For many years, the bottling industry was forced to utilize OEM components for its machinery which provided end-users a relatively short useful lifespan. Among consumers, this aspect of manufacturing simply became commonly accepted within the bottling industry. Noticing this trend, Richard Richter, Ricno's President/CEO, envisioned techniques to develop stronger and more durable components for bottling machinery, along with rapid manufacturing and delivery techniques, all at a lesser cost than many OEM components. Over the years, Ricno's reputation has preceded itself, and Ricno is now utilized by various bottling, filling, and packaging machine manufacturers as the OEM supplier for many machine parts. In fact, it is quite likely that virtually every disposable beverage bottle you use has at one point been in contact with a Ricno-manufactured part!

As Ricno's name became well-known through associated contacts throughout the machining industry for quality and timely manufacturing turnaround, we began receiving requests to produce various aerospace parts and components. Ricno gladly accepted the challenge, and has successfully stepped up to the plate. With highly skilled talent on our team, including employees from the aerospace industry itself, Ricno clearly has the expertise and competitive advantage to succeed in this challenging industry. As a result of our capabilities, Ricno is now considered to be a prime parts source for many Tier 1-manufactured assemblies and subassemblies.
