“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
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.
You can find further information on this in the RIESS Sustainability Report.
