„Change creates space – in one of Munich’s best locations.“

Our office on the 7th floor near Munich’s #Werksviertel is a true favorite: Modern #openspace design, separate meeting rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, restrooms – and a view you won’t forget.
365 m², including a storage room and two outdoor parking spaces, are ready for creative minds and fresh ideas.

But: We're there far less often than we’d like.
With our new Venture Clienting strategy, we’re moving closer to our internal clients – the REHAU Group.

👉 So we’re asking ourselves:
Is there someone out there who might love this space as much as we do? Maybe you? 💭 Whether you're a start-up, project team or creative unit – we believe this space has huge #potential.

Move-in? Flexible.
The current lease is still in place, but there’s room to find the right agreement.
📩 Feel free to reach out via DM or directly to Alice Lottes.

Sharing is caring – so pass it on or tag someone who comes to mind!

📣 Spoiler: Courage alone is not enough.

In the latest interview with wir – Das Magazin für Unternehmerfamilien, our CEO Nils Wagner talks about the development of REHAU New Ventures - and about the key insight from recent years:

Corporate Venture Building alone is not enough.
We have built up our own start-ups, developed scalable models and brought exciting business ideas into the organization. But we have also learned that start-ups in a corporate environment require special conditions - time, capital, entrepreneurial go-getters and structures that offer real scope for new ideas.

That is why we have adjusted our course.
Today, we rely on #VentureClienting:
We identify suitable start-ups with market-ready solutions - and integrate them into the #REHAU Group's divisions in a targeted manner.

Faster. More focused. More effective.
This approach enables us to implement innovation closer to our core business - without detours, but with maximum benefit.

📖 You can find the full interview with Nils Wagner in the wir-magazine.
💬 Where does your organization stand when it comes to innovation - and what needs to change?

„In cities, space is a luxury. With Ctool, we give it back – playfully and beautifully.“
Joeri Reynaert, Designer of Ctool and Founder of JRS Studio

Welcome to the vibrant world of ästik – the new high-class interior brand that redefines urban living.

At REHAU New Ventures, we believe that smart design can transform the way we inhabit our surroundings. That’s why we’re proud to present Ctool – the latest creation from our venture ästik.

Ctool. Changing your perspective.
A cute stool becomes a side table with just a 90° turn. Light, stackable, surprisingly comfortable – and full of character.

Made from recycled, rotational molded plastic, Ctool is:
✔ multifunctional and space-saving
✔ rich in texture and color
✔ bold in form, but easy to integrate
✔ compatible with other ästik pieces like Wonderwall, POT and Geta

From translucent neutrals to vibrant accents – every version of Ctool tells a different story. Its playful shape and unique material make it a real conversation starter in any room.

👉 Curious about Ctool or interested in bringing ästik to your region?
We’d love to hear from you – let’s shape tomorrow’s interiors together.

📄➡️🏗️ When paperwork becomes reality – Leipzig gets a container park

CoStore is bringing flexible storage solutions to Leipzig: 96 containers, bookable online, with 16 already reserved — the first customer has already moved in before the park is even fully operational. The digital business model relies on high automation, low operating costs, and easy booking processes — attractive to investors looking for scalable solutions.

The strong demand for flexible storage shows that CoStore’s model is well-suited to current market needs and can easily be scaled to other locations.
For private and business customers alike, CoStore offers flexible, online-bookable storage space that’s available anytime. The platform enables straightforward booking within minutes at fair prices, with no need for on-site staff.

Jannes Koepcke and Marcel Philipp Lang, the founders of CoStore, have brought their idea to life with great commitment. They exemplify the kind of entrepreneurship we support at REHAU New Ventures: doers who develop and implement digital solutions.

We are proud to have supported CoStore as a portfolio venture from idea to implementation. As an investor, we see our role as providing strategic support to innovative business models like CoStore and actively fostering their growth.
