The Company
For half a century, ANRIN GmbH from Anröchte has been a specialist in surface drainage. Polymer concrete channels from Anröchte have since been used not only on streets and squares in the region but also internationally.
LEADING WATER
Innovation and sustainability for
modern drainage systems.
1974
In 1974, building materials wholesaler Karl Broermann founded Anröchter Rinne GmbH, initially focusing on sports field and commercial construction. After his death in 1984, his wife Rita Broermann successfully continued the company, and their sons Gerald and Ulf joined the business in the early 1990s. Since then, ANRIN has continued to grow — supported by continuous innovation — relying primarily on the building trade as a distribution partner, alongside a representative office in Scandinavia. Product innovations such as the odor-reducing Venturi socket have further strengthened the company’s position as a leading provider in surface drainage.
LEADING WATER
“With the relaunch of our brand identity ANRIN LEADING WATER, we have since 2020 given our previously functional product a much more emotional character,” explain Managing Directors Gerald Broermann and Markus Bürger as they describe their strategy. ANRIN currently employs 60 people in production, administration, and sales at its Anröchte location.
Our Mission: Leading Water
"Leading Water" is more than just a slogan. It is our daily drive. As a technologically leading provider of drainage systems, we take responsibility – for the highest product quality, innovative design, and sustainable solutions in the management of water. Our channel systems stand for intelligent function, clear design, and maximum reliability.
Clearly Positioned. Responsibly Led.
ANRIN is defined by four core values: water as a central element, the mission "Leading Water", the combination of design and function, and a lived commitment to sustainability. These factors shape our products, processes, and mindset. They make ANRIN clearly recognizable as a brand, create differentiation in the market, and form the strategic foundation for responsible and future-oriented action.
Water – Origin and Future
Water is life. It flows, moves, and connects – while at the same time posing immense challenges to modern infrastructure. ANRIN meets these challenges with a clear goal: not just to control water, but to guide it intelligently. With high-performance drainage solutions that harmonize the environment, people, and architecture.
Design Meets Function
Aesthetics and technology are inseparable at ANRIN. Our products impress with well-thought-out design that is not only visually appealing but also highly functional. Architects, planners, and builders appreciate ANRIN products as a design element in urban spaces – offering uncompromising performance in water drainage.
Sustainability with Responsibility
Our responsibility does not end with the product. We think beyond – in material selection, production, and product lifespan. ANRIN relies on durable materials such as polymer concrete, short delivery routes, and resource-efficient processes. This results in drainage systems that meet both ecological and economic requirements.
OUR HISTORY
50 YEARS OF ANRIN (1974 – 2024): A SUCCESS STORY
1974 to 1990
The company founded by Karl Broermann was registered under the name Anröchter Rinne GmbH. The product range was still strongly focused on sports field and commercial construction. Sales were primarily project-based, with only a few dealer partners in Germany and abroad. After the death of Karl Broermann in 1984, the business was continued by his wife, Rita Broermann. In 1990, their eldest son, Gerald Broermann, joined the company as Managing Director after completing his engineering studies.
– In 1989, the pioneering edge protection profile was launched on the market.
ANRIN Anröchter Rinne GmbH
1991 to 1999
A realignment of the company begins with Ferdinand Fuchs as Sales Director. Anröchter Rinne becomes ANRIN. The sales focus increasingly shifts toward the building materials trade and trade associations. The company color becomes “blue” for the first time. In 1994, the second eldest son, Ulf Broermann, joins the family business and takes over production management.
New products in the field of sports field construction, such as the trough channel and the clamping system for artificial turf, are developed and launched on the market.
2000 to 2005: ANRIN GmbH
Through continuous growth, the company strengthens its position in the market. As a result, more storage space is needed, and production is modernized. In 1996, a high-bay warehouse with 1,800 pallet spaces is built, and in 2001, a new three-story office building is constructed, providing ample space for additional employees in sales and design. At the same time, the company introduces its first concrete corporate design with print media and a website based on the colors blue, gray, and white, featuring the logo “ANRIN Ideas in Polymer Concrete.”
- In 2001, the UNILINK joint system is patented
- In the same year, the RAPID LOCK fastening system is developed
and patented
- In 2002, the exclusive OvalGrip design is launched on the market

2006 to 2012
In August 2006, the company received its first certification according to DIN 9001, which has been continuously maintained ever since. The strong demand from distribution partners leads to continued growth. Both the workforce and the product range expand. In 2009, Markus Stöppel becomes ANRIN’s Head of Sales.
2013 to 2020: ANRIN Drainage with System
During these years, the company expands its international business with Markus Bürger as Commercial Managing Director. With ANRIN NORDIC, a subsidiary is founded for the Scandinavian market. The corporate design receives a facelift as a commitment to linear drainage, moving away from structural engineering. The visual language becomes more dynamic through a new water motif, and the color blue moves into the foreground.
2020 to Today – ANRIN LEADING WATER
With over 60 employees at its Anröchte location, ANRIN GmbH continues to grow. In October 2020, the brand relaunch marks the beginning of a new chapter for the ANRIN brand. Design, quality, and innovation define the new objectives. The brand colors change to black and white, and the visual language becomes more emotional. Product innovations such as the Venturi socket gain traction in the market, positioning ANRIN even more strongly as a design-oriented provider. Thus, the traditional company ANRIN is perfectly equipped to meet the future challenges of its continuously growing business operations.
