About our
Company

​Rhein Köster turns applied research into working industrial systems. We connect research, engineering and production so that new technologies can be tested, scaled and implemented in real factory environments.

 

With our headquarters in China and engineering centers in Germany, we operate sixteen sites across China and four in Germany. This network bridges research and industry efficiently, combining German engineering precision with the speed and scale of Chinese production.

Our research and development teams collaborate with universities, institutes and industry partners to develop new production methods, test environments and digital process tools. Each project is driven by measurable results such as higher productivity, reliability and adaptability in real industrial use.

 

We design and manufacture customized advanced training systems, learning factories and competence centers that replicate authentic industrial processes. These platforms combine mechanical, electrical and digital integration to provide realistic environments for learning, testing and innovation.

 

For our customers, we enable industrial production in China for precise, reliable and scalable manufacturing. Modular co development and supplier integration accelerate prototyping, while full traceability, on site quality control and compliance with European standards ensure production that meets global audit and performance requirements. In Germany, our engineering and small series production ensure proximity to customers, certification alignment and technical support.

 

Rhein Köster represents practical innovation that unites research, production and people to build the next generation of industry.
