Quality and precision – these are the assets Reichmann & Sohn has become renowned for in the sector of machine technology.
Foundation of the company
In 1914 Josef Reichmann formed the company Reichmann in Langgrün in Karlsbad, Sudetenland. Starting with workshop grinding, polishing and other machining processes, the scope of technical possibilities has been constantly expanded to include deburring machines and cut-off machines for mass-produced castings.
Comeback after the war
After the war in 1946 Franz Reichmann – son of Josef Reichmann – restarted the production at Weissenhorn.
New factory building at Weissenhorn
In 1964, Reichmann established a new 20,000qm building area.
Production of ski and snowboard service machines
Reichmann manufactured base grinding and edge grinding equipment, milling machines, ski-cleaning equipment and chain-linking equipment for the ski industry. In 1980 1000 units of grinding and polishing machines were sold worldwide to ski manufacturers and innovative ski-service establishments.
Hence, in 1982 Reichmann started the production of 
ski and snowboard tuning machines. In cooperation with distributors the service machines were installed worldwide in ski resorts, by specialized sports dealers, rent shops, hotels, service operators and renowned ski manufacturers such as, Rossignol, Völkl, Nidecker, Scott and Head and many more.
Deburring, grinding and cut-off equipment with robotic assistance
Since the nineties the production of specialized cast iron finishing and cut-off machines has become an important third division for Reichmann & Sohn Company. Cast iron components are applied for mass produced castings such as in the automotive industry and its suppliers (blocks, heads, discs, propellers…), aviation industry (i.e. turbine blades), railway castings (axles, brackets, clutches,…) and medical spares for the human body (hips, knees, …).
The comprehensive programme offered by Reichmann & Sohn today includes workshop grinders, tool grinding machines, twist drill sharpening machines, polishing motors, surface belt grinders, belt grinding machines and cut-off machines for precision cuts on hardened bars, rails and spindles as well as for ingate systems and flash removal on cast parts. In addition to series-produced models, tailor made machining systems permit the optimum adaption to individual requirements. The combination with robots and handling systems, transfer stations and corresponding software enables the development of complete machining centres which excel for their precision and performance and greatly enhance manufacturing efficiency.
Strengthened for the future
With their competence in the area of grinding and cutting Reichmann & Sohn Company possess three independent product sectors which guarantee a stable turnover. Grinding, polishing and cut-off machines for the metal manufacturing sector; specialized grinding and deburring machines for iron foundries; as well as ski tuning machines for ski tuning workshops provide a global presence. Coordinated from the headquarters in Weissenhorn, today we have about 80 employees separated in different departments to achieve the best results for our clients. Reichmann & Sohn has already supplied many renowned international establishments.
We advise our customers from the start of strategy planning, to the execution of the production process to the maintenance service for the investment goods. The increase in internationalization in the past years required the integration of more partners into the worldwide partner network around the globe. At the moment in the all important market developments and sales partnerships the need to promptly cover high quality “Made in Germany” products exists worldwide.
