The company comprises three divisions: Machines & Systems, Components and After Sales.
Three divisions
The Machines & Systems Division develops, produces and distributes new machinery as spinning systems or single machines. Blowroom and cards are used for fiber preparation, draw frames, combers and roving frames are used for spinning preparation, and ring, compact-, rotor and air-jet spinning machines as well as winding machines are used for end spinning. The offer is supplemented by planning services and automation solutions as well as ESSENTIAL, the digital platform for the complete spinning mill.
The Components Division develops, produces and distributes technology components, precision winding machines as well as solutions for the production of filament yarns and nonwovens. Technology components come into contact with fibers and affect yarn properties; they are used in new machines and must be replaced at regular intervals during operation.
The After Sales Division develops, produces and distributes spare parts for Rieter machines as well as for conversions and modernizations. After Sales additionally sells technology components that are not included in the product range of the Components Division. After Sales also offers services that enable Rieter customers to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their spinning mills.
