Five Times Ten

Summiteers.How does it feel to have

made it to Level 10? Our five stars have reached the highest

level of the RINGANA Business Plan.

They tell their personal success stories here.

We got to know RINGANA in 1999 and

were immediately enthusiastic about the

idea. For us, there was and continues to

be nothing comparable in the whole

world! We got to know the founders,

studied the marketing plan, and

recognized: this is a one-time

opportunity for the future. In the

meantime, we have achieved Level 10,

have 6,000 partners in Austria, Germany,

Italy, Spain, and Switzerland, and our

annual revenues are 8 million euros.

Every day, we are pleased that we can

pass on this opportunity to others.

We have been successfully working with

RINGANA for nearly eighteen years. Our

company was founded in 1998 by our

father Bernhard Geraths with the support

of our mother Renate. Along with Sissy

Kraus (since 2001) and Berthold Wett

(since 2004), the next generation quickly

came on board. With more than 8,000

Fresh Partners in Europe, we generate

annual gross revenues of nearly 17 million

euros and a monthly net commission of

around €65,000.

I got to know RINGANA during my

maternity leave. I was looking for a

sustainable business idea in order to be

able to work flexibly from home. My goal

was to earn around €400 per month

extra. In actuality, it quickly grew to more

than twice that much. With RINGANA, I

was able to be with my children at home

while polishing up my career. Today I

have a team all over Europe, and my

monthly commission is between

€20,000 and €25,000.

Edith Sieberer K I T Z B Ü H E L , A U S T R I A

Completely in keeping with the motto:

“Idea + Team = Success”, I decided to

make RINGANA my main occupation in

2009. I concentrated on the Italian

market. It was pioneer work, filled with

challenges. Today, I lead an international

team and am enthusiastic about how

through my own activity, others can also

arrive at power and success. I am

thankful to be active in a sector that

matches my philosophy of life one

hundred percent.

Happy Birthday RINGANA! What began in 1996 as

a bold start-up has today become an international

success concept which serves as an example

with its values, ethics, and aesthetics. Our core

competencies include current trends such as nature,

sustainability, and health consciousness, resulting in

highly effective cosmetics and superfoods. Just like

our brand new product line RINGANA SPORT, which

once again perfectly captures the spirit of the times.

RINGANA is among the most innovative and fastest

growing companies in Europe. Our vision is to have

100,000 partners by the year 2020. Let’s realize this

goal together!

Have lots of fun with the new

RINGANA People!Lydia Werner

T R U M A U , A U S T R I A

At the age of thirty-two, I started out with

self-employment with three shops and an

event organization. Then I got to know

RINGANA and was convinced

immediately. I gave up my company and

started a new full-time career with

RINGANA. Before, the income from my

side job amounted to €1,500 a month.

Today, with a monthly commission of

€42,000, I have financial freedom. I am

proud to be part of a great vision along

with my team.

RINGANA SPORT push, boost, and go – with these new pro-

ducts, RINGANA will now ring in a whole new age in the world of

sports, too. The new RINGANA sports line is compact but careful-

ly considered, and it speaks to both ambitious hobby athletes and

sports pros. Depending upon the combination of products, the

different demands and needs with both training and competition

are perfectly covered.

push

RINGANA SPORT go cools, warms,

and relaxes – it is ideal after sporting

activity, working against muscle

tension. In that way, it provides a

pleasant effect as well as new energy.

The areas of the skin that are involved

are first of all cooled by means of

mint menthol, and then selected plant

extracts such as chili and ginger

provide an agreeable, lasting

heat effect.The greatest effort requires the

best care: RINGANA SPORT boost

quickly supplies the body with

energy and at the same time

supports stamina for lasting

performance. The carefully con-

cocted formula with coconut water

and creatine offers pure energy in

the form of various carbohydrates

(dextrose and dextrin).

