What RIEGLER does

RIEGLER & Co. KG is a privately held German limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) headquartered in Bad Urach, Baden-Württemberg, that distributes compressed air technology and pneumatics components to industrial customers. Founded in 1936 and led by General Partner Jürgen Wacker, the company operates as a specialist catalog distributor rather than a manufacturer, sourcing threaded fittings, push-in fittings, hose couplings, pneumatic cylinders, control valves, pressure and temperature measurement devices, industrial valves, hoses, noise-damping equipment, sealants, vacuum components, and welding equipment across 14 major product categories. The business carries sub-brands including RIEGLER SAFETY and the Blue Series push-in fittings line, and holds RoHS, REACH, and ATEX certifications on relevant product lines.

The company runs primarily as a B2B e-commerce platform at riegler.de, with German, English, and Dutch storefronts, and serves customers through same-day shipping, a 75 EUR free-delivery threshold, account-based pricing, requisition lists, quick-order functionality, and downloadable CAD data via PARTcommunity. Shipping is handled through GLS parcel service and DSV freight, with self-pickup available at the Bad Urach warehouse. The pricing model is unit-based per product, with login-gated availability and final pricing; no subscription or recurring revenue model is disclosed, and customer segments are described as industrial manufacturing and engineering end-users spread across Germany and the Netherlands.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time product transactions on the e-commerce storefront. No revenue figures, funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership changes, or institutional investors are disclosed. The company has no patents or trademarks on file, operates with 51-100 employees, and is independently owned with no parent company, positioning it as a stable, mature mid-market industrial distributor rather than a venture-backed growth business.

Product overview

RIEGLER is a specialist distributor and online retailer of compressed air technology and pneumatics components. The product portfolio is organized as a comprehensive catalog of industrial components rather than a unified software platform. The core offerings span 14 major product categories: Threaded Fittings, Line Connectors (Leitungsverbinder), Hose Couplings, Hoses and Pipes, Treatment and Regulation equipment, Industrial Valves, Compressed Air Guns, Pressure and Temperature Measurement devices, Control Valves, Pneumatic Cylinders, Noise Damping, Sealants and Adhesives, Vacuum systems, and Welding equipment. The product line includes sub-categories such as the Blue Series push-in fittings, Adjustable Bite-Type Tube Fittings (Einstellbare Schneidring-Verschraubungen), and the Multi-Link compressed air distribution system. Featured products include rodless cylinders (ZRL1C and ZRL1F) with ATEX certification for explosive atmospheres. RIEGLER serves industrial customers through a B2B e-commerce platform offering same-day shipping, CAD data access, and project services.
