AUSTROFLAMM: AN OVERVIEW
Portrait
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality
Austroflamm wood stove made by Rika. You are now a
member of a group of more than 100,000 Rika owners.
If you were not familiar with Rika before your purchase,
please allow us to introduce ourselves:
Rika was founded more than 50 years ago in
Micheldorf, Austria by Karl Riener and his family. From
a small company, specializing in hand made wrought
iron products, grew a large, well known company
recognized today as Rika Metallwarengesellschaft. We
appreciate quality and feel that our company
manufactures some of the finest wood and pellet
burning stoves available in today’s marketplace.
Unique designs and emphasis on quality, performance
and superior workmanship have made us a leading
stove manufacturer in Europe. State of the art
processes, such as; robotic welding, laser cutting and
complete micro-processor control systems, allow us to
produce a final product that we feel is unequalled.
In addition to wood stoves, we are also known for our high quality pellet stoves, wood-burning
cook stoves, freestanding fireplaces, and water heater units. Rika also produces a large
variety of other metal products for
international corporations.
In 1988, Rika began to introduce its
products into the United States under
the trade name Austroflamm. Rapid
growth in the U.S. is directly attributed
to the quality and unique design of the
Austroflamm line of stoves.
Thank you for your purchase.
