Range of services

Ritter stands for perfection in mass production. With top performance and reliability, Ritter provides consistent high-quality. In addition to this, the company is characterised by its expertise in development and project work: the experts at Ritter provide their experience and know-how as a service to their customers and clients and, through professional interchange and close collaboration, develop customised products for specific applications. Their own tool-making facilities, the most modern manufacturing technology and know-how result in the highest precision.

Just-in-time at any time

Both efficient concepts for logistics and just-in-time solutions speed up processes and meet the customers’ needs in terms of low warehouse stock and short delivery cycles. Cross-company collaboration prevents bullwhip effects and lowers storage and administration costs.

For an unmistakable profile

Ritter was the first manufacturer to introduce digital printing on cartridges and, for this, Ritter has an in-house graphic design department to support its clients. This high-resolution process not only suits small lots exceptionally well, it is also excellent for accurate, photorealistic, distinctive and personalised decor. Unlike screen printing, there is no need here for a printing forme, so the range and flexibility of decors are almost endless.

A positive side-effect: needs-based small quantities make a significant contribution to protecting the environment. This allows Ritter to follow its own sustainability standards.

Dedicated to the environment

Economic, efficient production processes go hand in hand with environmental awareness. This conviction can be seen in life at Ritter in many ways:

Plastics

Ritter only uses tested, non-toxic plastics. In this respect, only materials are used which can consistantly be conducted to Circular Economy.

Besides recyclable and re-usable plastics, Ritter also focuses on biobased, biodegradable and compostable materials. Own production wastes are upgraded and reused.

Ritter is working on a consequent weight reduction of the products in order to flatten general consumption of plastics.

Energy efficiency

The new Ritter production plant has an energy control system that covers all aspects. It controls and regulates the lighting, ventilation and heating completely automatically and ensures maximum energy savings. This innovation was awarded the LEW Innovation Prize 2013 by the utility company, Lechwerke.

Ritter produces its own electricity from a 700kWp photovoltaic system and can both warm and cool the whole production site with the waste heat from a 2mW cogeneration unit. With closed cooling circuits, the problem of waste water is avoided.
