RUD Group

RUD Ketten Rieger & Dietz GmbH u. Co. KG was founded in 1875 by Carl Rieger and Friedrich Dietz in Aalen, Germany. Since Dietz’s departure, the company has been in the sole ownership of the Rieger family for generations, and they have developed and expanded the organization into today’s internationally successful family-owned business.

Currently, RUD group employs over 1,700 people working in production facilities and sales offices globally—we are located in more than 120 countries.

RUD Chain USA.

In 1980 a subsidiary of the RUD group was established in the United States providing a vital link to industries in North and South America and supplying them with a comprehensive range of the world’s highest quality steel chain systems. Our objective from the beginning was to build a company based on honesty and integrity with the customer being the number one priority.

Today, with RUD Group’s global resources behind us, RUD Chain, USA has established a reputation for setting the standard in innovative chain technology. We continue to build on this reputation with a team of highly skilled and motivated personnel who are committed to our business and customers for the long term.

We achieved our success by ensuring that the RUD equipment we supply is not only the best available but is also specifically tailored to each application. We go even further by providing technical support services that our customers tell us is “the best in the industry.” Attention to detail and focus on quality is the basis upon which RUD Chain has operated since its founding in 1875 Germany. It is a tradition the Rieger family maintains and continues in RUD Group’s North American subsidiary.
