Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) comprise over 75% of Rietschle Thomas sales. These customers use Rietschle Thomas vacuum pumps and compressors as components within their own products. As a company structured to serve the OEM, we understand their needs.

OEMs depend on the expertise of Rietschle Thomas engineers and work closely with them to find a product solution that offers lower noise, longer life, smaller size and, of course, lower cost.

OEM customers demand prompt and accurate component prototypes during the early development stage of their product. Rietschle Thomas responds with precise samples that are in the customers hands within a matter of days.

Once a customer approves a design, the race to market is intensified. The flexibility of Rietschle Thomas' manufacturing capabilities drives down the time to market. As the certified supplier to a variety of OEMs, Rietschle Thomas ships products that often bypass inspection and go directly into the manufacturer's product, further reducing cycle time.

The customer relationships built during this process are extremely valuable to Rietschle Thomas. As loyal customers request further enhancements to their next generation of products, Rietschle Thomas is eager to meet their challenge with innovative new solutions.
