REINER® – The Company
Ernst REINER® GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned company founded in 1913, headquartered in Furtwangen in the Black Forest. The company develops and manufactures mobile marking devices, manual and electric stamps, self-service scanners and OCR printers as well as high-quality precision parts as contract manufacturing. In the field of precision engineering, REINER® offers Metal Injection Moulding (MIM/metal injection moulding) as a contract service, complemented by sintering and debinding, toolmaking for fine-blanking and mould tools, design engineering, welding with a welding robot, and hybrid manufacturing of metal-plastic components. All product lines are manufactured at the Furtwangen site "Made in Germany". Customers come from industry, public administration and the banking sector; with more than 60 representatives and two subsidiaries (REINER® SCT, Horray), the company is internationally represented. The quality management system has been certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 since 2001.

Processes and Materials
Metal Injection Moulding (metal injection moulding)
Contract manufacturing for the production of cost-effective precision parts with high design freedom in geometry and materials.
Sintering and Debinding
Heat treatment steps of the MIM process; expanded in 2021 through additional and larger furnace capacities.
Hybrid Metal-Plastic Manufacturing
Combination of metal and plastic components, e.g. the hybrid spindle nut for lifting elements in scanners.
Welding
Joining process with the Compact Art welding robot for precise and flexible welded joints.
Contract Manufacturing of Precision Parts
High-quality, durable precision parts as contract manufacturing for a wide range of industries.
