The Company GDW Rhodius KMS
Our History: Quality and Innovation since 1925
For nearly a century, the name Rhodius has stood for the highest quality and technical expertise from Germany. Founded in 1925, we have evolved from a craft-based operation to a globally leading specialist in separation technology and droplet separators. Our history is defined by pioneering spirit, continuous growth, and an unwavering commitment to creating the best solutions for our customers.
1925: The Foundation and Early Years
It all began in 1925 in Weissenburg, when Max Rhodius laid the foundation for a long success story. With a clear focus on precise and high-quality manufacturing, the company established itself as a reliable partner for the industry from the very start.
1970: A Milestone - The Birth of KMS
A pivotal moment in our history came in 1970. The development and construction of the first droplet separators led to the creation of the highly innovative business unit "kms" (Knitted Mesh and Separation). This specialization in advanced separation technology quickly became the core of our identity and laid the foundation for our current market leadership in this field.
2016 and 2017: Growth and Global Presence
Driven by innovation and an uncompromising commitment to quality – certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 since 1996 – Rhodius KMS continued to grow steadily. To better serve our customers worldwide, we strategically expanded:
2016: Start of operations in North America
2017: Start of operations in the Middle East
These strategic steps solidified our position as a global expert in critical filtration and separation applications.
2024: A New Chapter - Part of the Gerard Daniel Family
In 2024, a new exciting era began for Rhodius KMS. By merging with Gerard Daniel, a global leader in woven wire mesh and filtration solutions, we became part of a strong global corporate family. This partnership combines our unique expertise in separation technology with one of the largest distributors in the industry. Together, we ensure our innovation power for the future and offer our customers a broader portfolio of solutions and first-class service worldwide.
