Range of services Ritter stands for perfection in series production. High-performance and reliable, Ritter delivers consistently high quality. The company is also characterized by its expertise in development and project work: Ritter's experts put their experience and know-how at the service of their customers and develop individual, application-specific products through professional exchange and close cooperation. In-house toolmaking, state-of-the-art production technology and know-how result in maximum precision. Just-in-time at all times Efficient logistics concepts and just-in-time solutions speed up processes and meet customer requirements for low stock levels and short delivery cycles. Cross-company cooperation avoids "bull-whip" effects and reduces storage and administration costs. For an unmistakable profile Ritter was the first manufacturer to introduce digital printing on cartridges. This high-resolution process is ideal for precise, photorealistic, individual and personalized decors. Unlike screen printing, no printing screens are required here, meaning that the choice of decors and flexibility are virtually endless. A process that is ideal for small delivery batches. Ritter supports its customers with an in-house graphics department. The pleasing side effect: small quantities in line with demand significantly contribute to protecting the environment. Ritter is thus living up to its claim to sustainability. Ritter in the name of the environment Economical, efficient production processes go hand in hand with environmental awareness. Ritter lives this conviction in many ways: Plastics Ritter only uses tested and pollutant-free plastics, using only materials that can be returned to the circular economy. In addition to recyclable and reusable plastics, Ritter also uses bio-based, biodegradable and compostable materials. The company's production waste is processed and reused. Ritter is working on consistently reducing the weight of its products to reduce the general consumption of plastic. Energy efficiency The new Ritter production building has an energy management system covering all components. It fully automatically controls and regulates lighting, ventilation, and heating and ensures maximum energy savings. Lechwerke awarded this innovation the LEW Innovation Prize 2013. Ritter generates some of its electricity via a 700kWp photovoltaic system and cools and heats with a 2mW combined heat and power plant, whose waste heat is used with an absorption refrigeration system to cool the production processes. Closed cooling circuits avoid wastewater.
