What RECK-Technik GmbH & Co KG does

RECK-Technik GmbH & Co KG is a privately held, family-owned German medical device manufacturer founded in 1957 by Anton Reck and headquartered in Betzenweiler, Baden-Württemberg, with an additional site in Dürmentingen and approximately 260 employees. The company designs, develops, and manufactures the MOTOmed line of motorized movement therapy devices, which deliver passive, assistive (via ServoCycling), and active exercise for leg, arm, and combined upper/lower limb training in both seated and supine positions, serving rehabilitation needs in neurology, acute/intensive care, geriatrics, hemodialysis, pediatrics, orthopedics, oncology, and chronic disease management. The product portfolio is organized into model series — loop, layson (advanced edition), muvi, viva2, letto2, and gracile12 — plus specialized variants for pediatric (kidz), professional (prof), and bariatric (movi XXL 22, up to 220 kg) use cases, all "Made in Germany" at the company's Upper Swabia facilities.

RECK monetizes primarily through capital hardware sales of MOTOmed devices, supported by rental and rent-to-own (Mietkauf) options aimed at clinics, and prescription-based distribution in Germany where devices are recognized as reimbursable medical aids (Hilfsmittel) by statutory health insurance funds for many indications. Distribution combines a German direct-sales and medical-supply-store channel of more than 2,000 outlets and an international network of more than 135 trained importers across 128 countries, supplemented by dedicated MOTOmed B2B portals for specialist retailers, health insurance funds, and clinics. The company holds EN ISO 13485:2016 and MDR (EU) 2017/745 certifications, references over 60 peer-reviewed clinical studies across its indications, and self-describes as the world-market leader in motor-assisted movement therapy. Since 2014, the company has been led by second-generation managing director Christine Reck alongside Andreas Reck and Andreas Brauch, with no disclosed institutional investment, M&A, or external funding activity in the source data.
