Rücker AG – the publicly quoted engineering group
Rücker AG of Wiesbaden, Germany, was founded in 1970 by its current chairman and majority shareholder Wolfgang Rücker. It has been publicly quoted since 2000 and is now a market leading engineering goods and services contractor to the world’s aviation and automobile industries. The group renders virtual technological development goods and services in the bodywork, interior equipment and electrical and electronic systems fields to all the better known automobile manufacturers. The group’s aviation division offers goods and services ranging from styling aircraft interiors via designing and modelling models and prototypes to calculating and constructing wing and fuselage structures.
Rücker AG has 39 locations in 18 countries and currently employs 2,500 people, nearly all engineers. The 2011 financial year was characterised for Rücker by a very positive order situation. Year-on-year volume increased greatly. Turnover increased 15.8 percent to 175.9 million Euros (2010: 151.9 million Euros) and was nearly as high as the record year 2008 (176.3 million Euros). Domestic turnover increase was 22.2 percent but a mere 5.6% in the rest of the world.
The development services market was characterised in 2011 by greatly increased order volume. The Rücker group profited from this along with others. Many automotive manufacturers, our most important clients, were able to increase their sales, primarily due to Chinese, Indian, Russian, Brazilian and US growth. This in turn led to increased development costs for manufacturers.
The board of the Rücker AG group includes the founder and chairman Wolfgang Rücker and Juergen Vogt, the group financial director. The supervisory board consists of the solicitor and barrister Tomas Mielert as chairman and the engineers Dr. Wolfgang Gerhardt and Otto Happich.
The Rücker Group has an integrated quality management system which meets the requirements according to ISO 9001, EN 9100 (Aviation), ISO 14001 (Environment), and ISO/IEC 17025 (Testing laboratories). Download certificates
