Riha Snapshot
From a cider-maker to a producer of a wide range of beverages
Necessity is the mother of invention. Something that riha WeserGold – whose name is derived from the initials of the founder’s name – knows only too well. Before the company became the success story it is today, it was faced with a problem. In the case of Richard Hartinger, this ‘problem’ was his incredible thirst brought about by his work as a glass-blower. His solution was to drink apple juice, which he pressed himself from the plentiful supply of local apples.
To do so, he built a simple hand-operated press - the first of many designs that followed. In 1934, Richard Hartinger finally began to produce refreshment beverages on a commercial basis.
