Writing on Villa ANRI today. The two 'ANRI' inscriptions and the bay window are clearly visible.

Villa ANRI

The origins of the ANRI company, one of the biggest employers in the valley

Villa ANRI in St. Christina, now a listed building, newly built in 1925, was used as the headquarters of the ANRI company founded in 1921 by Anton Riffeser. For this purpose, workshops, offices, warehouses, packing and exhibition spaces were housed here. ANRI products were sold as far away as the USA and in its heyday, the company employed up to 230 people. Production was moved to premises at Plan Tiefa in 1952 and ceased in 2021.
