Armed with skills and an entrepreneurial spirit, he established his own company in 1901. Richard Müller’s vision was clear from the start: not only to manufacture production tools but also to use those tools to produce high-quality materials. This forward-thinking approach laid the foundation for a business model that would prove resilient and successful for many years to come. By 1906, just five years into its operations, RMIG had already expanded into perforation - a technology that complemented the company’s core toolmaking capabilities. Under Richard Müller’s prudent leadership, growth was steady but controlled. He believed in organic expansion without accumulating debt, a philosophy that ensured RMIG’s stability through challenging economic times. This early commitment to sound financial management remains central to RMIG’s DNA. Driving innovation and welfare for the long-term The company faced its first major leadership transition in 1925 following Richard Müller’s untimely death. His son, Ernst Müller, took over the business at the age of 26, ensuring a smooth generational handover. Ernst Müller, much like his father, adhered to strict financial discipline while continuing to expand the company’s capabilities. By 1936, the business had grown to such an extent that it was converted into a limited liability company, a key milestone in its formal evolution. Ernst Müller’s leadership not only drove operational success but also set a precedent in corporate social responsibility, exemplified by RMIG’s early introduction of paid holidays in the 1930s - a progressive move that positioned the company as an industry leader in employee welfare. The 1960s marked a period of significant technological advancement for the company. RMIG undertook a comprehensive upgrade of its machinery infrastructure by implementing a new technology that enabled perforation across the full width of the coil - a process now known as all-across press technology. This innovation, coupled with RMIG’s decision to manufacture its own perforation machinery, solidified the company’s position as a technological leader in the field. With a growing export market, RMIG began laying the groundwork for what would become a truly international presence. At the same time, in 1965, Ernst Müller and his wife established the Rich. Müller Fonden (the Rich. Müller Foundation), transferring the majority of shares to the foundation. This move aimed to ensure RMIG’s long-term stability and support existing and former employees and their families. The foundation was designed to preserve the founder’s core values. By securing a sustainable ownership model, the foundation allowed RMIG to pursue long-term growth strategies without the pressures of short-term financial objectives, creating a stable solid base for future expansion. A global presence The next major strategic shift came in 1972 with RMIG’s expansion through acquisitions and the establishment of new ventures. This led to the creation of RM Industrial Group A/S (RMIG) in 1978, setting the stage for RMIG’s growth into a European network of perforation facilities in the coming decades. With this expansive footprint, the company was well-positioned to capitalise on emerging opportunities across Europe, laying the groundwork for RMIG’s market leadership in the global perforation market. During this period, the Rich. Müller Foundation initiated a collaboration with FLSmidth & Co. A/S in connection with investing in foreign perforation companies, making FLSmidth a joint owner of RM Industrial Group A/S. This collaboration ended in 2001, when the foundation bought back the shares from FLSmidth, making it the sole owner of RMIG. In 2019, RMIG made its largest acquisition in the company’s history with the purchase of the MEVACO Group. This acquisition led to the division of the RMIG Group into three business areas: RMIG Automotive, RMIG Solutions, and MEVACO. Each business area operates with its own business model, focusing on delivering the best value to its specific customers. It has been a long and inspiring journey from the founding of the company to the present day, as we prepare to celebrate the 125th anniversary in 2026. Throughout its history, RMIG has achieved continuous cross-border expansion, undertaken acquisitions, and delivered technological breakthroughs, all while upholding the principles and tenacity of founder Richard Müller. Fiscal responsibility, a tradition of innovation, and a commitment to maintaining a positive working environment remain benchmarks for the company’s operations and future direction. The anniversary will be celebrated with a series of events for employees throughout 2026. Introduction Who we are RMIG’s business mission is to be an innovative and sustainable supplier of perforated products. With high autonomy across our three Business Areas, we are well-positioned to respond to trends and risks both locally and globally while ensuring a focus on energy efficiency, resource use, health and safety, and responsible supplier relations from a central Group position. Each Business Area operates with its own growth strategy, focusing on selected customer segments, addressing their unique requirements. As part of the RMIG Group, each Business Area benefits from shared expertise, innovation, and resources. This synergy allows RMIG to provide customers with: • Comprehensive access to advanced perforation technologies and solutions • Consistent quality standards across all products and services • A partner with the scale and reliability to support businesses worldwide Supplying diverse solutions across business areas RMIG Automotive focuses on supplying interior and exterior grills to the automotive industry. The grills are manufactured from perforated metal or expanded metal, formed, surface treated and mounted on a plastic carrier. The customers are generally Tier 1 or Tier 2 suppliers to the automotive OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers). RMIG Solutions focuses on supplying premium tailor-made solutions for selected customer segments in specific industries. The customers are typically larger companies within industrial wear and tear parts and durable components, as well as customers with building and architectural projects. In addition to manufacturing and supplying perforated products, RMIG Solutions provides secondary operations, logistics, and important technical advice, thereby assisting customers through all phases of their projects. MEVACO focuses on selling standard sheets and simple tailor-made products in an efficient and digitalised setup within an automated production flow, with delivery times between 24 hours and 4 days. The customers are typically smaller metalworkers or resellers/distributors. This forms the Group as it is known today, consisting of seven manufacturing and logistic units in four countries and local sales offices in 14 countries across Europe.
