The Company

Vitrinen- und Glasbau REIER GmbH

From Lauta to the world

Founded in 1988, Vitrinen- und Glasbau REIER GmbH is the leading German display case manufactory specialising in museum display cases, exhibition furnishings, glass constructions and other solutions for museums. Based in Lauta, Saxony, the company combines craftsmanship, engineering expertise and conservation-focused technology to create high-quality display solutions for museums, galleries, cultural institutions and exhibition projects worldwide.

REIER supports its customers from the very first enquiry. From initial consultation, technical advice and design development to engineering, manufacturing, delivery and on-site installation, the company provides a structured and reliable project process from one source. This early advisory approach helps customers define the right display solution for their objects, spaces, conservation requirements and exhibition concepts.

What distinguishes REIER is its high level of in-house manufacturing depth. As a display case manufactory, REIER carries out the key work processes itself – from sales and engineering to glass processing, metalwork and wood construction, powder coating, electrical engineering, assembly, shipping and installation. This integrated structure gives REIER direct control over quality, coordination and production workflows. It is a decisive advantage for reliable delivery dates, precise execution and consistently high manufacturing standards.

Every REIER display case is tailored to the specific requirements of the object, the exhibition concept and the museum environment. Design, functionality, safety, climate stability, lighting, materials and handling are considered as part of one precise technical solution. The result is museum technology that protects valuable cultural assets while presenting them with clarity, restraint and elegance.

A central focus of REIER’s work is preventive conservation. In cooperation with recognised research institutes, the company analyses the impact of light, climate and pollutants on exhibits and transfers these findings into the development of new technologies and products.

REIER is ISO 9001 certified and has realised around 4,000 projects for 2,500 customers in 37 countries. With around 80 employees from 25 professional groups, the company brings together specialist expertise from numerous trades under one roof.

From standard display cases to individually designed and engineered special solutions, REIER stands for reliable museum technology made in Germany – from consultancy to installation, with the expertise, process control and manufacturing depth required to realise demanding projects on time and to a high standard.
