Senior director Jochen Richter founded the company in a former garage on October 17, 1992. Initially, the sales area was only around 40 square meters. His sons Falk and Ilko Richter took over the company in Wachau near Radeberg in 2003. The headquarters were enlarged in 2000 and 2014.
As a specialized retailer for model railroads and accessories, elriwa offers articles from all well-known manufacturers in the model railroad and model building industry in all scales on a sales area of approximately 300 square meters. Since 2006, the company has also been offering exclusive models in cooperation with individual manufacturers. Finally, elriwa is involved in industry initiatives and retailer associations such as EUROTRAIN and W13PLUS and functions as a central dealer for the PIKO store system.
Service and quality are particularly important at elriwa. Be it the skilled staff for sound and thorough advice or the services provided by the company's own workshop – customer service is always a top priority. The same applies to the mail order business. Based on these principles, elriwa has become one of the leading companies within the model railroad industry.
In 2006, the website www.elriwa.de was established. At present, around 40,000 items are offered, of which around 15,000 are in stock and shipped worldwide.
