Our history: From fixer-upper to total solver.

Since 1994

1994 — The Beginning of Rimas

Rimas is founded by Louis Manders, alongside his other company Manders Automation. The original focus was on renovating used machines. The name stands for: Repair — Install — Maintain — Assembly — Service. Bosch soon asks him to become a partner in assembly technology for the Benelux. This is the start of a long-term partnership.

2002 — New direction and reinforcement

Mark Verstraten starts as managing director. Rimas continues to grow as an independent player in production automation and assembly technology. The focus on own projects is increasing and the trade branch is developing steadily.

2005 — Transfer and independence

Louis hands over the company to Mark Verstraten. Rimas continues to grow and develop into an independent company with a clear vision of customization and technology. Cooperation with new sectors is starting.

2008 — Breakthrough in high-tech

Rimas supplies ASML's first aluminum frame for use in cleanrooms. This marks the start of a new pillar in the portfolio, focused on speed, flexibility and precision in high-tech applications.

2011 — Growth and Innovation

Relocation to a larger, fully renovated building at Slootsekuilen 15. With modern facilities and more space, Rimas is ready for further scaling up.

2013 — Agility in a changing market

Due to the loss of orders from the energy sector, Rimas must refocus. The core activities remain intact, while the trade branch is experiencing strong growth. The company is resilient and forward-looking.

2018 — Grow on your own

Rimas takes back the shares of LIOF and Eurotech and opts for full independence again. The organization strengthens its position and continues to grow in sectors such as semicon, aerospace and heat pumps.

2023 — The Next Generation

Willem Verstraten becomes a majority shareholder and takes office as managing director alongside his father Mark. The family tradition continues with a fresh look to the future.

We combine technical expertise with a close team spirit

“We combine craftsmanship with technology. Together, we are working on systems that we are proud of and that help our customers move forward every day.”

“Innovation is in our work and in our mentality. At Rimas, you get the space to think along and keep developing yourself, every day.”

“Our customers are top notch in their field. That challenges us to get the best out of ourselves and create solutions that make a difference.”
