Tradition and stewardship
Since 1550
Family-run since 1690 and now in its tenth generation, we uphold values that reflect our stewardship towards the future.
We live for porcelain enamel. Since 1922, we have been producing high-quality enamel cookware, manufactured CO₂-neutrally in the Mostviertel region of Lower Austria using electricity from our own hydropower. Today, our enamel manufactory is the only one of its kind in Austria.
„Enamel products made from natural raw materials, produced in a climate-neutral family business deeply rooted in the region – that’s what we stand for!“Ing. Friedrich Riess
Riess is a family business in two senses: the company has been passed down and continuously developed from one generation to the next. At the same time, our dedicated employees form the backbone of our company, contributing to our shared success with their craftsmanship and passion.
Respect for craftsmanship
Craftsmanship is not only skill, but the art of preserving and passing on knowledge through generations.
„We place great importance not only on manual skill, but also on a sense of responsibility and the ability to work as a team.“Susanne Rieß
Training, continuous education and team development form the foundation of our collaboration — ensuring a strong and motivated team that integrates the values of quality, innovation and sustainability into every step of the work.
Our company is closely connected to its community and local educational institutions through numerous joint projects, securing local jobs and added value.
Healthier cooking with enamel
In the 19th century, cooking was associated with harmful substances. Pots and pans released problematic materials when heated. In 1922, at the Ybbsitz site, the Riess brothers came up with the idea of producing “health cookware” made of enamel. Anyone who believes that this challenge no longer exists today is mistaken — pots and pans can still be potential sources of contamination. Riess continues to ensure that its cookware remains entirely free from such substances.
We are committed to making cooking energy-efficient and safe. We help people use our enamel products in ways that ensure they can be passed down and enjoyed for generations.

Du: Please proofread wir übermitteln Ihnen die Datei bis spätestens Ende der Woche. Könnten Sie mir den Link zum Magazin zusenden um zu verstehen welches Sujet auf der Gegenüberliegenden Seite zu sehen ist ChatGPT: Here’s a polished version of your text in German with corrected grammar and smoother flow: Wir übermitteln Ihnen die Datei bis spätestens Ende der Woche. Könnten Sie mir bitte den Link zum Magazin zusenden, damit ich sehen kann, welches Sujet sich auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite befindet? It keeps your polite and professional tone but improves clarity and syntax. Du: Umsatz claro ChatGPT: Der Umsatz der claro products GmbH lag laut einem Artikel im Jahr 2023 bei ca. 22 Mio €. Salzburger Nachrichten Für 2022 war ein Jahresumsatz von rund 23 Mio € prognostiziert. konsument.at Wenn du eine detailliertere Umsatzaufstellung (z. B. nach Jahr oder Exportanteil) brauchst, kann ich sie gerne recherchieren. Du: Palatschinkenpfanne übersetzen in French Italian Slowenian ChatGPT: Gerne — hier sind die Übersetzungen für „Palatschinkenpfanne“ (gemeint ist eine flache Pfanne zum Zubereiten von Palatschinken bzw. Crêpes): Französisch: poêle à crêpes Italienisch: padella per crêpes Slowenisch: ponev za palačinke Möchtest du, dass ich sie auch in einer Produktbeschreibung oder auf Verpackungsebene formuliere (z. B. mit Artikelbezeichnung)? Du: Can I also say this in slowenian: Crêpe ponev ChatGPT: That’s a good question — and almost right, but “Crêpe ponev” sounds a bit odd to Slovene speakers. Here’s why: In Slovenian, “ponev za palačinke” is the natural phrase, meaning literally pan for pancakes/crepes. The borrowed French word crêpe isn’t commonly used in Slovenian everyday language or on packaging (unless you’re marketing very internationally or stylistically, e.g., “Crêpe ponev” as a design/branding choice). ✅ Correct / natural: Ponev za palačinke — the standard Slovenian term 💡 Acceptable as a stylistic or marketing term: Crêpe ponev — works if you want a more international, design-oriented feel (e.g. on packaging alongside translations in other languages). Would you like me to suggest how to show both together nicely on multilingual packaging (e.g., layout or phrasing)? Du: Please translate to English: Silikongriffschutz ChatGPT: The German word „Silikongriffschutz“ translates to “silicone handle protector” in English. Alternative phrasing depending on context: silicone handle cover – more common in product listings silicone handle sleeve – if it’s a slip-on type silicone handle guard – if it’s designed for protection from heat Du: silicone handle protection ChatGPT: Yes — “silicone