Responsibly into the future with respect for the past

Our history

Our identity

Looking to the future while respecting almost 130 years of history.
The success of the Rilling brand, and what the brand is today, has its roots in the distant past, when in 1896 Jakob Rilling laid the cornerstone and launched, in Nehren/Tübingen, production of baking ovens. Yes, these were the very beginnings of the Rilling brand.
In 1946, Ernst Rilling, son of the company’s founder, took over management and successfully led the company through the difficult postwar period.
In 1968, Ernst Eberhard Rilling, son of Ernst Rilling, joined the company and began to reorient the company. Starting with steel work tables for bakeries, the company began designing, manufacturing and distributing equipment for commercial kitchens. Production of large chrome-nickel steel kitchens was launched.

In 1978, Dieter Rilling, brother of Eberhard Rilling, joined the company. Under the leadership of two brothers, E. E. Rilling GmbH & Co. KG saw a rapid growth, becoming a market leader in kitchen appliances.
Three years later, another production facility is commissioned in Switzerland Rilling AG. The Rilling brand is by then one of the leading brands of equipment and systems for food service and mass catering.
Over the next 25 years, the capital group continued to grow, acquiring new companies that went on to capture a significant share of the European refrigeration equipment market. As the demand for professional foodservice equipment increased, the group decided to build a modern production facility in Poland.

In 2006, under the leadership of Eberhard Rilling and his son-in-law Marcus Sidler, Krosno-Metal Sp. z o.o. was established, with Adam Tyski—now a member of the management board—appointed as its director. This marked the beginning of the RILLING brand’s expansion on the Polish market
Krosno-Metal is quickly gaining the trust of Polish customers in the food service industry. The refrigeration equipment and stainless steel furniture manufactured in Poland are setting new standards in sustainability and ecology. The Rilling brand is recognised by the entire HoReCa sector. Production which deploys the latest technology, top-class components and responsible building of customer relations, ensures the success of Krosno-Metal on the Polish market and 10 years later leads to the decision to expand production with a new production facility.

Continuous development, investment in modern machinery and ever newer technologies enabled us to build a strong and recognisable brand in the catering industry.

Our history is built of many small stories that are our heritage. This is the story of Jakob Rilling, who many years ago produced his first oven for a bakery. These are the stories of our employees, our customers, hundreds of discussions, joint cooking demonstrations and countless amazing dishes, the taste, quality and safety of which Rilling oversees every day.
