Rieger-Tuning was founded by Toni Rieger 1987. Rieger Tuning specializes in the development, production and distribution of sport vehicle accessories, the main focus being on body tuning with the development and distribution of aerodynamic parts for vehicles of predominantly European manufacture. Since inception Rieger has grown from a one-man operation into a Tuning corporation with 52 employees. They have also expanded their worldwide distribution network during the past years and the volume of foreign trade is presently over 60 percent of sales.
There is hardly a country on this planet that does not enjoy Rieger Tuning components. The Worldwide interest in Rieger Tuning parts speaks to the exclusiveness and quality of their manufactured parts. Having settled into new facilities in the year 2000, they are moving ahead full throttle with the development of several new products.
A seven bay fully equipped installation facility allows ample opportunity to work out every last detail of fitment so that when they send their products around the world, they already have extensive experience fitting the products themselves which results in comprehensive installation instructions accompanying each product.
A tyre fitting centre, a prototype development facility, a professional photo studio and a cargo shipment bay are hosted in the new buildings. Their showroom has always on display 15-20 of premium Rieger tuned vehicles. Add to this another dozen tuned cars owned by employees and there is always something to admire…
An important contribution increasing Rieger Tunings productivity has been the acquisition of a new thermoforming system for the production of the ABS parts. With this new system Rieger can produce much larger aerodynamic parts from ABS plastic with outstanding quality. Easy painting and perfection of fitment mean nearly all Rieger Tuning components will be of ABS. This concretely means that the complete production process from design, model construction, tooling, thermoforming, CNC cutting, right up to the final fabrication is completed in-house. Following this tradition, since 2004 a complete new software system integrates all business structures – from design, ideas to series production, from sale to delivery, from eCommerce to logistics, from CAD to publishing.
Something which sets Rieger apart from many tuning companies is the process of design, production and sale all being completed under the same roof. New ideas are originated by the design and sales teams, deemed feasible or not by the shop team, with the final say left to Toni Rieger. Production of the ABS components is then carried out on the automatic vacuum thermoforming machines. The pre-cut blank of the finished ABS component is then processed by several CNC milling machines which guarantees an exact fit to the vehicle. Finally, most of the parts are equipped with fittings for easy installation and prepared to carry accessories like parking systems or fog lights.
