Editorial Shaping the World of Communication – for 60 Years 050.7409 Dear Business Partners In 1964, it was impossible to foresee how profoundly our everyday lives would change as a result of digitalization and thus also the world of communications and data networks in the decades that followed. But the young R&M company founders and technical experts Hans Reichle and Renato De-Massari already knew back then: You need reliable infrastructures to connect people and companies, and thus improve communication. They founded their company in the spring of 1964 under the simplest conditions, initially to make life easier for installers with a revolutionary telephone outlet. Since then, R&M has developed into a globally active company with an established reputation in the industry. We are privileged to have been able to support some clients since the very beginning. And at their core, our vision and corporate values have remained the same. Every day, our employees do their best to meet the highest standards of quality, innovation, customer orientation, and sustainability – with the aim of breaking down boundaries and reliably connecting people and companies around the world. In this issue’s focus article, CEO Michel Riva takes you on a journey through time that tells the story of the transformation from the «Reichle connectors» to the digital era. All-in-one solutions as a success factor In the Gigabit age, connectivity has become much more complex. Accordingly, R&M has evolved from a component manufacturer to a provider of complete system solutions. The value-added chain is being systematically expanded, as was recently the case at the cable plant in Děčín (more on this on pages 16+17). Such holistic offers are in demand: A clear reference example can be found on pages 8+9, where you can read how Bern University Hospital benefits from an integrated data center infrastructure solution including services from R&M. In addition, we once again report on numerous R&M innovations and trends from the industry. Infrastructures for data communication and thus Internet access are now among the basic needs of society. However, the connected world is by no means a foregone conclusion and can only function with secure and future-proof connectivity solutions. In order for people and companies to be able to communicate without restrictions, sophisticated residential and business wiring, efficient data centers, stable and resilient outdoor networks, well-connected mobile communication antennas, aerial deployment and much more are needed. We want to connect people and companies responsibly with our solutions along our entire value-added chain. This attitude has been a key component of our sustainable business activities for 60 years. We are proud of 60 years of company history and we would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this. Our company is ready to face the future – we look forward to many new projects that we can carry out for our valued business partners around the world. Thank you for the trust you have placed in us and for the valuable collaboration. «We provide network infrastructure for unlimited communication.» I hope you enjoy reading our latest specialist magazine.
