over 100 employees. Already then, rising costs prompted Hinrich Röders to set up a joint venture in Malaysia to produce the labour-intensive pewter articles there. He also tempo­r­arily set up a production facility in Ireland and founded subsi­diaries in France and the USA for distri­bution.
With the contract turning shop in Hamburg, Hinrich Röders was able to win the Corpoplast company as a customer, so that this turning shop incre­asingly specia­lized in the production of blow moulds for PET bottles. This line of business is still very important for the Röders GmbH today, with customers in Europe, South and North America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
The develo­pment of high speed cutting machines by his son Jürgen Röders brought completely new activities to the company starting in 1991. After initial diffi­culties, these grew to become the company’s most important business segment by the end of the 1990s. Hinrich Röders made a signi­ficant contri­bution to the company’s great success during this time with a great deal of foresight in recruiting personnel, financing, the necessary exten­sions of the factory buildings, developing a worldwide sales and service network, etc.
In 2000, he largely handed over respon­si­bility for the management of the company to his son, but remained active until 2012, primarily in the area of human resources and improving the education of appren­tices. But even after that, he remained conti­nually involved and available, with an alert mind on important issues for the company, and, even when faced with great adversity such as in 2020, continued to provide signi­ficant input and guidance.

The family and the employees look back with great gratitude on their longstanding common journey and relati­onship with Hinrich Röders.
