IT AL STARTS WITH ENGINEERING

We engineer and realize functional prototypes, mock-ups, simulators and validation solutions that make new products tangible, testable and ready for the real world.

Engineering is more than a process step. It is the foundation of every innovation. For many years, we have supported international customers in the development of complex technical products and systems. We combine analytical thinking, practical implementation expertise and a genuine passion for technical challenges.

By bringing engineering, manufacturing, integration and validation together in one agile team, we help organizations turn ambitious ideas into proven reality.

OUR HISTORY

Our roots trace back to the Hörmann Group, where the foundations were laid for highly specialized prototype and model construction. Over the years, that expertise evolved through several organizations, including Voith Engineering Services and later the ROBUR Group, expanding into prototype development, simulation, validation and engineering for some of the most demanding industries.

While company names changed, one thing never did: the people. Generations of engineers, technicians, craftsmen and project specialists continued to refine their skills, build knowledge and push ideas beyond the drawing board. Their experience forms the foundation of Redkite today.

Our home is Chemnitz, a city with a long tradition in automotive engineering, machine building and industrial innovation. Located in the heart of Saxony, a region known for technical excellence and craftsmanship, we are proud to continue a heritage that has shaped industry for more than a century.

As part of a strong entrepreneurial environment alongside Seiwo Technik GmbH and the international Bruns Group, we are building a new chapter. Under the name Redkite Prototyping GmbH, we build on decades of experience with a clear focus on the future: turning complex ideas into proven reality.

STORY BEHIND THE BRAND

The name Redkite is inspired by the red kite, a bird of prey native to the region where the company is based. Known for its speed, precision and control, it reflects the way Redkite approaches every project: focused, agile and purposeful.

This idea is also reflected in the visual identity. The logo depicts the bird in a geometric, origami-inspired style. Just as origami transforms simple shapes into something meaningful, prototyping transforms ideas into tangible solutions.

The wordmark combines striking red letters with a deep dark brown colour, creating a strong visual contrast that radiates both energy and reliability. The colour palette is derived from the natural plumage of the red kite itself, creating a direct connection between the brand and its source of inspiration.

Together, these elements express what Redkite stands for: a company rooted in experience and craftsmanship, while continuously looking ahead to new possibilities.