handle protection” is grammatically correct and understandable, but it sounds a bit less natural in product English. Here’s a quick comparison: German Possible English translations Notes Silikongriffschutz Silicone handle cover Most common and natural for cookware packaging Silicone handle protector Slightly more formal; emphasizes safety Silicone handle sleeve Best if it slips over the handle Silicone handle protection Understandable but sounds more like a general concept than a product name ✅ Recommendation for packaging or product naming: → Silicone handle cover or Silicone handle protector Du: Please translate Schmortopf mit Deckel / stewpan with lid into FRENCH ITALIAN SLOWENIAN ChatGPT: Here are the translations for „Schmortopf mit Deckel / stewpan with lid“: Französisch: faitout avec couvercle Italienisch: casseruola con coperchio Slowenisch: posoda za dušenje s pokrovom ✅ All three are natural and commonly used in cookware contexts. Would you like me to make the translations fit a packaging layout (e.g., shorter “title-style” versions like Faitout – Avec couvercle)? Du: Please proofread Before first use: remove adhesive labels and wash the cookware with hot, soapy water. • For optimal energy efficiency, ensure that the cookware base matches the size of the heating source. • Never heat cookware without contents and remove it from the heat source in a timely manner. • Remove the silicone handle protector for cleaning and and before using it in the oven. ChatGPT: Here’s your text with minor corrections and smoother phrasing: Before first use: remove adhesive labels and wash the cookware with hot, soapy water. • For optimal energy efficiency, ensure that the cookware base matches the size of the heating source. • Never heat cookware when empty, and remove it from the heat source in a timely manner. • Remove the silicone handle protector for cleaning and before using the cookware in the oven. ✅ Changes made: Removed the repeated “and” in “for cleaning and and before.” Smoothed “Never heat cookware without contents” → “Never heat cookware when empty.” Clarified “before using it in the oven” → “before using the cookware in the oven” for clarity. Du: Schmortopf mit deckel auf slowenian FR: cocotte avec couvercle IT: pentola da stufato con coperchio ChatGPT: In Slovenian, the correct and natural translation for „Schmortopf mit Deckel“ is: 👉 posoda za dušenje s pokrovom This matches the tone and precision of your French and Italian versions: FR: cocotte avec couvercle IT: pentola da stufato con coperchio SL: posoda za dušenje s pokrovom Du: Please translate to British English Seit 1690 familiengeführt, spiegelt unsere Emaillemanufaktur in zehnter Generation Tradition und Verantwortung wider – einzigartig in Österreich. ChatGPT: Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — now in its tenth generation — embodies tradition and responsibility, making it unique in Austria. Du: other word than unique ChatGPT: Here are a few alternatives you could use instead of “unique”, depending on the nuance you want: “...making it one of a kind in Austria.” – still warm and slightly more poetic. “...a rarity in Austria.” – emphasises how uncommon it is. “...a true exception in Austria.” – highlights its special status. “...standing alone in Austria.” – elegant and confident. “...remarkable in Austria.” – understated and refined. ✨ Recommended phrasing for a polished, heritage-oriented tone: Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — now in its tenth generation — embodies tradition and responsibility, standing alone in Austria. Would you like me to make it sound a bit more marketing-friendly (e.g. for packaging or website use)? Du: that we are the only austrian company with such a history ChatGPT: Perfect — in that case, here are a few polished British English versions that express that exclusivity clearly: “Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — now in its tenth generation — embodies tradition and responsibility, as the only Austrian company with such a heritage.” “Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — now in its tenth generation — stands for tradition and responsibility, the only Austrian company with such a long history.” (more refined, for packaging or brand storytelling) “Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — in its tenth generation — reflects tradition and responsibility, the sole Austrian company with a history of this kind.” ✅ Recommended: Version 1 — it sounds authentic, elegant, and clear in international contexts while preserving a warm, heritage tone. Du: Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — in its tenth generation — reflects tradition and responsibility, the sole Austrian company with a history of this kind. Change the last paragraph, unique history of its kind ChatGPT: Sure — here’s your sentence with the