KMS Rinklin GmbH
KMS develop and construct special equipment for working in vineyards. KMS Rinklin offers equipment for all locations: robust, individually adaptable and user-friendly – reducing working hours in the vineyard and improving the quality of your grapes. KMS Rinklin are constructed with a modular system and can therefore be adapted to the particular training form and the terrain in the vineyard without any major effort. Each cutting head is driven by a separate oil engine. The robust knives, made of stainless cutlery steel, move in such a way that it is impossible to cut through the wires. The drive and opening hydraulics allow the pre-trimmer to be operated with the control head of the KMS vine-tying machine.

About Us
Inventiveness or hard graft – these were the alternatives facing 17-year-old Willy Rinklin in 1969 after he and his brother promised that they would deal with the leaves in the vineyard while their parents were away. The young agricultural machine mechanic constructed a leaf trimmer with which the time-consuming foliage work could be completed in a single day!
He continued to make further developments – initially while still completing his education – until Willy Rinklin and his brother finally founded their own agricultural machine workshop in Eichstetten in 1979. The works, which was also the agency for Dexheimer vineyard tractors and Clemens vineyard equipment, moved to the newly created Gewerbepark Breisgau industrial estate in 1993, where from 1998 they concentrated more on their own developments for viniculture. The success of these new devices demanded ever more employees and space, so that they regularly had to build and expand.
