In the area of export Langhammer has its sights firmly set on the aspiring South African market and with Reitech SA, a specialist machine builder in Cape Town, has gained a well-known and certified representative in South Africa.

As an aspiring economic power, South Africa is becoming increasingly important and of interest to many companies. With a national output of almost 600 billion US dollars South Africa currently forms the largest national economy on the African continent. In addition to a well-developed financial and judicial system, South Africa has a good infrastructure and in the past few years has been characterised by consistent growth.

Since 2012 Reitech SA supports Langhammer with their experienced sales and service technicians as partner and local agent in the African region. “South Africa will play a major role in our overseas strategy in the future. For this reason we are especially happy to have Reitech SA as a respected partner on our side. We look forward to working together,” commented Stephan Schlottoff, Export Manager at Langhammer GmbH, recently.
Reitech SA, a company founded by Dr. Kurt A. Koerber in 1963 under the name Hauni South Manufacturing (Pty) Ltd., was the second overseas branch of the German Hauni company. Hauni South Manufacturing initially built special machines, components and spare parts for the South African tobacco industry. Dr. Koerber employed a young engineer Franz Reiss and he became the new owner of the company in 1995. Shortly after establishment, the company name was changed from Hauni South Manufacturing to Reitech SA.
In the meantime Reitech SA has since grown to a company with 50 employees. Focusing on South Africa, Reitech SA supplies machines to well-known companies in the food, consumer goods and tobacco industries in the sub-Saharan countries. Today Reitech SA is an acknowledged specialist when it comes to packaging and end-of-line automatisation.
