Core offering

Reiners + Fürst manufactures and sells precision spinning rings and ring travellers used in ring spinning machines for the textile industry. The company produces both spinning rings and ring travellers in-house at an early stage with extremely high manufacturing depth, offering multiple product tiers (Champion, Turbo, CeraDur for short staple; J/HZ for long staple) and auxiliary devices (SpinCleaner, C Pixer, J Pixer) for spinning mills worldwide.

Product overview

Reiners + Fürst is a third-generation family-owned company offering a comprehensive portfolio of premium spinning rings and ring travellers for short staple and long staple (worsted) spinning applications, along with auxiliary devices. The product line comprises three ring quality tiers for short staple spinning (Turbo, CeraDur, Champion), two for long staple spinning (J/HZ SG and J/HZ Sinter Steel), six ring traveller variants for short staple (BlackSpeed, SuperSpeed, Avus, Vector, DiaDur, CeraDur), and four for long staple spinning (SuperPolish, Hard Chrome, Nylon, NylonSteel). The portfolio is unified by the proprietary LOOP® turning technology for ring manufacturing and a shared focus on high manufacturing precision, lubrication film optimization, and extended service life. Supporting products include SpinCleaner SC 1 for fibre cleaning and C/J Pixer devices for traveller insertion. The company emphasizes in-house production with extremely high manufacturing depth, enabling rapid integration of product and process improvements for customers.

Products and services

• Turbo Ring Premium class of chrome-plated spinning rings with very high manufacturing precision for short staple spinning, combining best run-in properties, quickly achievable maximum speeds, optimal lubrication film build-up, and long service life. Used by industrial spinning mills.
• CeraDur Ring High-end coated spinning ring with nearly diamond-hard surface designed for high spindle speeds and very long traveller service lives under extreme spinning conditions. Features extremely low tolerances with special coating inclusions. Used in industrial spinning mills.
• Champion Ring Economic universal ring made of fine-grained, alloyed ball bearing 100Cr6 steel with microfine surface structure for smoothly gliding running surface, providing flexibility, durability, and consistent yarn quality across all yarn types and thread counts. Used by spinning mills.
• J / HZ SG Rings Steel rings made of specially selected high-quality steels with very high wear resistance due to special heat treatment, universally applicable for worsted yarn spinning across wide range of raw material qualities and yarn counts. Lubricated through wick loops or felts. Used by worsted yarn producers.
• J / HZ Sinter Steel Rings Sintered steel rings for special quality requirements of worsted yarn spinning, facilitating maximum speeds with simultaneously lowest head contamination. Optimized for draw twisting with hard chrome steel travellers. Used by worsted yarn producers.
• SuperSpeed Ring Traveller All-rounder ring traveller with standard wear-resistant nickel coating and good gliding properties, designed for maximum speeds combined with superb finish for high yarn quality and long traveller service lives. Used by industrial spinning mills.
• Avus Ring Traveller Top-selling ring traveller offering optimized start-up behaviour with immediate optimum attachment on the ring and gentle handling of lubrication film for high-speed spinning. Used by industrial spinning mills.
• Vector Ring Traveller Special ring traveller with built-in lubrication coating developed for use under low lubrication conditions such as compact spinning, featuring embedded special lubricant for stable lubrication film and low yarn breaking incidences. Used by compact spinning operations.
• DiaDur Ring Traveller Premium ring traveller with high-quality nickel coating for highest requirements, featuring particularly low friction values in thread passage and gentle yarn passage for highest yarn quality with high spindle speeds. Used by industrial spinning mills.
• CeraDur Ring Traveller High-end coated ring traveller providing 5- to 10-fold traveller service life, redefining endurance performance with lowest friction values, wear-resistant surface, and consistent production programs for large batches. Used by industrial spinning mills.
• BlackSpeed Ring Traveller Optimized standard ring traveller with black oxide layer providing corrosion resistance and excellent heat emission, suitable for standard ring qualities with improved wear protection and good lubrication film build-up. Used by industrial spinning mills.
• J / HZ SuperPolish Ring Traveller High quality ring travellers for worsted yarn customers with excellent spinning results, optimized for conical and vertical spinning rings, featuring geometric accuracy, burr-free polished surfaces, and corrosion protection. Used by worsted yarn producers.
• HZ Hard Chrome Ring Traveller Hard chrome plated ring traveller for long staple spinning applications, providing durability and wear resistance for processing synthetic continuous filaments, tyre cord twine, glass yarn, and sewing threads.
• Nylon Ring Traveller Ring traveller made of nylon for long staple spinning, offering specific performance characteristics for certain yarn types and processing conditions.
• NylonSteel Ring Traveller Hybrid ring traveller combining nylon and steel properties for long staple spinning applications.
• SpinCleaner SC 1 Flock cleaning machine for cleaning accumulated fibre fly from spinning machines, effectively preventing machine damage while maintaining consistently high yarn quality with robust, drop-resistant design. Used by industrial spinning mills.
• C Pixer Ring traveller insertion device for quick and damage-free insertion of all flange travellers, featuring robust design with high-load mechanical parts made from wear-resistant materials for long service life. Used by industrial spinning mills.
• J Pixer Ring traveller insertion device optimized for spinning mill use with high-load mechanical construction from wear-resistant materials, featuring simple handling and service friendliness for fast traveller changes. Used by industrial spinning mills.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Toyota Industries (Howa / Toyota KTTM): Major ring spinning machine OEM and strategic partner of R+F. Represents an incumbent with vertical integration potential in components alongside its spinning frame business.
• SKF Group: Global precision bearings and steel components manufacturer. Comparable in metallurgical expertise and precision turning of hardened steel (100Cr6), though serving broader industrial customers beyond textiles.
• Saurer Group: Spinning and twisting machinery conglomerate that includes Schlafhorst and Zinser brands — key R+F OEM partners. Represents a larger incumbent that could in-source or expand component capabilities.
• Rieter: Global leader in spinning systems, integrating machine manufacturing with components (including via Bräcker/Suessen). A partner-OEM for R+F that also competes downstream as a broader incumbent in the spinning value chain.

Direct peers

• Graf + Cie AG: Swiss precision textile component maker with comparable focus on spinning elements and metalworking expertise, overlapping with R+F on customer base and precision manufacturing requirements.
• Spindelfabrik Süssen (Suessen): Specialist in spinning components and drafting systems (now part of Rieter). Overlaps with R+F on precision textile components serving the same OEM and spinning mill customers.
• Bräcker AG: Historic Swiss manufacturer of ring travellers and spinning components (now part of the Rieter group). Direct competitor in the same ring/traveller category with comparable product depth and OEM relationships.
