Code

Code of ethical conduct

This code of ethics is mandatory to all Reich companies. Adhering to national and international standards and guidelines as well as the laws and regulations of the countries who with and where we work is a prerequisite requirement.

Responsible conduct is highly regarded at Reich. Our employees, customers, suppliers and partners are expected to adhere to the same moral imperatives.

1. Company philosophy

Reich stands for integrity, sustainability and quality.

The company motto of Reich is “Precision to move“.

2. History

Reich was founded in 1919. The vision of two brothers evolved from the production of bicycle bells into realizing modern mechanical technology. Simultaneously, the company developed from a small family business to an internationally operating enterprise. Reich draws its strength from actively promoting and following its code and principles.
