Founded by my grandfather in 1946, our family-run company has been continually developing ever since in line with the market requirements – from a spare parts manufacturer for the mining industry to an internationally renowned specialist in power transmission engineering.
Today, we develop and produce torsionally flexible couplings at a high level of vertical integration under the REICH-KUPPLUNGEN brand. These products are predominantly used for combustion engines in stationary and mobile applications – for example in power generation plants, in construction machinery, in commercial vehicles, in railway engineering, and in the shipbuilding industry.
Continual progress is ensured through the work of our highly qualified and reliable employees. By applying cutting-edge manufacturing technologies, we are coming up with sophisticated coupling solutions at our parent company in Bochum. These are rooted on the experience that we have collected over all these years with the most various elastomer materials. Our own worldwide sales network has been significantly expanded in the recent years and serves as a basis for the global and sustainable success of the REICH-KUPPLUNGEN brand.
Another essential component of our success is the “Designed to Customer” principle which allows us to create customised high-quality and long-lasting power transmission products in close cooperation with the customer.
Our commitment to flexibility, quality, and on-time delivery, and our ability to respond to the most diverse requirements are providing daily proof that customer satisfaction is of top priority to us.
Since I joined the company’s management I have dedicated my efforts to preserve these values and to position our company for a safe and successful future also in the third generation.
Yours, Christian Reich

A developer and manufacturer of drive technology, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS employs some 3,600 people and is one of the world's leading suppliers of full-scale, comprehensive drive solutions. NORD's portfolio ranges from standard drives to customized solutions for demanding application requirements, e.g. based on energy-efficient or explosion-protected drives. Gross sales amounted to EUR 630 mn in the 2017 business year. Subsidiaries in 36 countries around the world and an extensive distribution and service network ensure minimal lead times and provide customer-oriented services wherever needed on short notice. NORD’s wide variety of gear types covers torques from 10 Nm to 242,000 Nm and more. The company also supplies motors with outputs from .12 kW to 1,000 kW and manufactures frequency inverters. NORD's inverter line-up features conventional models for installation in control cabinets as well as design types for fully integrated drive units in decentralized automation environments.

Control Techniques servo products offer high performance combined with maximum flexibility.  The drives can connect to a wide range of motion controllers through I/O or dedicated communication networks such as SERCOS and EtherCAT or alternatively, take control of the automation system through the drives integrated motion controller.
To optimise performance, we segment our servo drives and motors by the duty required for the application.

Our core competence is the complete manufacture of complex drive engineering elements and components.
With modern CNC machines, we manufacture precise components for industrial use according to the quality requirements of our customers.
State-of-the-art CNC sawing machines guarantee only a minimum of waste and, due to their small measurements, the optimisation of subsequent cutting times.
As a supplier, we have acquired extensive knowledge in dealing with renowned companies of machine and plant construction and in the conveyor system sector.
Years of production experience and technical expertise mean we are a partner who can quickly and reliably cater for the demands of our customers.
In order to meet the rising quality requirements of our customers, it is our objective to improve our quality standards and to render them documentable and measurable using state-of-the-art test methods. In so doing, we rely on a measuring machine produced by Zeiss.
To us, the high quality of products and processes is a precondition for the smooth processing of orders. This claim results in a high level of reliability, combined with the flexibility of a modern medium-sized business.

Eickhoff gearboxes have been successfully used worldwide for around 100 years for many different applications and under the most extreme conditions. From the tailor-made design closely coordinated with the customer right up to the individual service and maintenance concept, all Eickhoff gearboxes have the same features in common: maximum quality and maximum reliability. You need powerful, hard-wearing gearboxes to move heavy loads. This is why our industrial gearboxes are especially popular in applications in the Cement, Minerals and Mining industry. Our customized concepts also offer sophisticated solutions for industries like Oil & Gas, Steel, Power Generation and Renewables. As a family-run company with an internationally operating sales and service network, we look forward to a successful cooperation with you.
