RPI’S DECISION TO SPECIALISE IN WHAT IT DOES BEST HAS HELPED THE COMPANY BECOME A LEADING EXPERT IN ROTARY MEASUREMENT
Launched in the tumultuous 1940s, RPI largely produced metrology equipment in its early years, as well as manufacturing various other products required for the Second World War. From this platform, the organisation was able to forge a lucrative partnership with Rolls Royce, and the British manufacturer remains a key customer for RPI to this very day. These foundational successes eventually saw the firm acquired by an external investor, before being re-purchased in 2011 and returning to its roots as a family-run business.
