What REHM does
REHM GmbH u. Co. KG Schweißtechnik is a privately held German manufacturer of premium welding and cutting equipment, founded in 1974 and headquartered in Uhingen, Germany. The company designs, manufactures, and sells welding machines and accessories under the REHM brand, employing approximately 125 people across production, development, sales, and administration. REHM serves industrial customers in steel construction, container construction, vehicle manufacturing, pipeline construction, and heavy fabrication, as well as trade/craft (Handwerk) customers, mobile assembly/installation operators, and private users. All products are manufactured exclusively in Germany.
The product portfolio spans MIG/MAG welding machines (FOCUS.ARC P, MEGA.ARC P, SYNERGIC.ARC), TIG welding machines (INVERTIG i, TIGER digital), MMA electrode inverters (BOOSTER.PRO 230, BOOSTER2), plasma cutting systems (BARRACUDA), hand-held laser welding systems (RHL 1500 S, RHL 800), and a collaborative welding robot (REHM COBOT) system. Technical differentiation rests on proprietary welding processes — FOCUS.PULS, HYPER.PULS, POWER.PULS, DUAL.WAVE, HYPER.SPOT, FOCUS.ARC, POWER.ARC — and the SIRIUS digital operating system, which provides Industry 4.0 connectivity via Ethernet, USB, CAN bus, LAN, WLAN, and 2.4 GHz radio, with documented performance claims of 50% cost reduction, 70% lower fume exposure, and 80% less rework.
REHM operates a hybrid go-to-market: direct manufacturer sales and service through locations in Uhingen and Singen, an authorized dealer/distributor network covering all 16 German states, 20+ European countries, and international markets (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Chile, Egypt, India, Israel/Palestine, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand), plus a proprietary e-commerce shop. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of welding equipment and accessories, supplemented by service contracts, repair, and equipment rental. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Named enterprise reference customers include Stahlbau Heil, KASPAR SCHULZ, Fortuna, and HEXA-METAL. REHM has been owner-operated for over 50 years with no disclosed external institutional investment.
