A PASSION FOR GLASS
Tradition and innovation - the
Riedel company can proudly
look back on its 250-year
success story. From its
beginnings in northern Bohemia
down to this day, for 11
generations (for now) Riedel
Glass has stood for the high
art of glassmaking.
In 1673, when Johann Christoph
Riedel was born in the
Bohemian town of Neuschloß, no
one could have guessed that
this was also the birth of one
of the greatest glass
enterprises in the world.
This Bohemian glass merchant
was the starting point for a
direct line through several
generations down to today´s
corporate head Georg J. Riedel
and his son Maximillian. Each
Riedel in this long chain has
been able to contribute his
personal skills and views to
expand the company´s success
and make it what it is today.
