Pioneer and market leader in child safety
The past 100 years have seen numerous products from reer. Many of them have been so successful that they have become indispensable classics in every baby household. This is proven by our inventions - from baby food warmers to childrenproof window locks.
What we are particularly proud of is our market leadership in the field of small safety articles. Our quality and expertise in the areas of corner protection, cupboard protection, socket protection, furniture fall protection, etc. allow us to achieve great results with small products. We have sold over 62 million units of our socket protector alone, they can be found in around 3 million households.
The socket protector from reer - a Swabian original
In 1975 Paul Mörk, owner of reer, had an idea. They are rarely noticed but can be found throughout almost every German household with children. In many households, they remain, even though the children are grown up: The socket protector from reer.
Swabian ingenuity and tinkering have been protecting the health and lives of young children for almost 50 years. Giving children the freedom to explore their environment to their heart's content while staying protected from the danger of electric shocks. A product that saves children and makes being a parent just a little bit easier.
The Plus X Award
In 2020, we were awarded the Plus X Award in the Baby Monitoring category. Our baby monitors have ensured particularly high customer satisfaction.
In 2021, we were delighted to receive the award again. Baby monitors from reer are still top of the line today.
Interference-free transmission up to 5 km
On holiday, let your child sleep in the hotel room and even end the evening at the bar. This is no problem with the Walkie-Talkie baby monitors. With a range of up to 5 km, even several walls and floors apart are no issue.
This is another clever solution that was created at reer and made the everyday life of families easier.
The Innovation Award
With the bébétel Bluetooth, we were able to win the Innovation Award at Kind & Jugend in 2005. Kind & Jugend is the world's most important trade fair for baby products. Reer products are also regularly among the finalists.
The first smart baby monitor
Monitoring your baby through your telephone is currently a big trend. App-controlled camera solutions such as the IP BabyCam are particularly popular. Baby monitoring via telephone or mobile phone was already possible in 2000 - with the bébétel from reer.
The adjacent channel shield
With the NKA (adjacent channel shielding), reer achieved a real coup in 1994. Older baby monitors were wired or were not free of interference from noise. Tinkering and persistence were able to eliminate this shortcoming and reer brought the first interference-free baby monitor onto the market.
The inventor of the baby monitor
Paul Mörk always had an eye for the needs of parents. We also owe the baby monitor to his realisation that parents could be much more relaxed if they always had an ear on their baby. He developed the technology of the intercom further and thus invented the first baby monitor.

Robert and Luise Reer
1922 - 1962
In 1922, the company Leyh & Bosch GmbH was founded in Stuttgart. In 1925, the company went to the engineer Robert Reer. It has carried his name since 1939. Initially, the company specialised in hot-air showers for vacuums- an innovative product at the time - and electric gas lighters.
When Robert Reer died in 1948, his widow Luise Reer took over the business and continued to run the company successfully.
