The businesses are focused on commercial and industrial refrigeration, heating and energy-efficient projects.

Based in Vlotho, Friedrich Reitemeier GmbH was established in 1949 and describes itself as one of the most efficient companies for heating, air conditioning, sanitary and environmental technology in East Westphalia.
