On April 1, 2007, Grete Memmert Riefler and Peter Riefler hands over management to their daughter. Christiane Riefler-Karpa, who had several leading positions in globally active companies after her national and international studies, took over as managing director and with it all responsibilities for the family company.
Traditional values such as customer satisfaction, quality, innovation, and reliability were to be upheld. This is what the new managing director has been pursuing from the start. With the business succession, the fields of customer orientation and product development received new impulses in order to be successful in the global market in the future as well. Outstanding examples for this new orientation were the opening of a branch in Shanghai (2011), a representation in India (2012) and especially the introduction of the Generation 2012 of appliances on the occasion of ACHEMA 2012. Willi Memmert, the company founder, was a never-tiring tinkerer and inventor. All his life, customer requests were the incentive for product innovations and new developments and that is how things continue to be at Memmert.
