1976	With the start of production in 1976, Rolf Kuhn GmbH was the first company worldwide, who manufactured Palusol® (Palusol® registered trademark of BASF SE) for the door industry. They quickly expanded the programm of delivery with different intumescent material and fire boards. The clientele expanded in all fields of passive fire protection.
The 80´s	In the early 80s the Rolf Kuhn GmbH developed an own fire protection sleeve.
