The portfolio in Kahramanmaraş comprises both mechanical and electronic services. These include the revision of gear units, servomotor adjustments, as well as repairs and upgrades using original parts.

The service branch in Kahramanmaraş also has a spare parts warehouse, where the most important and critical spare parts are available. These include, for example, control units, sensors and drive systems. This enables fast replacement and therefore minimum production downtime – for the benefit of customers, which can access these at short notice, especially in emergencies.

In addition to original spare parts, Rieter also offers after-sales service products such as mill assessments to its customers worldwide.
