Our History

RVM Systems started as a company in 1994 in Drammen, Norway. Back then, the company was trading as Repant AS. Because of its success and potential, it was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Gerald Engström became the largest owner, and finally decided to buy out the company from the stock exchange. Around the same time, the company changed its name to RVM Systems and moved its head office to Stockholm, Sweden. Niklas Engström became CEO in 2016. Since then, a couple of acquisitions have been made including the acquisition of Anker Andersen.
