Reha Gmbh

What Reha Gmbh does

Reha GmbH (legal name: reha gmbh zur beruflichen und sozialen Teilhabe von Menschen mit Behinderung) is a private German social enterprise headquartered in Saarbrücken, Saarland, founded in 1969 as a certified workshop for people with disabilities (Werkstatt für behinderte Menschen, WfbM). The company employs approximately 950 people across five locations in Saarland, integrating people with and without disabilities across business operations, retail, residential care, and social programs. It is governed by Managing Directors Rüdiger Clemens and Thomas Vogelgesang, with Michael Hamm as Chairman of the Supervisory Board, and has a wholly-owned social-services subsidiary, reha next gGmbH.

Reha's commercial operations center on B2B printing, fulfillment, and logistics services. The DruckCenter operates digital and offset printing systems with a combined digital output capacity of 80,000 DIN A4 pages per hour, while the LogistikCenter in Lebach and dedicated FulfillmentCenter handle e-commerce warehousing, kitting, pick-and-pack, and shipping for clients such as edubily. The company dispatches more than 20 million letters annually through lettershop processing and offers document digitization and archiving, address verification (ACheck), office administration (abakus), and the SECUtransfer GDPR-compliant secure data transfer portal. Retail operations are conducted through CAP-Märkte, a 25-year EDEKA-affiliated network of inclusive neighborhood supermarkets, supplemented by 'Das besondere Kaufhaus' social charity shops.

Reha's go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with a dedicated Vertriebsteam targeting enterprise and public-sector customers in Saarland and across Germany. Pricing is based on net list prices or individual quotation, and customers benefit from a structurally reduced 7% VAT rate (versus the standard 19%) under German sheltered-workshop tax law, plus potential exemptions from the Ausgleichsabgabe compensation levy. The company reinforces its positioning through the Soziales Siegel (Social Seal) certification program, the biannual 'reha inform' customer magazine (54 issues since 1999), and partnerships spanning Special Olympics Saarland, win-Netzwerk, EDEKA, and the EU-co-financed INCLUREG cross-border employment project (2024-2028, €4.52 million budget).

Regional players

• Maindruck GmbH: German commercial printing and lettershop provider offering offset/digital print, document mailing, and fulfillment services comparable to Reha's DruckCenter and Lettershop offerings, though without the sheltered-workshop VAT advantage.

Broad incumbents

• Bundesdruckerei: German state-affiliated secure printing and identity services provider with comparable secure document production (SECUtransfer-adjacent) and high-security printing infrastructure, operating at substantially greater national scale.
• Hermes Fulfilment (Otto Group): Large third-party fulfillment and e-commerce logistics provider in Germany offering warehousing, kitting, and shipping services that directly overlap with Reha's e-commerce fulfillment business for clients like edubily.
• CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA: German printing group (photofinishing, commercial print, marketing services) with comparable offset/digital production infrastructure; overlaps with Reha's commercial print and lettershop value proposition at a much larger national scale.
• BAG WfbM (Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Werkstätten für behinderte Menschen): Federal association of German sheltered workshops that Reha belongs to; represents the broader category of Werkstätten offering integrated vocational and social services, comparable in mission and structure even though it is an advocacy body rather than a direct operating competitor.
• Iron Mountain Deutschland: Global document digitization, archiving, and secure storage provider with a German footprint offering services comparable to Reha's Digitalisierung und Archivierung line, though at much larger enterprise scale.

Direct peers

• FLYERALARM: Germany-headquartered commercial printing and marketing services group offering offset/digital print, lettershop, and integrated marketing logistics; directly comparable to Reha's printing and mailing portfolio, albeit at substantially larger scale and without the sheltered-workshop status.
• Onlineprinters (drucksplanet / diedruckerei.de): Large-volume offset and digital print broker serving B2B customers across Germany and Europe; competes directly with Reha's Offset- und Digitaldruck business for brochures, flyers, and business reports, but operates at much greater scale and via an online-first model.
• Caritas Werkstätten (CW): Confessional sheltered workshop network offering printing, packaging, and assembly services to B2B customers; comparable to Reha in operating model, regulatory VAT advantage, and service mix, with overlapping social-enterprise positioning.
• Lebenshilfe Werkstätten: Network of sheltered workshops across Germany offering vocational integration combined with commercial services (printing, packaging, assembly); the closest operating peer to Reha in terms of business model combining Werkstatt status with B2B printing/fulfillment services.
