The story of Robersom and RGR began in 1985. At 21 years old, professionally established as a car salesman, he happened to meet a neighbor of similar age who mentioned his recent dismissal from a machining connections factory. Now unemployed, the neighbor expressed his desire to start a business based on the knowledge he had acquired in the field. However, he shared an obstacle: he lacked the appropriate location to begin operations.

That conversation lingered in his thoughts.

Shortly after, they met again. Curious about the progress, Robersom asked his neighbor how the project was going. The conversation advanced and resulted in the beginning of negotiations for a partnership.

After approaching his parents about the idea of setting up a company in their backyard, he received the necessary support and encouragement to proceed.

The following week, he arranged his employment termination and they began defining responsibilities and the business plan.

To start, they sold personal assets and invested all their savings into the business.

In 1987, due to differences in vision, the partnership dissolved.

Due to limited resources, in a turbulent beginning, Robersom needed to return to the conventional job market. However, in his parents’ backyard, some tools, machinery, and raw materials remained as his share from the dissolution.

These items remained forgotten for months until one day his parents approached him with an ultimatum: “Take over the business alone, as we know you are capable, or clear our backyard.” These words struck his pride and his entrepreneurial spirit began to pulse again. With the experience gained during the partnership period, regarding machine operation and product development, he felt this was the path to follow.

He then decided to resign from his job and resumed command of the business, now alone. On an ordinary day, he called a boy passing by on the street and offered him a job as an assistant in the operation, with payment at the end of the day. This was the beginning of his first experience as an employer.

Next, he contacted a machining professional who worked at a company in the sector, offering him extra work outside regular hours. This professional accepted the proposal and, over time, became a permanent member of the team.

Over time, with great determination and focus on objectives, even in the face of the most complex adversities, the company standardized its operations, hired personnel, and fostered its base of suppliers and customers.

At a certain point, a commercial representative from the road implements and brake valves sector became interested in RGR products, incorporating them into his portfolio. This turning point was the milestone that strengthened the company’s market position and consolidated this entrepreneurial dream.

The company faced and overcame various crises over the years, always adapting with boldness and dynamism. The culture was established and drove growth. Investments in technology, processes, and expansion were always carried out in a cyclical and constant manner.

With the differential of quality and well-structured strategies, RGR Pneumatics became a reference in the sector.

Today, with 40 years of experience, 37 of which as RGR, the company is consolidated in the market as a leader and supplier to the major players in the segment, in Brazil and South America.
