clips, end-pieces, connectors, joint connections and
cablestars, REIKU is one of the European market
leaders in this field.
Supplements to the current product range include
system sheathings with zip closure, the REIKU heat
protection materials GLASO, GLASIL and Kevlar
for applications in which cables and components
have to be protected against temperatures of up
to 800 °C, and fine-braided tubings as a fast and
clean solution for the protection of cables that
have to be laid flexibly or retain their flexibility. In
view of the continuously increasing market success,
David Guitton adds: “Among the most important
applications of our products are industrial robots and,
in particular, extremely flexible cobots, in which our
in-house development team works closely together
with Universal Robots, Kuka and others. Especially
here we are seeing rapidly growing demand for our
cable protection systems, which is stretching the
production and storage facilities at our site in Wiehl-
Bomig to their limits. To ease the situation, we intend
to acquire more building land in the direct vicinity of
our existing site before the end of this year.”
