“Cookware made from natural raw materials, produced in a climate-neutral way
at a regional family-run business, that’s what we stand for.”
Friedrich Riess
Sustainable thinking since generations
Ecological vision and social responsibility
The manufacturing process is powered by green energy from the three hydroelectric power plants along the Ybbs river, which have provided electricity generation since 1926. The extra power is fed into the natural electricity grid, making production a CO2 neutral process.
In the selection of our raw material providers, we take short
transport routes and environmentally-friendly means of transport such as
trains and ships into account alongside quality. This strengthens the
region and protects the environment.
Many manual work steps must be taken by the Riess team before a piece of
distinctive enamelware leaves the production site. The team’s passion
for quality has its roots in the company’s social commitment.
Deep rooted in the region
„We have been manufacturing in Ybbsitz since 1550, so the region is very dear to us.“ Friedrich Riess
The firm is an old-established business in the mar- ket town of Ybbsitz. With a workforce of more than 100, RIESS KELOMAT is an important em- ployer in the region. Up to 48% of employees are drawn from the local community.
Well-trained employees are the lifeblood of a healthy economy and the backbone of the com- pany. We are therefore dedicated to investing time and money in training young people and commit- ting ourselves to regional development projects.
