Our dyeing facility in Stadtallendorf, Richter Färberei & Ausrüstung, or Rifa for short, is a medium-sized and innovative business with a long tradition. For 150 years now, everything here has been revolving around wool. The focus is on dyeing and finishing wool, silk and other fibers. Even if our customer has a special color idea, be it in the form of a piece of fabric, thread or paper, we enjoy transferring it into fibers. From dark to light, pastel to bright shade, everything is possible by us.

In a positive, collegial and creative working environment, the valuable materials are processed and refined by around 100 employees. The strong team spirit, the flat hierarchies and the opportunity to constantly develop professionally and personally makes Rifa special.
