For the past ten years, RAUCH Furnace Technology GmbH has been a committed sponsor of SOS Children's Village – a cause especially close to our hearts.

In recognition of this long-term support, RAUCH recently received a certificate of appreciation from SOS Children’s Village. This sponsorship represents more than financial support – it reflects our commitment to social responsibility by helping provide children and young people in difficult life situations with access to education, individual care, and a safe home – and with it, a real perspective for the future.

Especially in uncertain times, we see it as our duty to uphold partnerships like this. Continuity, responsibility, and reliability are values that shape our daily work – both in collaboration with our customers and in our social engagement.

A heartfelt thank-you to SOS Children’s Village for the vital work they do – and to our team, who help make this commitment possible.

The IMA Award 2025 in the category “Health & Safety” was awarded to RAUCH Furnace Technology GmbH. The award was presented during the 82nd IMA World Magnesium Conference, which was held in Salzburg for the first time. With this international recognition, the International Magnesium Association (IMA) honors our commitment to the safe and sustainable use of protective gases in magnesium processing. The awarded project combines industry-oriented research with application-focused implementation and achieves several positive effects:

• a significant improvement in occupational safety when handling protective gases,
• compliance with – and even falling below – legal exposure limits in production environments,
• substitution of climate-damaging gases such as SF₆, resulting in a CO₂ reduction potential of up to 273,000 metric tons per year.

The award underscores our commitment to combining technological innovation with responsibility—for sustainable processes, safe working conditions, and future-oriented foundry technology: “At RAUCH, responsibility, research, and practical application go hand in hand.” We would like to thank the International Magnesium Association for this special recognition on an international stage.
