==History==
Founded in 1795 by [[Johann Jacob Rieter]] (1762–1826), the company initially produced textile products. In 1806, as [[Napoleon]] imposed the [[Continental Blockade]] to prevent trade between Continental Europe and the [[United Kingdom]], it became impossible for Rieter to get spare parts for its British textile machinery. As a consequence, the company started to produce spare parts themselves, and in 1810 the first self-designed textile machine left its workshop.{{citation needed}}
In 1982, Rieter acquired the British textile machinery company Ernest Scragg & Sons Ltd.<ref>[http://www.rieter.com/en/rieter/about-rieter-group/history-milestones/ History & Milestones].
