Reisser & M. Werthner”. After Reisser's death, the company was run by his widow Isabella Bauer, along with Werthner and Reisser's son Victor (1867–1944). In 1900 Max Werthner left the company and the second son Christoph Reisser took his place as a partner.  With the departure of Werthner, the company was renamed Christoph Reisser's Sohne in 1900.
