About Us Materials.
Engineered for Control.

RHODETEC is an independent company based in Chemnitz, Saxony, Germany. We develop functional materials and technical solutions that enable precise control of light, heat, and electromagnetic signals. In doing so, we work with manufacturers, planners and integration partners around the world.

Who We Are Engineers. Tinkerers. Material experts.

At RHODETEC, material development, coating technology and film processing come together. We understand the structure of our materials down to the individual layers – and develop them with their final application in mind.
As a specialized team, we make decisions quickly and work closely with our customers. If a solution does not yet meet the requirements, we keep developing it.

What Drives Us Inspired by the highest demands.
Engineered for real-world use.

Materials often have to perform several tasks at once: protect against radiation, regulate temperatures or shield sensitive technology. Demanding applications like these inspire our work.
Engineered for Control describes our aspiration: buildings and spaces should adapt precisely to the way they are used. With RHODESHADE, we develop shade films that reduce heat and glare while preserving daylight and views. With RHODESHIELD, we work on shielding solutions for spaces with special security requirements.

What We Stand For Our principles.

The big picture.
RHODESHADE films are integrated into interior shading systems. They can be used across a range of system designs, providing flexibility for different applications.
With RHODESHIELD, we see shielding as a task involving the entire room and its interfaces.
Making performance traceable.
Technical decisions require reliable data. That is why we document performance values and test conditions transparently and use independent testing wherever it is relevant to the product and application.
Developing solutions together.
Our materials only reach their full potential when used in the right system. We support manufacturers, fabricators and integrators with samples, technical information and advice – from selection to implementation.

Our Values What we stand for.

Precision. – In material design, in measured values and in every specification.
Honesty. – We say what our solutions can do – and where their limits are.
Courage. – We explore new approaches and keep improving what already exists.
Closeness. – Our customers and partners communicate directly with the people who are working on their solutions.
