Once a coal-mining town between Dortmund, Bochum and Recklinghausen, Castrop-Rauxel has shifted toward chemicals, canal ports, skilled trades and mid-sized service providers. That calls for software for businesses and administration, websites for the location and SMEs, automation of orders and documents, and IT service for single sites and branches.

Digital solutions for businesses in Castrop-Rauxel
The closure of the Erin colliery in 1983 ended coal mining in Castrop-Rauxel; today small and mid-sized companies shape the economy. An important industrial employer is the chemical company Rütgers, with about 500 employees on site, joined by the canal ports on the Rhine-Herne Canal. The city is primarily a residential location: as of June 30, 2023, almost 28,100 employees subject to social insurance lived here, while the statistics counted only about 16,900 with Castrop-Rauxel as their place of work. The A 2, A 42 and A 45 motorways and the S 2 commuter rail line link Castrop-Rauxel to the Ruhr area, and the Westfälisches Landestheater is based here.
From the Erin colliery to the title of “Europastadt” (European city), Castrop-Rauxel has repeatedly started anew – today digital tools help local businesses take the next step. We support businesses throughout Castrop-Rauxel – for example in Castrop, Rauxel, Ickern, Habinghorst and Henrichenburg.
