About Reunitus
Reunitus is the established leader in the lost and found and mishandled baggage resolution industry. We are a family owned company, now in business for 55 years, enjoying multi-decade partnerships with leading companies.
At the same time, Reunitus is The Future of Found—transforming lost & found management and baggage resolution for the world’s leading airlines, hospitality brands, and entertainment venues.

Our Culture
Our Purpose is to “Redeem the lost, unclaimed, and rejected for the glory of God.” As a business centered around lost and found, this is clearly manifest in how we repurpose forgotten items that would otherwise end up in landfills, but we also strive to redeem people and communities through our Reclaimed for Good foundation, providing suitcases, clothing, medical supplies, and eyeglasses to those who need them all around the world. This purpose is core to who we are and has guided our decisions for over 55 years.

They are:
• Integrity: Do the right thing.
• Excellence: Always reach for better.
• Humility: Listen and learn.
• Service: Help others win.
• Teamwork: Grow stronger together.
• Gratitude: Choose to be thankful.
• Entrepreneurship: Make it happen.
We offer a casual yet professional work environment, flexibility, great benefits, competitive pay, and a close-knit team who cares. We are all about people and seek to foster a culture of collaboration, support, and growth.
