We are nominated - 1362 participants from 40 countries applied for the 10th anniversary edition of the Green Product Award.

Our QR code with the GS1 Digital Link Standard links comprehensive information about the entire food supply chain and can thus be made available to the various process managers in a targeted manner. This makes our GN system web-enabled, because the GS1 Digital Link Standard connects the GS1 identity - such as a GTIN - with the web. With this new standard, various information about a physical unit can be made available flexibly via a single link. And this for consumers as well as all partners in the supply chain and retailers.

Efficiency, quality, and sustainability – these core values shape modern gastronomy and are at the heart of our products.

Discover our three latest innovations now and actively shape the future of gastronomy!

Rieber GmbH & Co. KG has digitized its showroom at the company headquarters in Reutlingen, Swabia, into a virtual 360° tour. It includes numerous product and user information, as well as images, links, and videos. This allows customers from all over the world to explore the Rieber portfolio interactively, anytime and anywhere. 

With our new watertight lid featuring an integrated Fresh-Membrane, fresh produce such as pre-cut salads and ready-to-eat products can be optimally stored, transported, and dispensed in the GN container reusable system. The advantages over plastic bags are clear: no packaging waste, significantly extended shelf life, freshness, and quality of the food preserved due to the special Fresh-Membrane allowing perfect exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Additionally, the hygienic stainless steel has antibacterial properties, minimizing germ formation. Furthermore, sensitive and water-containing fresh products in the robust GN system are protected from daylight and physical stress such as pressure and friction. This ensures freshness without plastic, waste, or transferring.

Our new GN container GNauto offers the absolute revolution in terms of destacking and space saving. As the name GNauto suggests, this new container developed by Rieber can now also be destacked and handled automatically by robots. This also saves a lot of time in manual use. As a further elementary benefit, the containers require around 60% less storage space, a huge advantage in many kitchens. With this container innovation, Rieber has created another sustainable milestone - being able to use the Gastronorm reusable system in a scalable and efficient way.

For this purpose, the Reutlingen-based company not only provides its highly technologized flagship kitchen at the urbanharbor canteen 'speisewerk', but also the complete microgreens range.

In Eschlikon, Switzerland, Rieber|Alinox, our esteemed subsidiary, creates the unique SWISS|PLY multilayer material. The manufacturing process there is a true masterpiece: precise, modern, and infused with a touch of Swiss serenity. Here, traditional craftsmanship merges seamlessly with innovative technology.

France is strictly committed to reusable solutions. Starting from January 1, 2025, the EGalim law will come into effect, prohibiting the use of plastic in direct contact with food. This is not a problem for our GN Reusable System, which is made of 100% food-safe stainless steel. To experience and get to know our solutions and products better, 10 representatives from the TREMPLIN reusable project visited us in Reutlingen, along with our French Rieber partner, Enodis. These were exciting days filled with forward-looking insights into the future of reusable food service.
