Reynolds & Reynolds Electronics, Inc. (R&R) is a leading supplier of battery backup solutions for the elevator industry. Under the trusted Powervator® brand, the company offers a comprehensive range of products designed to meet the unique needs of elevator professionals. These offerings include Emergency Return Systems and Battery Backup units for both traction and hydraulic elevators (single- and three-phase models), Emergency Brake Release (EBR) units, and Door Speed Controllers. These solutions are suitable for new installations as well as retrofitting existing elevator systems and are distributed through independent elevator contractors and major elevator manufacturers (OEMs).
R&R is proud to be a family-grown company with deep roots in innovation and customer service. Founded in 1989 by William (Bill) and his wife Renata Reynolds, the company was created to address a critical issue: Power outages that left people stranded in elevators. Bill’s ingenuity led to the development and patent of a battery backup unit for hydraulic elevators, paving the way for a series of innovative, Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved products that have become industry standards.
After Bill’s untimely passing in 1992, Renata took the lead in carrying forward his legacy, expanding the company’s offerings and nurturing strong customer relationships. In 2001, her succession planning brought her brother Werner John Reinartz on board as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), a role he continues to hold today, ensuring ongoing growth and leadership in the industry.
R&R’s Bethlehem, Pennsylvania headquarters features a state-of-the-art production facility designed with Lean Manufacturing principles to optimize workflow, minimize waste, and maximize productivity. Continuous investments in employee training, cutting-edge equipment, and innovative product development have positioned R&R as a leader in the elevator industry while staying true to its family-oriented roots.
