After a two-year COVID break, SPS took place again for the first time as an on-site trade fair in Nuremberg. REO draws a consistently positive conclusion with around 44,000 visitors: “We had many interesting discussions at our booth throughout all days,” summarizes Jennifer Baatz, Kyritz Branch Manager of REO AG. “The joy of finally seeing each other again was clearly palpable.”

Especially the opportunity to see products in reality, hold them in hand, and directly engage in conversation with both REO’s technical consultants and managers, had a completely new appeal after the recent virtual trade fairs. That the trade fair recorded fewer visitors compared to the pre-COVID era was to be expected for REO, given the ongoing travel restrictions in Asia. Nevertheless, the foundation for exciting projects was successfully laid in several areas.

Now it’s time to stay in touch and look forward to the upcoming SPS in 2023. It will take place again in Nuremberg from November 14 to 16.

It reliably and long-term protects your components from a variety of environmental influences. To provide the necessary outdoor protection against pantograph abrasion, brake dust, metal abrasion, snow, and ice, our components receive this special protective coating in addition to VPI impregnation. This offers you the possibility to expose the enclosed (IP20) components to unfiltered cooling air. A great advantage regarding the flexibility of railway constructions.

From pollution degree PD3A, REO relies on this MPS protective coating. To ensure the safety of people and components, REO generally uses high protection classes. Currently, we offer a protection class value of up to IP67 in a wide product range. REO components must prove their high resistance value under the harshest test conditions. These include salt spray tests, cold and heat tests, or tests regarding water resistance or fire protection.

REO applies coatings and varnishes only under strict consideration of the necessary safety measures. Elaborate filter systems and safety standards ensure that the effects on both humans and nature are reduced to a minimum.

REO offers the silicone coating as REO Xtreme or REO Mix & Match.
