Our Philosophy

Customer satisfaction is our top priority. All our processes are geared to realising high product quality and durability. In this way we offer products which can be considered very cost effective in the long term and contribute directly to the conservation of environmental resources.

REEL constantly invests in product and service development in order to provide high-quality antenna solutions to meet the technical challenges of our times. Our customers are always our point of reference, because they provide the aspiration to build exactly what each customer needs.

This makes an open and fair relationship with all suppliers and partners a requirement. This close cooperation enables us to react and resolve even the smallest deviations from the original order. Failure rates and possible additional costs due to faulty materials or other factors can thus be minimized.

We are aware that we can only develop high quality and innovative products through the interaction of content suppliers, partners and employees our high standards. The well-being of our employees is of primary concern to us. And thus creating the best possible working conditions by flat hierarchies, ergonomic work stations, modern soldering fume extraction systems and 2x per week yoga during working hours belong to our practiced standards.

„Our aim: to build each customer exactly what he needs!“
