About RHP

Advanced Materials – Engineered for the Future

Welcome to RHP Group – your partner for pioneering material solutions where science meets industry.

Founded in 2009 as a spin-off from the Austrian Institute of Technology, RHP-Technology GmbH is a specialist in the development and manufacturing of advanced materials using powder-based processes. From our base in Seibersdorf, Austria, we support companies and research institutions across Europe with tailor-made materials for high-performance applications in aerospace, energy, mobility, medical technology, and beyond.

Our story is shaped by strong scientific roots and visionary partnerships. In addition to our foundation at AIT, the company integrates valuable expertise from AT Space GmbH, a driving force in the New Space sector. This influence is visible not only in our agile project culture but also in the flight-qualified satellite components developed with our materials – which are already operating in orbit.

Another key pillar is our close link to Attophotonics Biosciences GmbH, which has enriched RHP’s portfolio with cutting-edge sensor technology and photonic materials. This synergy enables us to develop hybrid materials and functional surfaces for precision sensing, diagnostics, and smart materials.

RHP combines state-of-the-art technologies – including Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS), hot pressing, and additive manufacturing – with a multidisciplinary team and flexible infrastructure. This allows us to deliver fast, from prototype to pilot production.

We are active leaders in national and EU-funded R&D projects, driving innovation in areas like high entropy alloys, ceramic-metal composites, radiation-tolerant materials, and diamond-based sensors.

Let’s shape the future together –
We engineer materials for the future.

We have been working with RHP for more than 10 years. In addition to scientific cooperation and regular guest stays in Seibersdorf, we are particularly pleased to be able to send our students to RHP for practical work as part of their degree. As a university, we have exciting fields of application that we would like to supplement with in-depth scientific aspects.

RHP is a stroke of luck.

For 7 years I was developing the black noble alloy NIELLIUM. We walked the last few meters together as part of a 9-month feasibility study.

Fresh and happy at work. Committed, competent, reliable and solution-oriented, we quickly found a common language.

It’s a pleasure to work with scientists. Especially with those I got to know at RHP-Technology, with this nice train to the gate.

Thank you!
