"500-1000€ for some aluminum bars, some fabric and some rims!!!!", "After all, everything comes from China anyway! And they want so much money for that!", "It's a shame that a great product is spoiled by greed for money. Would be really great but the price defies description." "There are trailers for €120 on amazon."
Unfortunately, we hear such and some less qualified criticism again and again from people who come into contact with our advertising on social media, but do not bother to actually deal with reacha. Yes, our trailers are not cheap. And, no, not everything comes from China. reacha is not a product of industrial mass production!The heart of our reacha, the frame, is handcrafted in small series in Upper Bavaria. The high-strength and coated aluminum tubes from Belgian production are given their final shape at our partner in the Rosenheim area using a special process. We also focus on innovation and sustainability with other materials instead of low prices. Be it our loading platform, made in our district town of Miesbach, from a CO2-binding wood material produced in Switzerland. Or for example our Bow cover from the Allgäu, which, thanks to recycled pre-consumer mono-plastic, can easily be reintroduced into the production cycle at the end of its life. We can now proudly say that 85% of reacha is produced in Europe. The last parts are then assembled here at Tegernsee, everything is checked, packed and shipped. As a small company, we developed reacha at our own risk and brought it to market maturity without a large investor or a large brand conglomerate in the background. The quality and longevity of the product and our responsibility towards people and nature were and are more important to us than pushing the price down to the lowest level. This is another reason why we give a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee and a 10-year spare parts guarantee. In addition, with quantities of less than 5,000 trailers per year, we have little influence on the prices of our producers. A company such as Thule with 50,000 to 100,000 trailers a year and owning entire production lines in China, can of course achieve very different manufacturing costs per unit than us.It remains to say that reacha is more than just "aluminum poles, some fabric and a few rims". Let's start with the fact that we don't use poles, but tubes... Also, every year we get morecustomer testimonials to counter these comments on social media: "Well thought out, it is definitely worth the money.", "At first I was skeptical because the price was actually beyond my budget. Now I'm totally excited.", "The price is high, but absolutely justified. Best trailer I've had so far." and many more.
