RITZ Joins the ANDRITZ Group

It’s not just the company name of RITZ Pumpenfabrik that fits in well with ANDRITZ but also its product portfolio. RITZ products complement and extend the ANDRITZ product range perfectly. The German company with a long tradition in the pumps sector became a part of the ANDRITZ GROUP in December 2010 and is now operating under the name of ANDRITZ Ritz GmbH (Germany).

ANDRITZ Ritz is a part of the ANDRITZ HYDRO business area’s Pumps Division. “Pumps have a long tradition in the ANDRITZ GROUP. They have been a part of the ANDRITZ program for over 150 years,” says Manfred Wörgötter, Pumps Division Manager. The ANDRITZ product portfolio includes centrifugal pumps for the pulp and paper sector and for other branches of industry, large pumps for water supply systems, as well as reactor and cooling water pumps for the energy sector. “The product portfolios of RITZ and ANDRITZ complement each other very well, particularly in the centrifugal pumps sector. Joint use of the RITZ and ANDRITZ sales networks is one of our central goals in the first phase of our cooperation,” Wörgötter says.
