People. Machines. Adding value.
“Behind every machine, there is a person. Behind RUF briquetting machines, there are people who create added value.”
- Hans Ruf, company founder -
When Hans Ruf introduced his first briquette press in 1985 and sold it to a wood processing plant, people didn’t yet know how residual materials in production could be made efficient use of. Today, approx. 35 years later, RUF Maschinenbau GmbH & Co. KG is the world market leader for hydraulic briquette presses and is considered to be a pioneer in briquetting. The company is now managed by the second generation of the founding family – sons Roland and Wolfgang Ruf. More than 100 employees develop and manufacture modular briquetting machines and solutions to produce briquettes from wood, metal and other residues.
On a production site that now spreads across 13,000 m² in Zaisertshofen (Bavaria), more than 10,000 pressing tests have been conducted and more than 5,000 briquetting machines manufactured, which are in use in more than 100 countries.

Preserving value. Adding value.
As a leading supplier of hydraulic briquette presses, sustainability is at the heart of the machine manufacturing operations of our Bavarian family company. The long service life and the low level of wear and tear of our briquette presses help to conserve resources and also vouch for our high quality standards.
SUSTAINABILITY
RUF briquette presses are the key to long-term, successful eco-efficiency. This sustainability concept starts with the production of the briquette presses themselves – the photovoltaic installation at our company premises actually generates more energy than is needed for our production processes.
