Rhein Getriebe

We develop and build highly customised special gears.

Schiller once said: “Simplicity is the result of maturity“. It is characterised by clarity, focusing on the essential and a high utility value. Every product of Rhein-Getriebe is based on the experience of generations of employees. They give our company a face. And they provide the foundation for our business success with their special qualifications, their reliability and their view of developments throughout the world.

As one of the leading medium-sized manufacturers in the field of transmission engineering, in recent decades we were able to acquire an extensive technological development know-how, especially in the manufacturing of worm gears and gear combinations. The most important areas of application of our special gears include medical, textile and transport engineering as well as fire protection. By continually expanding our own research and development expertise in cooperation with the Research Association for Power Transmission Engineering (FVA), the Ruhr University of Bochum and the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, we are always able to make innovative improvements on existing products and processes.

It started with gears for tram doors in the 1950s – and Rhein-Getriebe excels through invisible safety in the service of people ever since. In the words of the managing partner Roman Hiersig: „Safety in our industry is a must, and so we just developed it into one of our strengths.“

Flexibility, quality, on-time delivery, experts – these are all our arguments for more safety, for which we are highly appreciated as a specialist for special gears. The knowledge of industry-specific challenges, short development and production cycles, an interdisciplinary expertise and the conviction that product quality is much more than just product turn our products into customised solutions.
