RIEDER GmbH & Co KG

RIEDER GmbH & Co KG, trading as RIEDER Zillertal, is a traditional family-owned construction and craftsmanship group based in Ried im Zillertal in the Tyrol region of Austria. According to its own company history, the business was founded in 1945 by master carpenter Alois Rieder, who started a carpentry workshop in Ried im Zillertal with four employees. Over roughly eight decades the firm has grown from a small Zimmerei into a diversified Tyrolean building group that today describes itself as consisting of six master workshops (Meisterbetriebe). The company is active across high-rise and civil engineering (Hochbau, Tiefbau), timber construction and carpentry (Holzbau, Zimmererhandwerk), and the manufacture of building-specific products such as windows, doors, floors and custom interior fit-outs. Its service portfolio listed on its website includes windows and doors (wood, wood-aluminium, plastic, lift-and-slide doors, entrance and interior doors), joinery (Tischlerei), timber construction, structural building and civil engineering. RIEDER Zillertal presents itself as a one-stop provider that can deliver an entire construction project 'from a single source' (alles aus einer Hand). The company is headquartered at Landstraße 33, 6273 Ried im Zillertal, Tirol, Austria, and can be reached at +43 5283 2201 and info@rieder-zillertal.at. It states that it employs around 400 people across Tyrol and describes itself as the largest employer in the Zillertal valley. Its projects span private homes, hotels and resorts, public buildings and infrastructure, including examples such as the Haus Linda rooftop extension in Schlitters, the Aufenfeld holiday resort in the Zillertal, the new Zell railway station, and a wellness building renovation. Ownership remains with the Rieder family. The company history records that Richard Rieder took over in 1961 and developed the business into a construction company, and that Alois Rieder took over the family business in the third generation in 1999. The firm has continued to invest in production capacity, opening a modern window factory in Kaltenbach in 1994, expanding it in 2015 and 2021, adding a new joinery and assembly hall and timber storage in 2006, a new building yard in 2010, a new office building in 2012, a showroom in Ried im Zillertal in 2013, a showroom location in Lienz in 2017, and a new carpentry hall with a timber construction centre in 2023. In 2022 it took over the Tischlerei Gögl joinery in Kramsach, including relocation of its furniture joinery, and in 2024 it carried out conversion and extension work on furniture production in Kramsach. Further construction phases are planned for 2025/26 in Ainet and a new building in 2026. RIEDER Zillertal positions itself as a quality-oriented, pragmatic and competent Tyrolean crafts business with deep regional roots, combining traditional family values with modern technology and prefabrication. It has also been recognised as an 'Ausgezeichneter Tiroler Lehrbetrieb' (distinguished Tyrolean apprenticeship company) since 2016, underlining its role as a trainer of skilled tradespeople in the region.

The history of RIEDER GmbH & Co KG, as documented on the company's own website, begins around 80 years ago. In 1945, master carpenter Alois Rieder founded a carpentry business (Zimmereibetrieb) in Ried im Zillertal with four employees. In 1954 the craft business was expanded to include a joinery (Tischlerei), and by 1956 it employed 15 people. In 1961 Richard Rieder took over and developed the operation into a construction company active in structural building, civil engineering and asphalt works. In 1970 the company founded Wohnbau Unterland, and in 1973 it founded Alpquell, taking over mineral water springs on the edge of the Matzenpark. In 1994 the company built a highly modern window factory in Kaltenbach. In 1999 Alois Rieder took over the family business in the third generation; new offices were occupied and a new cutting system (Abbundanlage) was installed. In 2006 a new carpentry and assembly hall and timber storage were added. A new building yard (Bauhof) opened in 2010, followed by a new office building in 2012 and the opening of a showroom in Ried im Zillertal in 2013. In 2015 the window factory was expanded and the company reached 400 employees. In 2016 it received the 'Ausgezeichneter Tiroler Lehrbetrieb' distinction for the first time. A new location with a showroom opened in Lienz in 2017. In 2019 a connecting bridge was built and the joinery (door production) and apprentice workshop were converted and expanded. In 2021 the window production was expanded and converted, including an enlarged machine park and increased automation. In 2022 the company took over the Tischlerei Gögl joinery in Kramsach, including relocation of the furniture joinery. In 2023 a new carpentry hall including a timber construction centre and expanded cutting systems opened. In 2024 the furniture production in Kramsach was converted and extended. Construction phases for a production hall in Ainet are planned for 2025/26, and a new building is planned for 2026. Today RIEDER Zillertal describes itself as a traditional family business consisting of six master workshops, with around 400 employees across Tyrol, specialised in structural, civil and timber construction, carpentry, and the manufacture of building-specific products such as windows, doors, floors and custom interior fit-outs. It presents itself as the largest employer in the Zillertal valley and emphasises its ability to deliver complete construction projects from a single source.
