Wilhelm-Renke Röben joined management in 1989 as a representative of the 5th generation of Röben. Under his leadership, a new clinker plant was built in North Carolina, USA, and, since 1995, a clinker and tile plant in Neumarkt, Poland. Finally, in May 2016, the 5th US clinker plant opened in Clay County, Texas.

Röben continues to concentrate its activities on the German market. Large sums are being invested in expanding the factories to ensure that they all produce products to the highest technical and environmental standards. This ensures that the builder always has beautiful products of the highest quality and sustainability available to complete his building project; for a durable, healthy brick residential building.

In 16 factories in Europe and the USA (with another one being built there), Röben produces a wide range of clinker bricks, clinker tiles, precast brick products, clay tiles and porcelain tiles. Products are controlled from our headquarters in Zetel, Friesland, and distributed throughout the world. All factories produce in accordance with the latest state of technology: Innovative plant technology and optimized thermal cycles, in which, for example, waste heat from one process is used to optimize a subsequent production step, significantly reduce energy consumption. A state-of-the-art energy management system ensures further optimization.
