Non-automotive

Precision-turned parts are not only needed in the automotive sector. The REICH portfolio caters to special requirements across a wide variety of sectors and industries.

We gained a foothold in the growth market for e-bikes in 2015 with high-performance gears and transmission parts and have since equipped more than 5 million e-bike motors. Through innovation partnerships with our customers, we work primarily on acoustic performance, minimising installation space and the weight of the drive unit in the e-bike. We are also pursuing unconventional approaches with our customers, for example, with a completely new type of shaft gear.

We would like to offer our services as a reliable supplier of parts for defence technology. We can also offer (free) production capacities at short notice. In the current tense supply situation, we consider it our responsibility to make a contribution and provide our expertise and resources.

This decision was not easy for us. However, after careful consideration, we are convinced that we are doing the right thing. To ensure the highest safety and ethical standards, we scrutinise every request very carefully. We make sure that our products only end up in responsible hands.

We are proud to be able to offer you high quality and reliable products and we look forward to working together to create a safe and successful partnership.

Another new business area that offers guaranteed further growth is the generation of green energy using hydrogen as an energy source in fuel cells. REICH products can be found here in compressors and in tank systems for liquid and gaseous hydrogen. 

REICH has always established stable customer relationships in a wide range of industries with special ball bearings – including a manufacturer of building technology that uses our plastic-coated ball bearings for shading systems and blinds. In robotics, mechanical engineering, cargo and conveyor technology as well as the furniture industry, REICH supplies more than 30 different companies with ball bearings in a wide variety of designs and sizes. The extremes here range from equipping the well-known, smooth-sliding ‘chemist pull-outs’ in drawer cabinets to a testing facility for large pipe systems. In the food industry, special ball bearings from REICH are used in the conveyor technology in poultry slaughterhouses. We also use the contacts in our network to analyse and develop additional new business areas.
