Headquarters
Rigips Austria

The rough stone has been transported from mining over 8.5 km to the slab factory by a material cable car since 1951 . This type of transport avoids around 22,000 truck trips annually.

The Austrian sales and marketing department, which is responsible for (application) technical support, is located in Vienna . Around 350 people are employed at the three locations (as of 2011) .
Six sales offices on the Balkan Peninsula are also operated from Austria.
