Rathscheck Slate is one of the leading producers of premium quality slate. The product range includes a wide selection of roofing and wall cladding options. A modern and easy-to-install roofing system and photovoltaic solutions for all types of roofing complete the range.
The company was founded in 1793 by Johann Baptist Rathscheck and taken over by Wilh. Werhahn KG in 1904. All global activities including development, purchasing and sales are centrally controlled from the headquarters in Mayen/Eifel.
The Spanish production companies Cafersa, Castrelos and Pizarras La Baña, which are part of the Group, have an important international function. The extensive resources secure Rathscheck's long-term access to high-quality slate for the global markets.
The product range includes a wide selection of classic and modern roofing and wall cladding options. An extensive range of suitable roofing tile formats is available for new builds, renovations and the preservation of historic buildings. An easy-to-install roofing system appeals to design-oriented and particularly cost-conscious builders. In addition, photovoltaic systems specially designed for slate and aesthetically integrated are offered. A system solution developed for contemporary architecture enables innovative façade designs with large-format natural stones. The product range is complemented by manufactured stones for indoor and outdoor use as well as for gardening and landscaping.
Rathscheck Schiefer has strong brands. Under the name InterSIN®, blue-grey slate from Spanish and international deposits is among the best qualities on the world market. The targeted selection during quarrying combined with the highest precision in processing distinguishes MONUMENTUM®, the premium brand for old German coverings. The precious stone from the company's own deposits in the "Golden Valley" (Valdeorras/Spain) is given a special elegance and uniqueness by its lively and intensely silky shimmering surface. The product portfolio also includes colored slate, which is sold in red and green tones under the ColorSIN® brand. Exclusive natural stones for sophisticated interior and exterior design are marketed under the ROCANEX® brand. The traditional brand Moselschiefer® stands for high-quality garden and landscaping products.
