The REISSWOLF Group

Better safe than sorry.

The REISSWOLF Group was the first European service provider for data security. Today, REISSWOLF is market leader in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Sweden. The Group is subdivided into REISSWOLF Deutschland GmbH and REISSWOLF International AG.

REISSWOLF Deutschland GmbH coordinates the activities of the German partners. The incorporation of REISSWOLF International AG was based on the decision to create a franchise system in which all REISSWOLF partners would operate under the same quality standards. The aim of the concern is to provide international leading edge security services which set new standards in data protection.

In 2004 the REISSWOLF Group consisted of:
  • 41 partners
  • in 13 European countries
  • with 830 employees
  • servicing 52,000 clients
  • with an annual turnover of 46.000.000 €
  • disposing of 158,000 tons of data.
The trend is upwards.
