Reitz Natursteintechnik KG: Precision Granite, Motion Systems and Assembly

Reitz Natursteintechnik KG is a family-owned precision engineering company headquartered in Aßlar, Hesse, Germany. Founded in 1946, the company has evolved from a stone-quarrying business into a high-tech system provider and, according to the company, a market leader in customised machines within its specialist field. Reitz operates across three business units: Precision Granite, Motion Systems, and Assembly — offering customised solutions for semiconductor manufacturing, optics, laser technology, and other high-precision production environments.

Products and Capabilities

Reitz’s product range spans three core areas directly relevant to automation and high-precision manufacturing buyers:

Motion Systems : High-precision kinematic systems from single axes to complex multi-axis systems with motion control, safety integration, and component integration. Designed for high-precision positioning and movement tasks in the micrometre and sub-micrometre range, with precision and repeatability maintained under process conditions.

Precision Granite : Granite or concrete-based machine beds and components for precision mechanical engineering, measuring and test benches, and high-stability machine bases. Reitz uses precision granite as a mechanical foundation where dimensional stability, vibration damping, and controlled thermal behaviour are important to high-accuracy production and measurement processes.

Assembly and Project Management : Customised project management from production and assembly to installation and commissioning — including component integration, customer-supplied parts, and turnkey system delivery.

Reitz Capabilities for Automation and High-Precision Manufacturing

For buyers in semiconductor, optics, laser processing, and high-precision production sectors, Reitz offers several distinct capabilities:

Customer-Specific Motion Systems : Reitz focuses on customer-specific positioning and motion solutions rather than catalogue-based standard systems — from sophisticated single axes to complex multi-axis systems with motion control and safety integration.

Granite-Based Mechanical Structures : Dimensional stability, vibration damping, and controlled thermal behaviour make granite a preferred mechanical foundation for high-accuracy production and measurement processes.

Precision Under Process Conditions : Reitz systems maintain precision and repeatability not just in the measuring laboratory, but under real process forces and changing temperatures.

International Service Capability : Reitz states that its global service infrastructure includes more than 180 employees, including personnel in Asia, supported by service partnerships for international on-site assistance.

Experience in Customised Precision Machines : Reitz describes itself as a market leader for customised machines in this specialist field, an expertise that developed from designing its own granite-processing equipment when suitable machinery was not available commercially.

Industries and Applications

Reitz’s motion systems and precision components serve industries where sub-micrometre accuracy and process stability are critical:

Semiconductor Manufacturing : Lithography, wafer handling, metrology — with sub-micrometre accuracy and maximum process stability.

Optics Industry : Microscopy, lens technology, spectroscopy, precision optics — where sensitive optical systems require precise movement.

Laser Technology : Cutting, structuring, drilling — where precise path movements and consistent processing quality are required at high speeds and short cycle times.

Precision Measurement and Testing : Measuring and test benches requiring long-term dimensional stability and vibration damping.

Reitz and automatica Munich

Reitz presented its Motion Systems business at automatica Munich in 2025, using the international automation and robotics trade fair to position its high-precision movement solutions for advanced manufacturing applications.
