About Griebling Keramik
Griebling Keramik is a ceramics company specialized in planters, based in Mogendorf in the Westerwald (Kannenbäckerland). The product range includes plant bowls, cache pots and plant containers in trend-oriented collections for horticulture, plant retail and decor retail. Production uses regional Westerwald clay: on modern stamping machines, vessels with different surface textures are formed, which are fired in tunnel kilns and thereby gain stability and durability. Using powder coating systems with solvent-free powders, the containers are finished to be watertight and offered in a broad color spectrum. Product development is carried out with the aid of 3-D printing. Stamping waste and dry breakage are recycled and returned to the clay preparation, drying uses heat recovery from the kilns, and electricity comes from the company's own photovoltaic systems. Bulk customers have access to an exhibition open all year round as well as guided tours of the production.
