Company History

Since 1949. A history of quality, responsibility, and textile expertise.

What began in 1949 in Bühl near Tübingen developed over generations into a family business with an international brand world. The history of Rösch Fashion is characterized by textile craftsmanship, entrepreneurial spirit, and the ambition to continuously rethink quality.

From the first production steps to today's collections from RÖSCH and FÉRAUD, it's clear: For us, tradition is not a look back, but the foundation for what endures.


Milestones at a Glance

How it all began

In 1949, textile engineer Gerhard Rösch founded Gerhard Rösch GmbH in Bühl near Tübingen. With entrepreneurial courage, technical understanding and a clear eye for new materials, he laid the foundation for the company's later development.

Synthetic raw materials such as nylon, perlon and rayon quickly became the basis of elegant women's underwear and made Rösch a modern textile company of its time.

Expansion of the production facility

The young company grew rapidly. Bühl soon became too small, so Rösch expanded with another production facility in Tübingen.

In modern, fully air-conditioned rooms, the conditions for high-quality processing of fully synthetic yarns were created.

Expansion and textile expertise

With the expansion of production, Rösch developed into a fully integrated company: from spinning, warping and knitting to washing, bleaching and dyeing, as well as design, cutting and confection.

This close connection between technology, development and design strengthened Rösch's position both domestically and internationally.

Further development of collections

Through collaborations with chemical fiber companies, Rösch developed new synthetic knitted fabrics with special wearing and care properties.

This innovative strength shaped the collections and reinforced the claim to make fashion not only beautiful, but also comfortable and suitable for everyday wear.
