Renner is the largest, independent purely action manufacturer  for upright and grand pianos in the world. The company's success is due to their ability to produce custom made actions for the individual customer.

However, some older models used Renners but have been replaced
by Abel in some models, and not replaced in other models.

So, go figure,
