The beginnings of RM GASTRO: Bold steps towards international success
In 1994, Jan Richter and Ladislav Mrkvička founded the Czech company RM GASTRO. We became a pioneer in the field of catering equipment under the RM and REDFOX brands. Our wide portfolio of technologies and services gained the recognition and trust of our customers and thanks to their support we were soon able to expand our operations. In 1998, we opened a modern production plant in Veselí nad Lužnicí, and a year later we opened a new branch in Slovakia, and six years later we expanded into Poland.
We bring our customers the latest technology, complete turnkey solutions and first-class care.
Our production in Veselí nad Lužnicí is the heart of our company, providing a guarantee of top standard.
