In many international markets, “Made in Germany” stands for reliability, precision, and technical expertise. It is precisely these values that make our products attractive to OEMs, wholesalers, and specialist partners – particularly where downtime is not an option.

The decision to choose Germany as a production location influences every single product. It ensures stability, reliability, and technical excellence along the entire value chain.

Through the close physical proximity of development, production, quality assurance, and logistics, we maintain full control over our processes. This enables rapid responses, consistent quality, and a long-term supply of spare parts independent of global uncertainties or shifting supply chains. Our customers benefit from this not only today, but across the entire lifecycle of a product.

Our production in Germany

We manufacture where we can take full responsibility.

While many manufacturers outsource production steps, we do not. R+M / Suttner manufactures at two German sites with a high degree of vertical integration. This ensures transparency, consistent quality, and maximum control over every product that leaves our premises.

Our production encompasses the following areas:

Engineering & Design

In engineering, ideas become functional solutions. Our developers work closely with production and quality management to design products that are practical and durable. CAD models, technical drawings, and documentation are created directly in-house. In this way, we create the foundation for efficient manufacturing and tailored customer solutions at R+M / Suttner.

Quality Management

Quality management accompanies every production step here. Components and assemblies are regularly inspected, documented, and approved. This ensures that our products meet demanding technical requirements and international standards. It builds trust and guarantees consistently high product quality over many years.

Toolmaking

Toolmaking forms the foundation of our manufacturing processes. Here, tools and moulds are developed, produced, and continuously optimized. The close proximity to production enables fast adjustments and short response times. In this way, we ensure precision, repeatability, and consistently high component quality. In-house toolmaking is a core building block of our vertical integration.

Development & Engineering

From initial idea to the perfect solution – all in-house

Our engineering expertise makes us an innovation leader. We develop our products in-house based on the individual needs of our customers: from the initial concept and design right through to series production. This results in products that precisely match our customers’ requirements.

This is how, for example, custom solutions for OEM customers are created, where components are adapted to existing systems or completely reimagined. Ergonomic advancements in guns, lances, or couplings also stem directly from user feedback.

Our development teams work across locations and in close collaboration with production, assembly, and quality assurance. Technical drawings, assembly instructions, and data sheets are generated internally and continuously updated. The focus is always on three key priorities: exceptional ergonomics in daily use, maximum durability, and continuous innovation.

Typical results of our engineering expertise:

  • Custom assemblies for OEM and private-label projects
  • Adapted components for diverse international standards
  • Well-engineered product enhancements based on real-world practical experience

Logistics & Availability

Fast. Structured. Reliable.

From our logistics hub, we supply international markets with a broad and deep product range. Thanks to high storage capacity and clearly defined workflows, we reliably deliver both individual parts and large unit volumes.

Our customers benefit from long-term availability of spare parts, components, and assemblies – regardless of when a product was originally developed.

For us, availability means: short paths, transparent processes, and reproducible quality.

Sustainability & Responsibility

Production in Germany – by conviction

For us, sustainability does not begin with the label, but with the choice of how and where we produce. Manufacturing long-lasting products means taking responsibility – for resources, for people, and for markets.

For R+M / Suttner, production in Germany stands for short distances, high standards, and maximum transparency. Our products are designed to be repaired, serviced, and used for many years. This reduces material consumption, avoids unnecessary replacements, and builds trust with our customers worldwide.

Innovation & Modern Manufacturing Methods

Today’s technology –
for your requirements of tomorrow.

At R+M / Suttner, innovation happens continuously, not in isolation. Our manufacturing evolves alongside our customers’ requirements – step by step, product by product.

We develop new products based on real-world applications. Existing solutions are reimagined, enhanced, and adapted to new fields of use. Modern machinery, digital processes, and technical expertise work seamlessly together.

Not every innovation is immediately visible – some only prove their worth after years of operation.

For our customers, this means investment security, ongoing development, and products built to withstand future demands.

Measurement Technology & Testing Facilities

Quality you can measure.

At R+M / Suttner, quality control doesn’t end with manufacturing. Before a product goes into service, it undergoes extensive load and endurance testing in our in-house testing rooms. High pressures, continuous switching operations, temperature fluctuations and aggressive media – we replicate under real conditions everything that affects our components in daily use.

On six test benches with a total power output of 180 kW, we determine the service life and safety reserves of every assembly – from functional and leak testing to burst pressure testing and endurance testing, where valves, spray guns and swivel joints complete millions of switching and load cycles. Modern measurement and data acquisition systems document every relevant parameter – fully, reproducibly and seamlessly traceable at all times.

Because development, production and quality assurance are all under one roof at our facility, these findings flow directly back into engineering: short paths, rapid improvements and products that deliver on their promises in the field. For our customers, this means maximum operational and investment reliability.
