We combine steel with passion and innovation.

Technology moves. Committed to excellence.

Excellence is our standard, innovation is our DNA. We have been shaping our industry for 150 years and actively helping to shape its future. As a pace-setter, we think bigger, go further and challenge ourselves every day. We do not promise to fulfil your expectations, but to significantly exceed them. That’s why we don’t just manufacture products, but develop solutions that make your work more efficient – and open up completely new possibilities for you.

Responsibility works. Preserving sustainability.

But for us, success means more than market leadership. We take responsibility for our employees, partners and the environment, have been producing in a resource-conserving manner for decades, think long-term and act with foresight. Because in the world of RUD, sustainability is not a trend, but a basic principle – and environmental protection is not wishful thinking, but lived reality.

History lives. Changing ideas.

What began with Carl Rieger, Friedrich Dietz and the round steel chain is now a leading global family group with over 1,700 employees in more than 120 countries. With an immense vertical range of manufacture at the Aalen-Unterkochen site, we are experts in a wide range of technical processes. Above all, however, we are pioneers in the industry who scrutinise the status quo every day in order to perfect good things for you. That’s why our solutions for conveying, lifting, pulling, slinging and lashing regularly set new standards and offer you as a customer real competitive advantages.

Convincing products. Inspiring solutions.

Because we are convinced that real added value goes beyond the product, we think even further. We not only support you with strong products, but also with intelligent digital tools and customised services for your daily challenges. All this makes your work noticeably easier and safer.
