About riha WeserGold Getränke
From sweet cider maker to international full-range supplier
Necessity is the mother of invention. And so, at riha WeserGold - named after the first letters of its founder's name - a problem was at the beginning of a success story that continues to this day. In Richard Hartinger's case, this "need" was his great thirst caused by the intense heat of his work as a glassblower. His solution: apple juice, which he initially pressed himself from the plentiful supply of apples for his own use.
He built a simple hand press for this purpose - a development that was to be followed by many others. In 1934, Richard Hartinger finally produced soft drinks commercially for the first time.
After completing a commercial apprenticeship and attending cider school, his son Richard joined the small cider business and today heads the advisory board of the family company, which generates over 600 million euros a year and is one of the largest fruit juice producers in Europe.
Richard Hartinger Jr. is now the third generation to join the company and has secured the succession in the riha WeserGold beverage group.
