Great things spread fast - in August 2011 three organizations signed membership of the R2 Initiative to support the reduction of rework.

RUAG is the center of excellence for military and civil aviation with headquarters in Emmen, Switzerland.

Autoneum, formerly known as Rieter Automotive, specializes in acoustic and heat management solutions for the automotive industry and is headquartered in Winterthur, Switzerland.

In addition to those 2 new members DataSquare signed up as a member of the network of R2 Specialists with experience in PLM consulting and Aras Innovator software tool knowledge.

The R2 Initiative is looking forward to welcome additional members in September 2011. It is planned to have a first initial members meeting when there are 10 or more member companies.
