In 2026, Heri-Rigoni GmbH will celebrate its 65th anniversary while simultaneously setting the course for the future: Adrian Rigoni is assuming the role of Managing Partner. With this appointment, responsibility for the family-owned company founded in 1961 is being passed on to the third generation.

Adrian Rigoni is the grandson of the company’s founder and the son of Armin Rigoni, who has led and significantly shaped the company as Managing Partner for more than 40 years. The generational transition represents a clear handover and has been deliberately timed to coincide with the anniversary year.

For decades, Heri-Rigoni has stood for innovative product solutions “Made in the Black Forest, Germany.” Early on, the company set industry benchmarks, including the development of the first ballpoint pen with an integrated stamp function. Since 2016, the product portfolio has been continuously expanded with products from the emotion factory brand.

With Adrian Rigoni, a new generation now assumes strategic and operational responsibility. His focus is on the further development of the company, strengthening existing brand segments, and aligning the business with future market requirements—while preserving the company’s long-established values.

Production will continue at the Niedereschach-Fischbach site in the Black Forest.
