Riesa
Riesa with 101 employees is one of the four German locations which process and refine vegetable oil.
The oil mill grinds rape and sunflower seeds to extract oil which is then refined on−site. The plant possesses a modern bottling facility of oil either to be bottled or bulk contained. In addition, refined vegetable oil is supplied to the margarine− and delicatessen−producing industry.
We like to consider the plant a partner to the local agriculture − as a buyer of raw oil seed for its own production or as a supplier
of meal extractions for the feed industry.
A further business facet of the plant is oil for the chemical and technical sector.
The Riesa plant is certified by the following standards: ISO, IFS, GMP 13 and QS.
