REINARTZ becomes part of the KAHL Group

Maschinenfabrik Reinartz GmbH & Co. KG has recently become part of the internationally active KAHL Group. This step is an important milestone for us – and an investment in the future viability of our company.

For more than 170 years, we have stood for quality, reliability and innovative solutions. Together with the KAHL Group, a globally active group of companies in mechanical and plant engineering, we want to further expand these strengths – technologically, structurally and internationally.

The KAHL Group comprises the independently operating companies AMANDUS KAHL, DEVEX, HEINEN, NEO MONTEC, NEUHAUS NEOTEC, PRUESS and SCHULE Mühlenbau.

Joining the KAHL Group brings about a change in the management team of Reinartz. Michael Moll has stepped down from his role as managing director at his own request but will remain with the company as a consultant and member of the advisory board. In his place, Artur Kühl will assume management responsibilities alongside Niklas Stadermann.

Reinartz will continue to operate under its own name and act as an independent company. Our location will also remain unchanged, and all jobs will be retained. For our clients and business partners everything will remain the same: The usual contacts will continue to be available, and our quality standards and personalized service will of course remain the same.

We are looking forward to a strong and successful future within the KAHL Group.

EAT INSECTS?

In the animal feed sector, insects have long been used as an alternative source of protein – for example in feed for dogs and cats. Approval for livestock, such as poultry and pigs, is expected this fall.

But insects also have many advantages as a food source for us humans. For example, they contain a lot of high-quality protein, valuable monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as B vitamins and important minerals.

And similar to their use in animal feed, their use in the food sector would also be a relief for our climate. In direct comparison to animal breeding for covering human meat consumption, insects require much less space and water than cattle & co. The same is true for greenhouse gas emissions because these are also comparatively much lower with insects.

The advantages do not end there. The edible portion of insects is about 80 percent. To stay with cattle, here the proportionate share is just 40 percent.

Another food for thought: According to United Nations estimates, there will be more than 9.7 billion people on the planet by 2050. Currently, there are about 7.91 billion people. They and also their livestock and pets will need protein …

The first important step in this direction has been taken: according to EU approval, yellow, dried mealworms have been among the novel foods since May 2021. The larvae of the beetle Tenebrio molitor may be used, for example, in foods such as pasta, cookies or bars. We have been active in this field for many years and can therefore provide our customers in the insect sector with the best possible support.
