About Reinle Gummi & Kunststoff
Reinle Gummi & Kunststoff GmbH is a certified manufacturer of technical parts made of rubber, plastics and insulation materials based in Pleinfeld-Mischelbach (Middle Franconia). As a Tier-1 supplier in the automotive industry, the company produces, among other things, more than 10 million acoustic fleeces per year and supplies almost all well-known OEMs as well as numerous Tier-n suppliers. Its manufacturing capabilities include die-cutting including kiss-cut and cut-and-seal, laser cutting and engraving, CNC milling in 2D and 3D, cutting/plotting, waterjet cutting, profile processing, laminating and cladding, parting off, vulcanization and bonding, as well as 3D printing and anti-slip coatings. Materials processed include plastics, rubber and silicones, cellular materials, fleeces and felts, adhesive tapes and profiles. In addition to contract manufacturing, Reinle offers complete solutions with assembly of modules, its own in-house tool and fixture making, logistics services (just-in-time, just-in-sequence, consignment warehouse, worldwide delivery) and trading in over 1,000 raw materials and semi-finished products. The plant site covers approximately 20,000 m² and employs more than 100 staff; deliveries are made throughout Germany, the EU and worldwide.
