Continuity for generations

RICKMEIER can look back on more than 110 years of experience in pump technology and has established itself as a leading manufacturer of gear pumps, valves and oil supply systems with more than 230 employees. Our strength lies not only in high-quality products, but also in long-standing, trusting customer relationships. As a fourth-generation family business, we maintain our independence and are proud to have our roots in South Westphalia. Quality is our top priority, which is why our products are developed and produced exclusively at our site in Balve, Made in Germany. Our Europe-wide suppliers guarantee high-quality materials and sustainable production processes.

The current confirmation of our impressive performance is shown by the award as Hidden Champion in the field of mechanically driven gear pumps. We think and act in a future-orientated way, highly qualified employees ensure our in-house strict quality standards and a team of innovative engineers and technicians is oriented towards the constantly changing market conditions. Our team consists of specialists in all areas of expertise. In order to maintain and further develop the quality and expertise of our employees, we have been investing in our in-house training workshop and in the training of young people for decades. RICKMEIER has been recognised by Focus Money as one of the best training companies in Germany. With an average length of service of more than 16 years, we are one of the most successful employers in the region. Exciting and challenging tasks, a high quality and structured working environment, short communication channels and flat hierarchies make RICKMEIER a sought-after employer.

Focus on the customer

At RICKMEIER, the customer and their wishes and needs are at the centre of everything we do.
Our commitment to customer satisfaction and service-orientation is deeply rooted in our corporate culture. Internal and external processes are geared towards guaranteeing the best possible service for our international customers. We cultivate intensive and long-term customer relationships and recognise that trust and proximity are the basis for a successful partnership. We think and act in a solution-oriented manner and concentrate on our core competences and strengths. This focus forms the basis for first-class products and services, including after-sales service, which exceed our customers' expectations.

Unique product and solution expertise

For generations, the name RICKMEIER has stood for high quality standards in all areas of the company. Our management system is certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001, DIN EN ISO 14001 and DIN EN ISO 3834. RICKMEIER products are characterised by their exceptional durability, extensive repair options and the RICKMEIER remanufacturing process make it possible to reuse products and conserve resources. Customer-orientated special solutions combined with excellent engineering make us unique. All RICKMEIER pumps and valves are 100% tested for function and performance in a modern in-house series test centre before delivery. Newly created possibilities in the unique RICKMEIER development test field create the conditions for minimising the validation process for prototypes and new developments. This ensures the highest standards and guarantees flawless functionality. Sustainability is a RICKMEIER guiding principle. Ecological, social and economic aspects are incorporated into all areas of the company and the product life cycle, making a responsible contribution to a sustainable future.

The RICKMEIER mission is clearly defined: we stand for continuous development and adaptation to the needs of the market. As a successful Sauerland-based company, we are on our way to becoming a global high performer. We focus on innovation, quality and customer satisfaction. Revolutionary developments such as our UNI pumps and compact units, as well as our R6 pump series being honoured with the iF Design Award, underline our innovative strength.
