Our mission
Technical gases are as important in industrial production as water and electricity. In an environmentally friendly future, green hydrogen, clean exhaust air, and recycling and purifying technical gases play a central role.
At ReiCat, we develop catalytic exhaust air and gas treatment systems that enable the cost-efficient production and reuse of technical gases and the emission of clean exhaust air.
As a family-owned company, we are determined to contribute to a more sustainable industry and energy sector with “Hightech made in Europe”.
Climate technology made in Europe
We develop our technologies and systems at our headquarters in Gelnhausen, approximately 50 km outside Frankfurt am Main. With the support of our broad network of highly specialized suppliers and certified partners, the systems are manufactured in and around Gelnhausen and shipped worldwide from there. Since 2022, we have also operated a subsidiary in Bologna (Italy).
Innovation through diversity & decades of experience
Innovation is not a rigid one-way street. It arises within the framework that you give it. We are convinced that diverse teams bring different perspectives to the research and development process and develop the most innovative technologies. Our team combines in-depth industry knowledge and years of experience with the digital can-do spirit of the younger generation. We complement this with the long-term perspective and values of an independent family business.

Quality:
Quality is everything especially when handling technical gases
Technical gases can be explosive, flammable, or toxic. However, thanks to its high safety and quality requirements, the technical gas sector is considered one of the safest industries.
Dipl.-Ing. Michael Höfling worked in the technical gas sector for 12 years. The quality and safety policy he learned there became an integral part of ReiCat’s DNA.
Our quality policy is tailored to the specific needs of our industry and customers and goes far beyond regulatory and legal requirements. We are also committed to continuously improving our management system.
Since 2023, we are proud to be ISO 9001:2015 certified. This certification confirms our rigorous quality management processes and our commitment to meeting the highest standards in all areas.
