Rolltech’s success story started in Hjørring back in 1986, when it was founded by three former employees of Interal with the purpose of producing aluminium and galvanized steel spacers for the insulated glass industry. Initially the spacers were marketed within Scandinavia, Germany and the countries along its borders. After a few years, as the sales territory grew and the business became more specialized, Rolltech decided to focus on improving product performance and started manufacturing warm edge stainless steel spacer bars, to further expand its European market presence.

In 1988 they bought their old company; Interal, and took over their customers. At the same time the first generation steel spacer, BS 85 was developed. In 1989 Ferrotech started being sold to Scandinavian customers. In 1991 Rolltech was acquired by Erbslöh GmbH and sales expanded to Germany and surrounding countries. In 1996 development of the first “warm Edge” product; Chromatech was completed and sales expanded further out in Europe. In 1999 Chromatech V, the first thin SST spacer designed for prefilling, was developed. It was later renamed to Chromatech Plus.

The year 2001 marks two important events in the company’s history: a partnership with Alu-Pro s.r.l. Italy and the launch of Chromatech Plus. This innovatively shaped spacer bar, made of special stainless steel, conducted less heat transfer and further increased thermal insulation performance ratings while being one of the most stable spacers in the world. This evolution and the collaboration with Alu-Pro s.r.l. allowed the company to start selling products in Eastern European Countries and further expand its Southern European sales and distribution network.

In 2008 the first hybrid spacer; Chromatech ultra, the stainless steel spacer bar with special plastic top, was developed and thereafter the product was industrialized and marketed very successfully. Today, Rolltech continues to represent the most advanced technology in the insulating glass spacer bars sector: Chromatech ultra continues to be used by new customers every month.

In 2011 Rolltech celebrated 25 years production of everlasting spacers.
