The company
BINDING TRADITION
The traditional company was founded in 1923 and is still family-owned. The company’s principle of manufacturing products to the highest quality standards is implemented today as much as it was in the very beginning. And this is achieved through innovative product research combined with continuous quality controls.
Since 2007 the company is located in Tulln, WHERE state-of-the-art facilities enable the latest in technology and science to be implemented in research, development and production processes.
REMARKABLE QUALITY
Riviera focuses on research and development as well as on the extraction of herbs and medicinal products, which are further processed into liquid medicines and ointments. The highest quality standards are met in the company’s own products as well as in the development and production of contract manufacturing.
