THANK YOU, Jürgen Richter!

juergen_richterFor 26 years, Jürgen Richter has, with his positive attitude, not only accompanied, but also shaped the development of our company as well as of our industry – as a sales agent, initially for Koloman Handler, and later, after the merger with Krause, for RING ALLIANCE.

All employees at our production site in Hungary as well as in Vienna are very grateful for his many years of dedication to our company.

Through his outstanding commitment and continuous presence at our customers, Mr. Richter has a great share in the economic success of our company. His pragmatic, creative and solution-oriented demeanor, as well as his reliability and loyalty were and are his trademark.

He will be missed in our company and the industry. For his coming retirement we wish him a lot of joy with his additional free time and especially good health!

All the best and a heartfelt “Servus”, dear Jürgen Richter!

With saying “Thank you!” to Jürgen Richter, we also kindly ask all or customers in Southern Germany and Austria to send their future requests directly to our Customer Service in Vienna, Ms. Andrea Kasner and Ms. Virginie Nussböck.

Investing In Quality and Security

Machine for OCD-4-ring-mechanisms:
Maintenance measures und new control station

Our machine for OCD-4-ring-mechanism on base width 27 mm undergoes a 4-week general overhaul this spring.

What happens exactly?

  • All wear parts will be exchanged:
    e.g. chain guides, gear wheels, valves, sensors, wires, air tubes, electronic contacts
  • Set-ups for occupational safety will be renewed:
    e.g. safety switches and perspex

The aim of these extensive measures is to ensure machine capacity and product quality long-term.

Additionally, there will be installed a new control station for quality assurance.
It scans every single ring binder mechanism during the production process, to check the ring strips’ exact positioning in the base plate.

This facilitates height difference checks with the exactness of a tenth of a millimeter and increases the process and quality assurance many times over.

Machine for types SXR 272/04/16 and 20(15):
Innovative camera station

news_kamerastationAt the machine for the types SXR 272/04/16 und 20(15), there has recently been installed a camera system for quality assurance. The camera, which works in the dark by using red light, registers differences in side and height offsets smaller than 0.1 millimeter.

During the manufacturing process, a 100% product check is done. Mechanisms which show a difference in side or height offsets are automatically ejected. Thus it is provided, that only flawless goods are delivered to our customers.
