Rockster announces new headquarters location

Kormann Rockster Recycler GmbH (Rockster), an Ennsdorf, Austria-based mobile crushing and screening machinery manufacturer, announces it is expanding to a new 107,639-square-foot property in Neumarkt im Mühlkreis, Austria, that will serve as its headquarters.

"Standstill means regression,” Rockster CEO Wolfgang Kormann says. “Continuous development is not only essential in the construction of our machinery, but also the infrastructure has to be adapted according to the innovations and an increased demand.”

Since its founding in 2004, Rockster has developed two patented systems for mobile crushers and expanded its distribution network worldwide. The establishment of a new head office in a 75,347-square-foot warehouse in Ennsdorf in 2008, as well as founding of the subsidiaries Rockster North America, Rockster China and Rockster Germany between 2013 and 2016 have been enormous development steps, says the company. The new headquarters in the municipality of Neumarkt was acquired in January to double the company’s production capacity, Rockster says. As part of the relocation, the company name Kormann Rockster Recycler GmbH has been changed to Rockster Austria International GmbH.

Additionally, Rockster plans on hiring up to 20 new employees. Kormann says he expects the relocation to offer improved growth potential due to the availability of a larger space and offer the same development when it comes to employees.

"One of the main reasons for investing in this part of Austria was the experience with employees that are from this very region,” Kormann says. “They are known as loyal and diligent people with a positive attitude. In addition, I think it will be better to decentralize companies in the future, as the quality of life of employees will increase, thanks to better work-life balance. We want to create a modern production location where our employees feel … comfortable."
