About RATIONAL Aktiengesellschaft

RATIONAL Aktiengesellschaft (ISIN: DE0007010803, ticker: RAA.DE) is a German industrial company listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX). Headquartered in Landsberg am Lech, Germany, the group is a global reference in professional cooking equipment for restaurants, hotels, institutional catering and large-scale foodservice operations. Its business model is built around premium thermal cooking systems that help professional kitchens standardize output, improve food quality, reduce labor intensity, save energy and optimize space. The company traces its roots back to 1973, when RATIONAL GmbH was founded in Germany as a producer and seller of hot-air appliances. RATIONAL later listed on the stock market in 2000, a milestone that strengthened its international profile and financial transparency. RATIONAL’s product portfolio is concentrated in a few high-value platforms. The iCombi range is the core revenue engine: these combi ovens are designed to cover a wide set of cooking tasks, from steaming and combi cooking to finishing, baking and other specialty applications. The iVario platform complements this offering with multifunction cooking equipment aimed at high-volume kitchens and operational efficiency. More recently, the company introduced iHexagon, a new product category that broadens its technology base and reinforces its position as an innovator in professional kitchen automation. The ecosystem is rounded out by ConnectedCooking, accessories, cleaning and care consumables, and customer support services. From a competitive standpoint, RATIONAL stands out through strong brand equity, a large installed base and a premium positioning focused on quality, durability and service. Rather than competing primarily on unit volume, the company competes on technology, software-enabled performance and demonstrable customer ROI. Its geographic footprint is global, with sales, service and distribution across multiple international markets. Manufacturing is concentrated mainly in Landsberg am Lech, Germany, while another production site is located in Wittenheim, France, supporting a European industrial footprint. Recent developments indicate that RATIONAL continues to execute well despite a softer macroeconomic backdrop. The group published its 2024 annual results and in 2025 communicated further revenue growth, underscoring the resilience of its model. Management has also highlighted the expansion of the portfolio with iHexagon, along with initiatives around connectivity, device cybersecurity and process optimization in professional kitchens. For investors, RATIONAL remains a high-quality industrial name tied to the modernization of professional kitchens and the structural demand for energy efficiency, automation and productivity gains.
