80,000 items, 70% in stock. Since day one – 1 September 1978 – Reichelt Chemietechnik has run as a combined sales and production business based in Heidelberg (Germany), a true ‘mail-order house’ from the very start.
Reichelt Chemietechnik serves a remarkably broad customer base. It spans chemical engineering, pharmaceutical technology, biotechnology and process engineering, alongside mechanical and design engineering and electronics. Laboratory technology matters just as much. Behind this stands a catalogue of 80,000 items, with 70% in stock at any given moment. That depth is what makes our ‘just in time’ promise so easy to keep.
The whole sales concept is built around small quantities. Tubing, for instance, comes in 3, 9 and 15-metre sections. These are exactly the lengths needed at the workstation, with nothing leftover to store.
The product range is correspondingly wide. Tubing, connectors, stopcocks and valves come in every elastomer and plastic imaginable. Sheets, tubes, rods and films follow in specialist fluoroelastomers and fluoroplastics. Filtration is a field of its own, from filter membranes and woven mesh to sintered plates and tubes, string-wound elements and filter candles for aggressive media. Design engineering adds spacers, adhesives and O-rings, and drive technology rounds out the programme.
Reichelt Chemietechnik prints 3.4 million handbooks a year and slips them into 14 trade journals every month. The result is considerable visibility and a broad showcase for the entire product range. Every product detail can be found in those handbooks or on the website, where the basket function secures guaranteed immediate delivery.
The website also hosts a science blog, where external scientists publish impartial articles on current topics each week. This form of search engine optimisation (SEO) earns Reichelt Chemietechnik strong Google rankings – and keeps your products easy to find.
