CEO of the RAG Foundation

The premises are part of the new Hahn Group Technology Center, a meeting place for customers and partners to experience and further develop innovative technologies. This creates a central location for the exchange of information, skills and technological developments in the immediate vicinity of universities and research institutions. This took account of short-term space requirements and encouraged further growth. “The opening of Rethink Robotics' new headquarters and production facility symbolizes the transformation of the mining-dominated region into a location for future technologies. We have supported the move from the outset and are confident that Rethink Robotics will find an ideal environment here to continue to grow”, says Bernd Tönjes, CEO of the RAG Foundation, which is a majority shareholder in the Hahn Group through its holding company RSBG SE.
