About Rototilt Group
Rototilt Group AB is an internationally active, family-owned technology company headquartered in Vindeln in northern Sweden. The company manufactures tiltrotators, machine couplers, attachments and control systems that turn excavators into versatile tool carriers. Production takes place in a 6,000 m² factory in Vindeln, opened in 2007; there, steel components are manufactured and assembled, among other things in a welding facility with heat recovery commissioned in 2024. The company also operates an assembly facility in Brantford, Canada. The development work includes, among other things, the fully automatic QuickChange™ quick-coupler system, the open standard Open-S and the SecureLock™ safety solution; the company holds 15 patents. Customers are found mainly in the construction, civil engineering and earthmoving industries; around one third of production is exported. An in-house testing laboratory with a multi-storey test and evaluation rig serves to verify product durability.
