Our path to Co₂-neutral products and production

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTS

REO takes responsibility for our environment and sees itself as an active participant in the decarbonization process. Therefore, we invest in CO₂-neutral production at our sites and continuously develop our products. With the help of new technologies and new ways of thinking, we can thereby continuously reduce energy consumption and emissions.

INNOVATIONS FOR CO₂ NEUTRALITY

REO is on a consistent path to greater sustainability. We have set the course for a sustainable future and stand behind our ambitious goals. Our claim to be one of the leading suppliers of resistive and inductive components is based on a holistic strategy that includes all production and business areas. Learn more about our goals and our important milestones towards CO₂-neutral production.

REO PRODUCTS CONSERVE RESOURCES

With REO products, you can play a part in minimizing the waste of resources and ensuring that your devices and machines are characterized by a long service life and low maintenance requirements. As a result, you set up your applications solidly and can assume a useful life of up to 30 years and save financial resources just by the comparatively very low maintenance costs.

Our path to zero emissions in production

As a global supplier of innovative resistive and inductive components, REO accepts the challenge of helping to shape social changes in the areas of life, industry, infrastructure and mobility. We meet the requirements of environmental protection by constantly working on improving the environmental balance of our products and production. To this end, we offer products for sustainable energy production and for the electrification of industries previously powered by fossil fuels. Furthermore, our products not only reduce energy consumption, but are also produced in Germany in a resource-saving manner.

Our goals

Implementation of energy audits according to DIN 16247
We develop products that are environmentally compatible in their respective market segment
We design all stages of production to be as environmentally compatible as possible
We offer our customers environmentally oriented solutions and environmentally oriented information
We strive for an exemplary environmental balance worldwide

REO AG is committed to the principle of sustainability and regards economic development, environmental protection and social responsibility as equally important goals.

Save money and protect the environment with REO

Why REO products protect the environment and save money.

Through high-quality materials and careful processing, we save resources and extend the life of our products. This means less expenses for you, because you have to buy new products less often. If the competitor’s products are cheaper to buy, this is usually at the expense of quality and ultimately to the detriment of the environment. This is because low-quality materials and mass production without detailed final inspection lead to rapid wear and frequent replacement. This has financial consequences and, on balance, increases the use of resources through the manufacture of new products or spare parts.

What we pass on to our customers

Long life spans and sensible use of resources

Raw materials and energy are important resources for the production, use and consumption of products and applications. However, their use is also closely related to other resources. This is because their effects can range from pollutant discharges into the air, water and soil, to impairment of ecosystems and biodiversity. With REO products, you can play a part in minimizing the waste of resources and ensuring that your equipment and machines have a long service life and low maintenance requirements. As a result, you set up your applications solidly and can assume a useful life of up to 30 years and save financial resources just by the comparatively very low maintenance costs.

TECHNOLOGY MEETS KNOW-HOW

REO has known for a long time that our products only get their added value through the application of certain technologies. Whether a special protection class is to be achieved or new parameters are to be met, many prerequisites are only really possible with the right technology. Since REO recognized this point early on and has been constantly working to develop it further since its founding, it is hardly surprising that the company is a market leader in many industries.

TEST AND INSPECTION PROCEDURES

Quality assurance is a top priority at REO. REO products only leave our premises with absolute assurance of quality and performance. In this way, we ensure consistent quality of all products, components and complete solutions and stand for what has always distinguished REO: High quality and robust, low-maintenance products. State-of-the-art measurement technology, always kept up to date, ensures the highest quality of our delivered products. With a clear conscience, we can assume long service lives of over 30 years in some cases thanks to these tests and inspections. The life cycle costs, which are increasingly a reason for purchase for many of our customers, are comparably low thanks to the high quality of the components used and the associated shorter maintenance intervals. REO customers consequently benefit from an efficient product with low service costs over its entire service life. Our test and inspection procedures include:

Shock and vibration tests
Salt spray tests
Cold and heat tests
Tests regarding water tightness or fire protection

CROSS-SECTOR ELECTRIFICATION WITH REO

The electrification of mobility continues to advance in all sectors of the economy, and REO components are already proving their resilience and reliability on a daily basis. These capabilities are particularly important in heavy vehicles: High dynamic forces, adverse environments and intensive continuous operation demand the highest level of quality.

REO offers a broad product portfolio with scalable performance specifically for these special requirements. One example of this is the NTT 9339/375/0.06 sine wave filters, which ensure a clean on-board power supply on electrically powered excavators. Whether in salty air, the finest dust or thick mud, the sinusoidal filters ensure trouble-free and low-maintenance operation. What remains hidden to many is the enormous technical effort required for trouble-free operation. Based on REO’s expertise, special EMC filters or chokes of the new N CNW series have been developed to eliminate interference in electrified vehicles.

Let us go the way to sustainable and clean mobility together – ask for our suitable components.

HARNESSING THE POWER OF NATURE WITH REO COMPONENTS

When generating energy from sustainable resources, special requirements are placed on components. Maintenance intervals, energy peaks, life cycles and resistance to the elements are just some of the thematic challenges that REO components have been facing for decades. Benefit from our know-how gained from a large number of successful products and ask for suitable solutions today. REO offers you a wide range of standard products and modified standard products as well as holistic individual developments.
