REYHER - full-speed ahead in 2017
13 March 2017
This year at REYHER all systems are set for growth. The logistics and warehousing, product range and services are all geared to the future.
At the turn of the year, an impressive new 42 metre high-rack warehouse with adjacent logistics and office building, covering eight floors, was completed at REYHER’s headquarters in Hamburg, Germany – yet another emphatic statement of the company’s unrelenting commitment to efficiency and customer service, through the use of the latest equipment and technology.
The high-rack warehouse is divided horizontally, meaning that the two levels work independently of one another. The additional 40,000 pallet places created by the new high-rack warehouse have extended REYHER’s total capacity to a staggering 100,000 pallet places.
Whilst ensuring that it is always future orientated, REYHER has never forgotten its roots. This year the company will be 130 years old and it continues to specialise in fasteners and fixing technology. As ever, the main focus is on satisfied customers. REYHER not only sources and delivers reliably, but also provides customers with a full spectrum of related services. The company holds inventory of some 130,000 items ready for delivery, making its range of
fasteners among the widest and in-depth in the field. In addition to standard fasteners the company holds stock of numerous non-standard items, as well as fixing technologies from many highly reputable brand manufacturers.
To guarantee its products are supplied to the high-quality REYHER’s customers have come to expect and rely on, many items are subjected to extensive tests of material and processing in the company’s fully equipped inspection and quality laboratory. Tests include a vast array of optical measurement, spectral analysis, salt spray tests and much more. In addition to standardised or prescribed standard tests, customer specific and agreed testing plans are also possible thanks to the experience and knowledge of the quality department staff.
REYHER not only sources and delivers with an absolute commitment to reliability; it also provides customers with a comprehensive spectrum of related services. This includes sophisticated logistics, technical consulting, e-business solutions, as well as packaging services to compile sets and assemble kits. Material suppliers are supported with Kanban systems or ‘just in time’ deliveries, worldwide C-parts management and much more. It is precisely for these reasons that REYHER is far from simply a trading company, but a real partner – ensuring its customers’ security of supply.
During the last few months, a major focus for REYHER has been on building up the product range with CE markings, particularly for steel construction and load-bearing timber. In addition to structural bolting (SB) stainless steel sets (A2-70), chipboard screws, and wood building screws, many other products with CE markings are now also available.
For Kanban supplies, this year REYHER will also be presenting the new innovative LTB container series. This optimised container is a new joint development between REYHER and SSI SCHÄFER. With its sliding mechanism, high filling capacity and rounded inner walls, the new LTB container series will provide customers with many advantages.
REYHER is active worldwide and is one of Europe’s leading distributors of fastener and fixing technology. Its extensive range of services, in-depth product offer, and company wide drive to satisfy customers, gives it justifiable confidence in another excellent year.
2017 has already started positively, with the completion of the new 42m high-rack warehouse – as well as recognition from the CLAAS group as ‘Supplier of the Year’ in the ‘services’ category in 2016.
“The general challenge for 2017,” says REYHER, “will continue to be fluctuating raw material prices and the anti-dumping measures against China that are under discussion. It is a question of continuing to make the right decisions and act always in the best interests of the customers, just as successfully as we have in the last 130 years.”
