What Rinco Ultrasonics does

Rinco Ultrasonics is a Swiss manufacturer of ultrasonic welding and cutting equipment, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Romanshorn, Switzerland. The company designs and produces pneumatic and electric ultrasonic welding machines, cutting devices, generators, actuators, hand-held welding units, and components for industrial joining and material processing applications. It has operated as a subsidiary of the Crest Group since 1996 and maintains a commercial and service presence in more than 40 countries with 160+ employees globally, serving OEMs and contract manufacturers across automotive, medical technology, packaging, food processing, high-tech, non-woven/textile, household, and cosmetics end markets.

The company's core technology is ultrasonic welding, in which high-frequency mechanical vibrations are used to bond plastics, metals, and textiles without adhesives, fasteners, or external heat. Its principal current technology platform is the Electrical Motion series, which replaced the legacy pneumatic architecture with an electric drive that is claimed to deliver 78% energy savings and supports Industry 4.0 connectivity. Rinco holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 14001 certifications, qualifying its equipment for use in regulated medical-device and automotive production environments. The company actively publishes application reports and is developing new use cases, including RFID chip embedding and advanced packaging applications, with a multi-product showcase planned for Fakuma 2026.

Rinco operates a business-to-business capital equipment model. Revenue is generated through the sale of machines, spare components, and aftermarket service to industrial manufacturers. Customers include both OEMs and tier suppliers, supported by direct sales, subsidiaries in markets such as Sweden and Poland, and distribution partners elsewhere. Detailed financial performance is not disclosed in the source material. With 50 years of operating history and continued product and geographic expansion, Rinco functions as a stable, mid-sized niche specialist within its parent group's portfolio.
