Dear friends and part­ners of Rein­hausen,

Since April 1996, I have had the priv­i­lege of help­ing shape the devel­op­ment of Rein­hausen GmbH as a mem­ber of the Exec­u­tive Board (and as its spokesper­son since 2010). In the world of busi­ness, 30 years is a long time. How­ev­er, it is con­sis­tent with the high expec­ta­tions for the longevi­ty of our solu­tions and the con­sis­tent imple­men­ta­tion of our strate­gies. Your expec­ta­tions of the pre­mi­um MR brand shape the behav­ior of each of our employ­ees, and con­verse­ly, the con­ti­nu­ity of our lead­er­ship rein­forces your per­cep­tion of the brand.

In this con­text, anniver­saries serve as mile­stones on the jour­ney from yes­ter­day to tomor­row. I am there­fore delight­ed to also be able to active­ly par­tic­i­pate in the cen­ten­ni­al cel­e­bra­tion of the grant­i­ng of Patent No. 474613 to Dr.-Ing. Bern­hard Jansen. After all, this “device for switch­ing between two taps of a step-down trans­former dur­ing oper­a­tion using two counter-rotat­ing cir­cuit break­ers with pre-con­tacts” paved the way for Rein­hausen GmbH’s rise to become the glob­al mar­ket leader in trans­former con­trol. At the same time, it marks the start­ing point for our unwa­ver­ing pas­sion for chal­leng­ing appli­ca­tions and gen­uine inno­va­tions in elec­tri­cal pow­er engi­neer­ing.

In this spir­it, we have been con­tin­u­ous­ly evolv­ing our ser­vice offer­ings for many years  – from prod­ucts to solu­tions – while striv­ing to bring our port­fo­lio and val­ue cre­ation ever clos­er to you.

With great respect for what has been achieved in the past, we are there­fore using this issue of ONLOAD to set our sights on the next 100 years. At the inter­sec­tion of mecha­tron­ics and pow­er elec­tron­ics, sen­sor tech­nol­o­gy and com­mu­ni­ca­tions, as well as ana­lyt­ics and dig­i­tal­iza­tion, MR con­tin­u­ous­ly devel­ops supe­ri­or solu­tions for new and exist­ing appli­ca­tions.

Man­u­fac­tur­ers, com­mis­sion­ing engi­neers, and oper­a­tors of crit­i­cal grid infra­struc­ture can there­fore con­tin­ue to expect great things from us. This holds true even – and espe­cial­ly – after my retire­ment from the Exec­u­tive Board at the end of July 2026. The baton is in the very best of hands with my col­leagues.

We were, are, and will remain Rein­hausen – a bas­tion of progress and reli­a­bil­i­ty, embody­ing risk-con­scious con­ti­nu­ity amid change.

I thank you for your long-stand­ing trust.

Warm regards,

Dr. Nico­las Maier-Scheubeck
