Jul 07, 2020 100 Years Dedicated to Mobility: Dana Celebrates Victor Reinz® Sealing Technology Anniversary

Dana Incorporated is celebrating the 100-year anniversary of the historic REINZ brand, which was joined with Victor in 1993 to create the well-known Victor Reinz® brand of today. The name REINZ stands for German automotive history. A century ago, Hugo Reinz helped to lay the foundations for one of the largest international automotive suppliers of today. Founded in 1920 in Berlin, at a time when automobiles were still rare on the streets, the former Hugo Reinz GmbH started its first business year.

For many years Dana has been sponsoring Victor Reinz AFM gaskets to the Formula Student Team “KA-RaceIng” from Karlsruhe and thus supports the students and the association.

Sep 28, 2018 Supplier of the Year 2017: Stihl distinguishes Dana for Quality and Service

Wherever a chainsaw from Stihl is sawing wood, a Victor Reinz® gasket from Dana is usually used. For more than 25 years, the sealing expert from Neu-Ulm has been supplying the world's leading manufacturer of chainsaws from Waiblingen with cylinder base gaskets for internal combustion engines. The distance between the two companies is just 100 kilometers as the crow flies.

Stihl has now honored Reinz-Dichtungs-GmbH, a subsidiary of the US-American company Dana Incorporated, as Supplier of the Year 2017. Dr. Bertram Kandziora, Stihl’s CEO and Board Member for Production and Materials Management, presented the award to Marc Bohr, Area Sales Manager, and Volker Etzel, Application Engineer, Sales General Industry at Dana. Since 1990, Stihl has honoured suppliers with outstanding achievements in the areas of quality, technology, innovation, service and price-value ratio with the Supplier of the Year Award.

In addition to the well-known power and chainsaws, Stihl produces various motor-driven equipment for forestry and agriculture as well as for landscape conservation, the construction industry and private users. Here, too, Victor Reinz sealing solutions ensure tight and safe connections – including metallic beaded gaskets and AFM soft material gaskets. Dana produces the classics based on aramid fibers in cooperation with punching partners who source the raw material from Dana, punch the gaskets and supply them to Stihl.

The application engineers from Neu-Ulm are usually already involved in the development of new Stihl products. “At Stihl we are already involved at the development stage,” says Marc Bohr, Area Sales Manager, General Industry at Dana. “Even the lightest high-performance saw in the 70 cc displacement class, the MS 462 C-M, which weighs six kilograms and is around 800 grams lighter than comparable chainsaws, was equipped with our sealing expertise at an early stage.”

Stihl’s Supplier of the Year 2017 award fits seamlessly into the current list of awards for Dana. Just a few weeks ago, AGCO Your Agriculture Company awarded Reinz-Dichtungs-GmbH the highest supplier status, that is, the “Partner” status.
