REINER

What REINER does

REINER (legal entity: Ernst REINER GmbH & Co. KG) is a family-owned German industrial group headquartered in Furtwangen im Schwarzwald, operating since 1913. The company runs four product lines: (1) mobile marking devices under the jetStamp and speed-i-Jet brands using Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) technology for label-free direct printing on surfaces such as cardboard, wood, plastic, metal, and glass; (2) hand and electric stamps with traditional craftsmanship; (3) precision contract manufacturing covering Metal Injection Moulding (MIM), zinc die-casting, injection molding, fine blanking, and Yaskawa robotic welding/ milling; and (4) self-service scanner modules and constant printers integrated into bank ATMs and kiosks, where REINER claims market leadership. The group operates a parent Kommanditgesellschaft plus two subsidiaries - REINER innoLAB (innovation and startup support, launched online November 2025) and a minority strategic stake in YAXI GmbH (acquired October 2025) targeting Open Banking and secure data solutions.

The company employs over 200 staff and manufactures all product lines in Germany, holding DIN EN ISO 9001 certification via Kiwa. Revenue is generated from hardware sales (marking devices, stamps, scanner modules), contract precision manufacturing services, fixed-price repair services with a 6-month warranty, and one-time software licenses (PCset graphic). Customer segments span industrial manufacturing, banking and financial institutions, public administration and postal services, and external precision parts customers, served primarily through a network of 97 sales and service partners across 97+ countries, a B2B dealer portal, and direct field sales in southern Germany. Integration support extends to SAP, Microsoft Word and Excel, Deutsche Post and Swiss Post stamp software, and label software. Marketing is conducted via the corporate website, a dedicated marking subdomain, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and HubSpot automation, supplemented by international trade fair participation including Pro Pack Cape Town (October 2026) and Interpack 2026.

The company is led by Managing Director Frank Stauch and is structured as a German Kommanditgesellschaft with the personally liable partner REINER Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH. No external institutional, private equity, or venture capital ownership is indicated in the source materials, and the YAXI investment is described as a strategic minority position rather than a change of control.
