Best Practices for Implementing an External Recruiting Partnership
TORSIONALLY RIGID AND HIGHLY FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS By REICH-KUPPLUNGEN Dipl Ing Herwarth Reich GmbH
1. Your drive is our strength.
Your strength is our drive.
2. 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 inter-
nationally 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 solu-
tions 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 di-
verse 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

We are thinking ahead
3. Our employees are the very key to success. It is
their motivation and creativity which set things in
motion. More than 200 Reich employees are avail-
able worldwide to provide customers and their
products with driving innovations.
Our customers are the central focus of our busi-
ness. Because it is them for whom our employees
are finding optimal solutions for power transmis-
sion tasks – in a reliable and competent way and
with personal dedication.
The recipe for our success is called D2C. This
acronym stands for “Designed to Customer” and
puts the philosophy of REICH-KUPPLUNGEN in
a nutshell: Reich customers are not only supplied
with goods from the catalogue but also with cou-
plings which are developed and tailor-made to
their specific needs.
This special form of close D2C cooperation ranges
from consultation, development, manufacture and
integration into existing environments to custom-
specific production and logistics concepts – and all
this worlwide.
We not only develop couplings
but solutions!
Customers and employees
Success through partnership
4. REICH-KUPPLUNGEN puts the emphasis on cut-
ting-edge production methods in its component
manufacturing processes: The equipment ranges
from CNC machining centres with CAD/CAM sys-
tems to vulcanising presses for elastomer pro-
duction employing the transfer method.
The ISO 9001 certified quality management sys-
tem comes up with close-to-production test and
inspection systems and thus warrants compliance
with the customers’ requirements. The associated
documentation is prepared according to certified
and customer audited systems. We furthermore
hold approvals from recognised classification
societies for shipbuilding and marine applications.
Continual improvement is a matter of course for
REICH-KUPPLUNGEN: This is why we continually
invest in production facilities, test and inspection
equipment, and in the optimisation of production
processes. Large logistics areas for raw materials
and finished products strengthen our commitment
to on-time delivery.
Quality and environmental protection play a vital
role in all company areas – from development via
the purchasing and production processes to logis-
tics. Our ISO 14001 certificate provides evidence
to the fact that REICH-KUPPLUNGEN produces
in an environmentally sound manner in compliance
with an internationally recognised environmental
management system.
Our company owes its overall positive image to
its strict adherence to defined processes, to the
systematic controls, and, last but not least, to the
clear awareness of the common corporate ob-
jectives among all its employees.
Manufacture, quality, environment and safety
All in unison
5. High-tech, know-how, and technical curiosity –
this is how the most important features of our re-
search and development (R&D) department can
be described. It goes without saying that thinking
outside the box is a fundamental for our developers
and designers: We continually verify proven so-
lutions and optimise them for the latest technical
and commercial aspects. By using the most ad-
vanced calculation and simulation software and
highly dynamic coupling test benches, we are able
to manufacture products which provide our cus-
tomers with maximum benefit.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that the com-
pany REICH-KUPPLUNGEN has over 65 years of
expertise in the field of development and manu-
facture of rubber components. There are many
good reasons for using this fascinating material:
Apart from being mouldable and flexible, rubber
protects, dampens, insulates, absorbs, decouples,
seals and isolates. In fact, there are hardly any
materials which offer a similarly broad spectrum
of applications. Its unique properties become
particularly apparent when employed in flexible
couplings – for example as a transmission element
that reliably decouples torsional vibrations and
compensates for misalignments.
But rubbers are not all the same: The optimal ap-
plication-tailored rubber compound is selected by
our R&D department based on its comprehensive
expertise and decades of experience with this
material. All employed rubber qualities are devel-
oped by REICH-KUPPLUNGEN and defined by
unique formulations. In this way, we create the
basis for a great variety of effective solutions.

Always looking ahead
6. Diversity of products
The customer has the choice
Our large product portfolio is uncompromisingly
oriented towards the needs of our customers.
REICH-KUPPLUNGEN therefore offers quite a
number of flexible, highly flexible, and torsion-
ally stiff coupling series such as:
• ARCUSAFLEX
• ARCUSAFLEX-VSK
• MULTI MONT
• TOK
• RCT
• FLEXDUR
Thanks to our modular and perfectly matched
catalogue range, our customers are invited to
choose the optimal coupling solution for their
power transmission task. During this process, we
will assist them with advice and support. Compre-
hensive customer care from the initial enquiry
via on-time delivery to commissioning and main-
tenance is one of the great strengths of our sales,
engineering, and service departments.
Through close cooperation with our customers,
we will quickly identify the solution that best
meets their requirements: A coupling of standard
design or an individual special solution – also in
one-off production – in line with the “Designed to
Customer” principle.
We meet the high standards we impose on our
products in terms of quality, safety, and service life
due to well-engineered designs and production
methods. This is why REICH-KUPPLUNGEN has
rightfully earned its excellent reputation regarding
particularly demanding applications, such as:
• Combined heat and power plants and
biogas plants
• Construction machinery and
commercial vehicles
• Agriculture and forest engineering
• Conveying engineering and
plant construction
• Railway engineering
• Shipbuilding and marine engineering
7. Internationalisation is the order of the day. In re-
sponse to the expectations of our export-oriented
customers, REICH-KUPPLUNGEN is providing all
its customers abroad with the same level of ser-
vice as in Germany, through its global presence.
