RAFI: innovative solutions for 100 years
The history of RAFI began more than 100 years ago. Founder Ernst Bucher and his senior employee and later owner Raimund Finsterhölzl laid the foundation for today's success of the large German company in the first half of the 20th century.
With the production of the first RAFI keyboards and flat input systems, RAFI showed its innovative spirit in the 1970s and 1980s. In 2012, the company set another benchmark with the establishment of its own touch sensor production for capacitive operating systems.
After being acquired by Hoesch AG and subsequently by various shareholders, the company has been owned by the asset management company Oaktree since 2020.
RAFI's products are used in a wide range of industries, including mechanical and plant engineering, as well as domestic installation, electrical engineering and model making.
