About us

Our employees are our driving force and make us proud

100 years of innovation and quality

Since its foundation in 1925, REO has stood for technical excellence, innovative strength and reliable quality. What once began as a small manufactory for lighting solutions in Berlin under the motto ‘Reklame Erster Ordnung’ (First Order Advertising) has developed over the decades into a leading manufacturer of inductive, resistive and electronic components as well as customised complete solutions.

Over the course of a century, REO has continued to develop – technologically, structurally and geographically. From its beginnings in advertising technology and cinema lighting, the first products for industry quickly emerged. With increasing electrification and the advent of modern technologies, REO opened up more and more new markets and areas of application. The company’s headquarters were relocated from Berlin to Solingen after the Second World War and in the decades that followed, the company not only advanced the technological development of its products, but also expanded its international presence with sales offices in Europe, North America and Asia.

Thanks to 100 years of experience and expertise in the development and production of products to the highest quality standards, REO is now a preferred partner for numerous industries and sectors worldwide. Behind this success is not only a product portfolio of the highest quality, but above all a corporate culture that is characterised by the cohesion, passion and innovative spirit of its people, the REO family.

A driving force

Chairman of the Executive Board Philip Twellsieck

“As a family business in its fourth generation, we have been characterised by strong cohesion for 100 years. Our employees, but also our business partners and service providers, are at the centre of everything we do, so that performance and motivation are rewarded. This makes me personally very proud, as our philosophy allows us to hold our own in international comparison, where the working atmosphere is largely different. This shows that we are on the right track.”
