About us

The RBM Drain Filter GmbH was founded in 1969 as the Twistringer RBM Dränfilter GmbH & Co. KG and is considered a pioneer in developing and manufacturing drainage filters in Germany. as the most important producer of drainage solutions, our products naturally meet the KOMO® quality requirements.

 RBM Drain Filter GmbH´s wide product range includes different drainage systems. The pipes range from short fixed with big diameters to long and flexible with smaller diameters. Depending on the intended application these pipes can be coated either with natural or synthetic fibers - just like our erosion control mats. The demand for both product groups is ever incerished due a rise in climate-related challenges. In addition, we supply coconut- filled waterlogs which are of great importance in soil bioengineering of shorelines and water banks.
