The Company Ringana
Ringana is just celebrating their 24th birthday and until today a family run business! It all started back then with a tooth cleaning story: one day, his son brought back home from kindergarten a teeth cleaning set. Those are distributed for educational purposes to the little ones. Andreas Wilfinger, the founder, says “I did, what we all should do every time: I looked at the list of ingredients at the back of the tooth paste…”
And that is when he started making products with no chemicals. I call that very innovative at a time, when very few ever thought about harmful ingredients in food or cosmetics.
After many laborious years of research and development, the company today can look at an impressive annual revenue of 30 Mio Euro with a growth rate of 30%.
The Ringana Philosophie
The Ringana freshness-philosophie is rather unique.
“No comprises down to the smallest detail” says Andreas in the 3 minute image video (afraid in German only) who was a finalist in 2013 for EY entrepreneur of the year.
The company says about themselves that they are the only manufacturer in Europe with entirely freshly made products. The pillars of their philosphy are
first: 100% freshness
second: 100% active ingredients
third: 100% responsibility
fourth: 100% ethics
Sounds like no shortcuts to me.
Ringana makes all their vegan products without any chemicals such as mineral oils, parabens or silicons, and does not add preservatives. Andreas adds: “we do not follow trends, we create them!” What he has recognized 20 years ago still lies in the future for many other businesses.
Ringana Production
Ringana product are exclusively available through sales partners on a recommendation basis. Due to a recent expansion available in Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Spain, Italy, and Netherlands, UK and in Denmark from now when this blog is written.
Location for their manifacturing is Hartberg in Styria, also called the green heart of Austria. All raw materials are sourced worldwide with an emphasis on fair trade, organic farming and sustainability. Ingredients are being delivered fresh, immediately processed, and fresh products delivered to the customer on a daily basis. There is no warehouse, which means that no customer receives a product older than 14 days ever.
No wonder the brand has received many awards, for example the so called ‘Luxepack’ Award for packaging their skin care products in reusable cotton cloths.
And last year, they have won the green award “climate protection” for up-cycling a former super market into the current production site.
Ringana Denmark is still in the begining to open up the market, so you have an unique chance to start your new Network Marketing business from home.
