Values

„CHALLENGING – HARMONIC – TIMELESS“

Perfect crafts in combination with high-quality, materials of the highest standards  are the main elements of our company's philosophy. With great craftsman's skills and a deep passion for their profession, Georg Rieger and his son Johann have been carrying on the tradition of their family business over the last six decades.

Georg Rieger

Company founder

„When I finally started my own business, in 1980 with the first reedmaking machines, this happened because of a kind of necessity (I could no longer handle the increasing request for machines and carry on with my full time job at Mercedes), but most of all because of the passion I have for those instruments. Therefore I'm particularly pleased to see that the Rieger Company has grown over the years to be a business that stands for special products of high quality.“

Johann Rieger

„I consider myself very fortunate to be able to realize my own visions and quality standards with the help of a pleasant and reliable team.“
