KW automotive is thus expanding its leading position as a supplier of high-quality and individual chassis systems.

Globally recognized offroad specialist
For over four decades, the Dutch company has been involved in the development and manufacture of off-road motorsport dampers and is a globally recognized specialist for tough use in the rally, rally raid, autocross, motocross, quad and sidecar segments.

Largest range of racing suspensions
The integration of Reiger Racing into KW automotive thus creates one of the world's largest ranges of racing suspensions. Numerous car manufacturers rely on the dampers and suspension components manufactured at the Dutch plant in Hengelo.

The greatest successes of the Reiger Racing Suspension factory customer teams include winning the FIA World Rally Championship with M-Sport and Ford, the World Champion Rally Raid and the Intercontinental Rally Championship, as well as winning the Dakar Rally several times.

Podium places for 1000 hp trucks
Numerous podium finishes, class wins and overall victories demonstrate the reliability and performance of Reiger off-road products. The continued dominance of Reiger Rally Dakar customers in South America in 2017, 2018 and 2019 continued in 2020 in the new host country Saudi Arabia.

A similar picture also emerged in the truck classification, where the trucks weighing up to ten tons and with almost 1000 hp equipped with Reiger dampers also completed all the podium places and, with one exception, also the top 10 places.

Interesting opportunities in the aftermarket

Peter Banz, Managing Director automotive (Schweiz) AG: "Besides international rally motorsport, I see interesting opportunities especially in the aftermarket. In the increasingly important aftermarket of off-road damper products for pick-up trucks and SUVs, new customers will certainly be addressed in the future with the added know-how of the Reiger Suspension brand."
