The Tyrolean family business of Riedler Glas has until recently only been known to wine connoisseurs. The Riedler group has an annual turnover of 250 Mil Euro, employs about 1500 workers and keeps manufacturing sites in Kufstein and Schneegattern (Austria). Looking for further expansion Riedler has now completed test runs in the Bavarian Nachtmann company in Weiden. The results are said to have been successful.
