REIKU North America

What REIKU North America does

REIKU North America is a private subsidiary of German parent REIKU (founded 1969), established around 2017 and headquartered in Stow, Ohio. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes hi-tech cable protection and cable management systems primarily for industrial and collaborative robots. Its core offering is the Cable Saver™ modular system, which combines patented Energy Tube/Spring Tube assemblies with Nylon 12 conduit, gripping clamps, and end-of-arm termination hardware (Frying Pan assemblies). The portfolio spans multiple conduit material series — PARA Nylon 12 (tested to 15M+ reverse bend cycles), PARR Nylon 12 (10M+ cycles), BIORR bio-friendly castor-bean-oil conduit (17M+ cycles), and PURR/PURV polyurethane variants — along with components such as Cablestar grommets, rotary base flanges, ball joints, and robot-model-specific adapter brackets covering 100+ industrial and collaborative robot models from ABB, FANUC, KUKA, Kawasaki, Nachi, Yaskawa/Motoman, Universal Robots, Omron, and Hanwha.

REIKU sells through a two-tier distribution model: an industrial distributor network across the US and Canada (with suggested retail and published distributor cost pricing on standard SKUs) and a direct enterprise sales team handling complex quotations, custom designs, and technical support. Pricing reflects a hardware-led revenue model — Cable Saver Kits retail between $1,149 and $1,602, while individual components and replacement conduit range from $6 to $554. A web-based conduit size calculator and an extensive digital library of catalogs, datasheets, CAD/STEP files, and installation videos support technical buyers and integrators. End markets include automotive, aviation, marine, mass transportation, heavy machinery, food manufacturing, material handling, and packaging industries where robotic automation requires durable, high-cycle cable protection. Compliance certifications include REACH, RoHS, MSDS, UL Listed, and CSA Certified.

The company positions itself as the "North American market leader" in robotic cable management, leveraging parent-company heritage (50+ years), patented Energy Tube technology, and exact Form Fit Function (F.F.F.) compatibility with competitor systems from LEONI, Murrplastik, and PMA to reduce switching friction. The business is wholly-owned by REIKU Germany with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or leadership changes in the available data.

Core offering

REIKU North America manufactures and distributes cable protection systems for industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots). Its product line includes modular Cable Saver Kits and CoBot Saver kits, five specialized conduit series (PARA, PARR, BIORR, PURR, PURV), and a catalog of related components such as mounts, gripping clamps, termination assemblies, and replacement parts engineered for continuous-flex robotic duty cycles.

Product overview

REIKU North America offers a comprehensive portfolio of hi-tech cable protection and robotic cable management solutions. The core product offering consists of two main modular kit systems: the Cable Saver™ Kit (available in 36mm, 52mm, and 70mm sizes) for industrial robots, and Cobot Saver Kits for collaborative robots. These modular kits work in conjunction with a full range of spare robotic components including gripping clamps, jaws, conduit protectors, Cablestar grommets, rotary base flanges, ball joint assemblies, spring retraction components, end of arm mounting hardware (Frying Pans and Cow's Mouth), and halo assemblies. The company also provides multiple conduit material series (PARA Nylon 12, PARR Nylon 12, BIORR Bio-Friendly, PURR Polyurethane, and PURV Heavy-Weight Polyurethane) tested for millions of bend cycles. Supporting tools include an online Conduit Size Calculator. Additionally, the company offers a complete line of UL/CSA approved electrical products including conduit products, connectors, and fittings for non-robotic electrical applications. All products are supported by compatibility with major robot brands including ABB, Fanuc, Kawasaki, KUKA, Nachi, and Yaskawa/Motoman.
