Secure remote access technology
04 March 2026
RONAL GROUP, a leading maker of wheels for consumer and commercial vehicles, is consolidating remote access across sites worldwide using Rockwell Automation secure remote access technology.

As part of its ongoing commitment to operational excellence and regulatory alignment, the RONAL GROUP has adopted a centralised approach to managing authorised external access. The solution supports encrypted communication, role-based authorisation and comprehensive monitoring capabilities in line with applicable regulatory requirements, including NIS2.
“Secure and reliable connectivity is an essential component of modern industrial operations,” said Stefan Turi, industrial networks and cybersecurity sales executive, Rockwell Automation. “We are pleased to support the RONAL GROUP in strengthening its global connectivity framework.”
The implementation enables the RONAL GROUP to manage approved remote access in a consistent and standardised manner across its operations. Access rights are assigned based on clearly defined roles and operational needs and are subject to defined governance processes.
“The introduction of a harmonised solution supports our ongoing efforts to enhance operational resilience and transparency,” said Matthias Kratz, head of manufacturing IT, RONAL GROUP. “It allows us to manage authorised external access in a structured and controlled manner while supporting our compliance objectives. We were impressed by how easy the Rockwell Automation system was to configure to our needs and roll out to suppliers. Cybersecurity is a strategic priority for the RONAL GROUP. We continuously review and enhance our security framework to protect our operations, partners and customers.”