revised ending: Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — in its tenth generation — reflects tradition and responsibility, the sole Austrian company with a unique history of its kind. ✅ This keeps your intended phrasing while sounding natural and elegant in British English. If you’d like it to flow a bit more smoothly, you could also say: “…reflects tradition and responsibility, the only Austrian company with a unique history of its kind.” — slightly more natural rhythm for packaging or brand text. Du: remove sole Austria company, make it about history of its kind ChatGPT: Of course — here are a few polished options focusing on the “history of its kind” without mentioning the company’s exclusivity directly: “Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — in its tenth generation — reflects tradition and responsibility, with a unique history of its kind.” ✅ (clean and balanced) “Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — in its tenth generation — reflects tradition and responsibility, shaped by a unique history of its kind.” (a bit more narrative and elegant) “Family-run since 1690, our enamel manufactory — in its tenth generation — reflects tradition and responsibility, rooted in a unique history of its kind.” (warm and heritage-focused — ideal for brand storytelling) ✨ Recommended: “…rooted in a unique history of its kind.” It conveys depth and continuity beautifully for heritage branding. Du: Please translate to British English Tradition und Verantwortung Seit 1550 Als seit 1690 familiengeführtes Unternehmen in zehnter Generation setzen wir auf Werte, die unsere Verantwortung gegenüber der Zukunft widerspiegeln. ChatGPT: Tradition and Responsibility Since 1550 Family-run since 1690 and now in its tenth generation, we uphold values that reflect our responsibility towards the future. Du: other word than responsibility ChatGPT: Here are a few refined alternatives to “responsibility”, depending on the nuance you’d like: commitment – emphasises dedication and care stewardship – conveys a sense of mindful guardianship, ideal for heritage or sustainability contexts duty – more traditional and formal care – simple and warm, if you want a softer tone So your sentence could become: Family-run since 1690 and now in its tenth generation, we uphold values that reflect our commitment to the future. ✅ (balanced and natural) Family-run since 1690 and now in its tenth generation, we uphold values that reflect our stewardship of the future. (more poetic and heritage-focused) Family-run since 1690 and now in its tenth generation, we uphold values that reflect our care for the future. (gentle and human tone) ✨ Recommended: “commitment to the future” — it’s elegant, clear, and works perfectly in both marketing and heritage contexts. Du: that reflect our stewardship towards the future. or of ChatGPT: Good question — in this context, the correct and most natural phrasing is: ✅ “that reflect our stewardship of the future.” Here’s why: “Stewardship of” is the standard collocation in English. “Towards” would sound slightly awkward, as stewardship implies care for something already entrusted to you, not something you’re moving toward. So the full line should read: Family-run since 1690 and now in its tenth generation, we uphold values that reflect our stewardship of the future.

2022
The anniversary “100 Years of Riess Enamel” is celebrated. A special postage stamp is issued by the Austrian Post.
For generations to come
As a family-run company, Riess acts with generations in mind and operates sustainably. The company remains as committed today as it was in the past to the idea of producing long-lasting “health cookware” made of enamel and durable products in harmony with nature and people.
„Our philosophy is guided by ecological foresight, sustainable action and social responsibility.“Dipl.Ing. Julian Riess
Sustainability report
We are currently working intensively on our new sustainability report. In the meantime, we invite you to browse through our previous report.
Company housing
Shortly after the end of World War I, production declined sharply due to the economic crisis. The owners of the RIESS manufactory, together with their staff, built 15 residential houses with 30 flats on company-owned land next to the factory. This initiative helped prevent layoffs.
The staff lived free of charge in the residential houses and were able to grow their own food for personal use. Of the original 15 buildings, 11 still remain. Today, these houses are made available to employees at favourable terms until they are able to build or purchase their own home.
Family-friendly working hours
Since 1975, following a staff survey, we have mainly operated a single-shift system from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., allowing for a good balance between family life, leisure and work.
