Reishauer K.K.

Reishauer AG, headquartered in Wallisellen, Switzerland, stands as the global technology leader in the field of gear grinding. The company’s deep historical roots trace back to its founding in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1788 as a family-owned business. Initially, the firm produced hand tools, but by the 1930s, it transitioned into machine tool manufacturing. A pivotal moment came in 1945 with the launch of the world's first generating gear grinding machine, an invention that established the continuous gear grinding process—a method that defined the industry standard for high-precision gear finishing.

Operating under the guiding principle of defining the standard of technology itself, Reishauer provides comprehensive process solutions, often referred to as its "Circle of Competence." This holistic system encompasses advanced gear grinding machines (such as the RZ series for automotive and universal applications), optimally matched tools (in-house developed grinding wheels, diamond dressing tools, and clamping fixtures), automation systems (Reishauer Ladersysteme), and cutting-edge digital solutions (including the ARGUS Monitoring System, Closed Loop processes, and the myReishauer application platform). By offering everything from a single source, Reishauer ensures the perfect coordination of all process elements, thereby guaranteeing the highest levels of quality, productivity, and the lowest cost per piece in hard gear finishing.

A core strength of Reishauer is its unwavering commitment to quality, backed by a high degree of vertical integration. All core components of its performance systems are developed and manufactured internally at its Swiss plants. This meticulous approach guarantees the superior precision, quality, and process stability for which Reishauer machines are renowned globally. This has resulted in the majority of hard-finished gears worldwide being ground on Reishauer machines, leading to a market share exceeding 50%. The company’s technology is instrumental in producing durable, highly efficient, and, critically, low-noise transmissions, meeting the rigorous demands of the automotive and general machinery industries. The company is led by CEO Marcus Setterberg and employs between 201 and 500 staff globally, with branches providing localized support and service across major markets, including Japan, Germany, and the USA.
