Get to know us better:
What do we stand for, what sets us apart?
As a modern and globally active engineering and manufacturing company headquartered in Bergisch Gladbach near Cologne and with another location in Dortmund, we have set firm standards.
With over 400 employees, we bring together high-tech and passion: Our team of engineers, physicists, project managers, manufacturing specialists, and businesspeople develops and manufactures high-performance components, systems, and solutions for science and industry. These range from customized special designs, such as for particle accelerators, to high-precision series components for the semiconductor industry or components for nuclear fusion. However, our portfolio extends far beyond this industry and, in addition to the research instruments that give us our name, also includes growth areas such as digitalization and healthcare.
The foundations for our success to date and our steady growth are our deep understanding of our customers' needs, continuous investment in our development and manufacturing facilities, and, last but not least, an absolutely top-notch team.


Diversity, whether in terms of age, professional training, or nationality
A collegial working atmosphere characterized by mutual appreciation
Teamwork with open communication and flat hierarchies, even if we don't all use first names
First-class, individual training, during which we are always on hand to support new colleagues
Opportunities for continuous development
The firm conviction that with the approach “nothing is impossible,” even quite tricky challenges can be mastered together.
Every single person at RI contributes to our success and actively shapes the future of RI. In order to work together on the research tools of tomorrow, we are guided by values that form the basis of our daily actions: trust, respect, tolerance, and mindfulness—both in our interactions with each other and in our use of technology.
Mutual trust, respect, and mindfulness—towards technology and each other—are at the heart of what we do. A positive attitude and active participation characterize our collaboration. Mistakes are part of the process and are allowed—we address them openly so that we can improve together.
We work on an equal footing, regardless of position or department, show consideration for one another, and treat each other with respect. We respect the opinions and views of others, even if they differ from our own.
We are proud of our work and what we achieve together, and we always strive to do our best.
