History
Since 1982

When Rolf Kammerer laboriously worked on scraped plaster by hand in his father's plastering business, the idea for the first machine was born. The Chameleon came to life.

First in the inventor's mind, then on the drawing board, eventually in his own production and series manufacturing. In 1982 the machine went to market — and under the name Rokamat it quickly caught on with painters, plasterers and interior finishers in Germany, Switzerland and Eastern Europe.

Its concept of decoupling the motor from the handpiece and wearing it on the belt was convincing: lightweight tools, full motor power. What began as a solution to a specific jobsite problem became a brand.

As the Rokamat brand established itself on the market, Rolf Kammerer did not remain idle. He never forgot his roots: the machines he designed were meant to make craftsmen's everyday work easier. In the years that followed, he developed many more devices, bringing them to production readiness with his team.

To this day, Kammerer GmbH has remained a true family business. In 2014, Rolf Kammerer’s son Dominic Kammerer joined the management board—previously, he had worked for years in the company’s engineering department.
