About us

Original MRUK® is the No. 1 when it comes to protective gloves and safety gloves in the German-speaking world. The first product almost 50 years ago was the well-known work gloves made of leather, which are still in demand today in many areas of application. Over the years, a large number of models for the most diverse applications in industry, trade and craft were added.

Today, Original MRUK® stands for a comprehensive full range of gloves in occupational safety and is the first point of contact for dealers and resellers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

As an importer, Original MRUK® has a worldwide network of producers and suppliers. Glove brands in the product range are SHOWA - for which the company has been general importer in Germany since 1995 - as well as the own brand TEUTO gloves, which are primarily distributed to end consumers through the trade. Sales are handled centrally via the digital ordering platform www.mruk.de and by specialist advisors in the field.

Behind original MRUK® stands today the owner family Rickfelder. Since 2011, business graduate Alexander Rickfelder has been managing the company, which his father Horst built up for 25 years together with the founder Dieter Mruk, who retired in 1999.

Since the beginning of 2020, Original MRUK® has been a division of Rickfelder GmbH. The company is located in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, Westphalia. The company is a shareholder of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Körperschutzimporteure GbR, member of the Verband der Fertigwarenimporteure e.V. (VFI, German Importers) and supports their initiative "SozialFair".
