We combine steel with passion and innovation.
Driving technology. 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.
We put responsibility into practice.
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.
The strength of four generations.
What began with Carl Rieger and Friedrich Dietz and their round steel chains has grown into a leading global family business now in its fourth generation. Our employees worldwide are committed to making conveying, lifting, slinging and lashing easier and more efficient for users across the globe, as well as making driving on difficult terrain safer with anti-skid or tyre protection chains.
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.
