History
More than 100 years of innovation
Founded over 100 years ago as Machinery factory Reiden, the company produced water turbines in the early years. The need for stable and precise machine tools, which were difficult to find on the market at that time, was recognized early on.
Through continuous development and research, the company was able to build up know-how over decades and incorporate it into new products. Today, Reiden Technik AG is one of the most innovative and renowned companies in the machine tool industry.
