COMPANY PROFILE

Established by Palmino Longoni in 1936, RIMSA was initially a mechanical workshop dedicated to repairing typewriters and the like; hence the acronym R.I.M.S.A.
In the 80’s, RIMSA began focusing closely on the surgical lighting sector and, in April 1983, the Milan Trade Fair Authority awarded RIMSA the first prize for the design of a halogen surgical lamp.
The transition from repair workshop to production facility took place in the ‘40s. Company growth resulted in an expansion of the product range with the introduction of magnifying and fluorescent lamps. Starting in the post-war period, RIMSA began making a name for itself in the electronics, goldsmithery and dentistry.
The research in the medical field continued and in March 1992 the Milan Chamber of Commerce awarded the company the prestigious “Technological Innovation” qualification certificate.
With the new millennium, RIMSA decided to invest heavily in new technologies for the future. In fact in addition to the processes of training and development of the company staff, RIMSA continues to invest in infrastructure and software, giving the products new aesthetic, but also functional and technical design.
The company has adopted an approach to the digitalization of production processes, leading to complete automation.
In 2002, RIMSA developed the world’s first LED lamp for operating rooms when this technology was still in an embryonal state. After an undertaking of many years, in 2017, RIMSA patented UNICA, the only scialytic lamp that, thanks to its double reflection technology, is capable of completely removing glare.
