About Us
When Robert Reiss manufactured Germany’s first stand-sit table in 1910, it was with “the well-being of his customers” in mind.
For us, the customer with his requirements and wishes has always been at the centre of our actions. Our company history is characterised by change and innovative ideas that have shaped the working world in their time. Today, REISS is a successful medium-sized company that produces high-quality office furniture in Bad Liebenwerda, Brandenburg, using state-of-the-art process manufacturing equipment.
Our REISS desk and storage systems can be used and combined in a variety of ways and enable the design of workspaces that create identification and give room for individual user preferences. Zones that enable concentrated work or specifically promote exchange and a sense of team spirit.
Working environments that inspire people and support them in realising their potential and achieving their goals.
REISS is tradition and future.

Our environmental management fulfils the requirements of the European EMAS regulation, which demands continuous improvement in environmental performance in addition to compliance with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 14001.

We publish the environmental indicators annually in our environmental statement.
The wood for the chipboard used in our products comes from sustainably managed forests. It is produced, harvested and traded under eco-friendly and socially responsible conditions.
