Rücker AG
The Rücker group of Wiesbaden, Germany, was founded in 1970 by its current chairman Wolfgang Rücker. It went public in 2000 and is now a leading globally active supplier of technical development services to the aviation and automotive industries. The group includes a variety of technical design and construction services in its commercial activities ranging from project research, consulting and planning via development to product series production maturity. It covers the entire process chain - which is completely computerised - and specialises in simulation, animation and virtual design.
The market
The automotive industry has reacted to a saturated market with comprehensive new model ranges and numerous variants and derivatives. The OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) know it's more efficient to reduce their own production depth and outsource parts of development to highly professional contractors. Rücker AG profits from this. The group offers comprehensive engineering development services throughout the entire process chain and is a leading global player in its field. The group currently has 35 locations in 18 countries and employs over 2.500 people.
There's a clear trend to outsourcing in the aviation industry as well. Rücker AG has managed to benefit from this trend too. Thanks to our very professional engineers and long experience in the aviation and space industries and the predicted global demand for new aircraft Rücker believes that this field will develop positively too.
Visions
Rücker AG intends expanding its top position as an engineering company offering technical development services to the world's aviation and automotive industries and continuing growing. The company will further improve its relations with such companies to do so. Investments in hard- and software are envisaged at the same time to safeguard our excellent position on the market.
