>> ... the birth of the company: As 12 year old child Anton Reck was lying in bed for one year due to a strong Angina which affected his heart. This illness accompanied him all his life, weakend him physically, strengthened however his spirit and will. It was clear soon that he could not bear a normal everyday work life. He thought »one way or the other I need to go into business for myself so that I can at least lay down a quarter of an hour a day«. So the self-employment was a decision to make the best of it, not to seek profit.

... the birth of the mixer: 1969 a farmer approached Anton Reck: »Now they even start up there walking on the moon and down here we do not even get the slurry out of the slurry pit«. Yet in the same year the first Reck slurry mixers were in use.

Riedlingen: Here NSU has been founded by Christian Schmidt and Heinrich Stoll (today’s AUDI AG) and the »Schwarzwaelder Kirschtorte/ Black Forest gateau« has been invented by Josef Keller*

Betzenweiler: »... maybe a little inventive talent got stuck in the middle of the two towns«*

Bad Buchau: City of »procreation« of Albert Einstein* ... the birth of the medical technology: The health situation of Anton Reck was alarming: The doctors gave him only one month more to live due to his heart problem. Unless he did intensively healthy sport. He didn’t wait to be told that twice and started to develop the »KurzzeitTrainer (KT)/Short-timeTrainer«: Cycling without a saddle. The product did not only become very important for our boss. It was sold 70,000 times in 40 countries on earth. Continuing further developments lead to today’s »MOTOmed«. And even today Anton Reck is receiving an increased quality of life through daily, healthy »MOTOmed Training«.

One could say, we do daily good things and even earn with it: the money for wages and salaries, material, investments, research, development and taxes for the hometown, the state and the church: With the MOTOmed: it supports disabled, ill and older people daily to get ahead with their health, to feel better and to increase quality of life. With the slurry mixers: homogeneous slurry is a high quality biological fertilizer. Well spreaded slurry is useful for the plants and helps to achieve better yields. With the Gras Silage Spreaders: they help to spread the grass in thin layers for best possible compression to achieve best quality and healthy fodder for the animals. And with the latest Mixer for Biogas plants: they help producing alternative energy. Good products for a better, worth living future.

50 Years doing good things

Personal experiences with Reck products from the whole world >>

MOTOmed Movement Therapy allows for daily necessary movement. Especially if this does not seem possible due to illness or age. You train at home independently – when and as long as it does good. MOTOmed is healthy movement: motor-driven, motor-assisted and with own muscle strength. For maintenance and strengthening of the body functions, of the muscles and for a better and longer life. My MOTOmed is nice, gentle and intelligent. Eight MOTOmed basic models with 85 accessory parts allow a best possible adjustment to the individual needs.