Maximum performance, maximum

protection: RINGANA SPORT push

activates energy reserves while the

body is protected against free

radicals during great exertion.

The antioxidants that it contains are

mighty allies in the battle against

these molecules that damage cells.

NADH and PeakATP™ push energy

metabolism and the desire to move,

thus spurring on peak athletic

performance.

Our RINGANA anniversary year could not have started off

better – the completely booked RINGANA Kick-Off in

Salzburg was totally devoted to entrepreneurial

development. Especially exciting: mastermind Andreas

Wilfinger presented the new, exclusive product line for the

very first time there: RINGANA SPORT! For all those who

could not be present, we have recorded the most

impressive moments here.

Our Vision

he Climate Protection Award is

presented by ORF, the Austrian

national broadcaster, along with

the Ministry of the Environment. The

purpose of the award is to recognize the

best climate protection projects in Austria.

In 2015, a total of 172 projects were

submitted for it. RINGANA convinced the

jury in the “Companies” category with its

sustainability programme “so green”.

H E R E A R E T H E F A C T S T H A T

C O N V I N C E D T H E J U R O R S

— RINGANA products are produced fresh

and in lieu of the usual cosmetics

additives such as preservatives, mineral

oils, and the like, they contain only

potent active substances from nature.

— For our unique RINGANA Fresh Factory,

an old supermarket was renovated in such

a way that it can be used with energy

efficiency as a modern production site,

without any new construction having to

be built on green space.

— The Fresh Factory uses biomass

remote heating and a processing cooling

system that is powered by solar energy.

An electrical vehicle is in use.

— The packaging that RINGANA ships is

reusable. For protection against break-

age, our glass jars are not wrapped in

outer boxes, but rather in organic cotton

towels from the Waldviertel forest region

in Lower Austria.

— The filling material in the packages can

be composted and used as fertilizer. The

shipping of the packages from the

factory naturally takes place on a

CO2-neutral basis.

— Recycling is carried out purposefully.

Thus the refuse from the company fits

into two home-sized garbage cans, and

the rest is reused.

Andreas Wilfinger on the award:

“We are very pleased that our strategy

‘added value, not added waste’ has

worked out. But we are also very

conscious of the fact that a sustainability

project is never completed. A challenge

that we are happy to set for ourselves

– after all, in the end it is about the

future for our children.”

„We had already decided upon

sustainability before the term was

in vogue.

” A N D R E A S

W I L F I N G E R

C O M P A N Y N E W S

From the choice of the location for our Fresh Factory to

the upcycling of the cool eco-packaging – RINGANA is

completely oriented toward sustainability. It is for that

reason that Andreas Wilfinger and Ulla Wannemacher

were granted the 2015 Climate Protection Award for their

modern green strategy.

Romy HausteinShe’s not just a treat for the eyes, she’s also

clever and successful (Level 6). Within the

framework of the RINGANA Business Model

Contest, Fresh Partner Romy Haustein was

chosen “The Face 2016”. We asked her for

an interview.

What prompted you to participate in

“The Face 2016”?

I’m proud to be a RINGANA Fresh Partner and I

absolutely wanted to present our ingenious

business. I was positively encouraged to do so

by my mentor, Christiana Scheibl.

How did the shoot in the RINGANA Fresh

Factory go?

It was great how professionally the shoot was

organised. The atmosphere on the set was very

relaxed, and the production team gave us partici-

pants a good feeling, so that our initial nervous-

ness quickly vanished and we felt really good.

Simply grand.

What were you thinking about during the

Grand Finale?

I couldn’t believe it at all and was totally

surprised. The ending was staged really

excitingly, with the photo of the victor being

shown little by little. At first, I only saw the lower

edge of my blouse, and I thought, “That’s my

blouse! That can’t be! Did someone else put it

on?” And then I heard the shouts from my team.

For me, that was an emotional moment that I will

never forget.

also like to reach the highest level of our

mentor. It’s very important to me to have stable
