A History of Excellence
From a young age, H.A.Brieger aspired to pursue his craft—that of a soap maker. However, in Riga this craft lacked masters, so his father sent the 17-year-old boy to study in what is the modern-day Poland. In 1849, he returned from his studies and opened his first factory, which in addition to soap also manufactured candles. By 1852, he had already become a household name and helped to establish the Soap Makers’ Guild. Learn moreSubscribe and be among the first to experience the heyday of H.A.Brieger
