Thomas Riedel acquires ARRI (@arri ) 🎬🎥 What feels like something straight out of a movie has just become reality: our founder Thomas Riedel has acquired ARRI, the Munich-based premium manufacturer of camera and lighting technology for motion picture and live entertainment. This step establishes a close strategic connection between ARRI and the Riedel Group – bringing together complementary expertise across the entire production chain, from camera optics to distribution. Both companies will remain independent, with their strong brands, structures, and operations unchanged. The next chapter of a German success story spanning more than a century. ____________________________________________________ Thomas Riedel übernimmt ARRI 🎬🎥 Was sich wie aus einem Drehbuch anhört, ist seit Kurzem Realität: unser Gründer Thomas Riedel hat ARRI übernommen – den Münchner Premiumhersteller für Kamera- und Lichttechnik in Motion Picture und Live-Entertainment. Mit diesem Schritt entsteht eine enge strategische Verbindung zwischen ARRI und der Riedel Group. Dabei können komplementäre Stärken entlang der gesamten Produktionskette gezielt kombiniert werden – von der Kameraoptik bis zur Ausspielung. Beide Unternehmen bleiben eigenständig, mit unverändert starken Marken, Strukturen und operativen Abläufen. Eine über ein Jahrhundert alte Erfolgsgeschichte – die nun in deutscher Unternehmerhand weitergeschrieben wird.
