SL Rasch GmbH Special and Lightweight Structures

How can pilgrimages be organised in a healthy and sustainable way?

Pilgrimages are a unique and unforgettable journey. Both the general surrounding conditions and the spiritual experience itself contribute to it. Therefore, the organisation of pilgrimages is constantly being improved and the system is being looked at holistically. This is a huge undertaking and presents Saudi Arabia with a number of major challenges. One key aspect is the healthcare system.

SL Rasch has been involved for years in the further development of infrastructure in the most sacred places in the country to contribute to the general well-being of pilgrims. But apart from the infrastructure, what are the main health aspects during the pilgrimage to make it a safe event for everybody? We talked with Dr. Maliha Hashmi about this. She is a global healthcare leader and was awarded "Women Icon of the Year" in the MENA region. Named among the world´s top female pioneers in health and longevity sciences, she has led groundbreaking advancements in precision medicine and next-generation healthcare. Her overarching focus is on designing systems that are proactive, personalised and sustainable.

Welcome to our new company sign!

We have been working on it and designing it for a long time, but now we have finally been able to unveil it. Our product designers and graphic designer have put a lot of creativity and effort into the design and production. The result is a geometric abstraction of one of our most important and longstanding designs – the umbrella, seen from above. No other construction stands for SL Rasch to such an extent, is so versatile and customisable and has enabled us to protect people in the most diverse countries from the effects of the weather.
The brushed stainless steel sheet was laser-cut. A substructure, which was 3D printed, determines the inclination of the stainless steel triangles. For better visibility, even at night, an RGB LED strip was also installed, which can light up in different colours.

A big thank you to everyone who was involved in this process and contributed to this internal project. Thanks to you, our headquarters are now perfectly recognisable.
