Ritter Gruppe

“Economic activities can, in the long run, only be successful if they are in conformity with mankind and nature” (Alfred T. Ritter, principal shareholder of the Ritter Gruppe).

The goal of the Ritter Gruppe is clearly defined: to deliver global solutions for sustainable development. The great challenges ahead are coupled with high expectations - but this is a path we have travelled over many years.

Due to the devastating aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster in 1986, the Ritter Sport chocolate hazelnut crop harvest in Turkey was con-taminated. To overcome reliance on nuclear energy and to find alternative and renewable energy sources was the motivation for Mr. Alfred T. Ritter to begin cooperation with Klaus Taafel. In 1988 they established the Paradigma Energie- und Umwelttechnik GmbH.

Greater energy efficiency, sustainable climate protection and use of alterna-tive energy sources were and continue to be the framework for our activities.
The key to our success is that for more than 20 years our philosophy is jointly implemented with people who believe in the same idea and communicate it to others.

The adoption of our technologies and innovations are widespread within Germany and at an international level, under the auspices of our Holding, which has been on the market since January 2009.

The Ritter Gruppe: Our force and energy for a better life and future.
