history
The company was founded in 1934 by glassblower Richard Hartinger († 1944) as a family business riha beverage group for apple juice production in Exten , a district of Rinteln . Initially, apple cider was produced for personal use. His son Richard Hartinger jun. (* 1929) joined the Mosterschule after completing a commercial apprenticeship and later took over the management. In 1956 the first building was erected on the company premises in Rinteln.
Since 1970 riha has also been offering carbonated beverages from the mineral spring in Extertal ( recognized as medicinal water in 1980 ) .
In 1979 the Hartinger group bought Mineralquelle Zurzach AG in Bad Zurzach (Switzerland).
In 1983 the Öhringen production facility of the former WLZ operation naturella Südsaft Aktiengesellschaft was taken over .
In 1990 the Fruchtquell fruit juice company in Dodow was added, where the Hartinger beverage group built one of the largest fruit juice companies in Europe with a production area of 12,000 m² and storage area of 15,000 m².
The juice bottler Agrozumos in Lekunberri ( Navarra ) has also been part of the group since 1994 .
In summer 2014 Gerber-Emig bought a production facility in Waibstadt , which had to be sold in the course of the merger with Refresco. In November 2015, production in Öhringen, 70 km away, was closed and relocated to the Waibstadt site.
The company generates over 500 million euros in annual sales worldwide and employs around 2000 people.
