Riensch & Held

Manufacturer of Filter Components for Domestic Appliances and Accessories for Tea & Coffee

The hanseatic company
Riensch & Held was founded in 1845.
The  former coffee importer set the course for the future about 25 years ago and, by patenting a filter for cooker hoods, plunged into new territory. Very soon co-operation with household appliance manufacturers was in full swing, and research and development activities for filters was intensified.krötkl.gif (1761 Byte)

The trading company has meanwhile been transformed into a filter specialist with its own production. The traditional link to tea and coffee market, however, has survived. The new leitmotif "Ideas for tea connoisseurs" heads a product range which, alongside disposable filters and filter holders, includes permanent filters and filter pots, mugs and glasses. Its clientele extends from Europe to the USA and on to Japan.

Through its series of patents and registered designs, Riensch & Held has positioned itself as an inventive manufacturer and supplier of tea accessories. Accordingly, the house brands "teeli" and "finum" are becoming increasingly attractive to the trade.

The patented Tea Maker finum TEA CONTROL is "Product of the Year 2001" by the German Manufacturers Association of Consumer Goods FVKK.

Riensch&Held has been selected for the book "TOP 100 - The innovative medium sized companies in Germany 2000" by Prof. Hans-Jürgen Warnecke, President of the famous Research Institute "Fraunhofer Gesellschaft".

The Company is certified by Q-Zert and complies with the quality rules of EN ISO 9001:2000.
