RLS, a Renishaw associate company based in Slovenia, has tripled the size of its operations with a new, 2,100m2 custom-built facility in Komenda.

The new building, which includes a 180m2 cleanroom with electro-conductive flooring and conforming to the ISO 8 standard, represents a significant expansion to RLS’s design and manufacturing capability.

RLS has been an associate of Renishaw, a measurement, motion control, spectroscopy and precision machining specialist, since 2000, when Renishaw took a 50% shareholding.

Janez Novak, Director of RLS, said: “We are drafting further company growth based on our own products, good manufacturing capabilities and solid co-operation with Renishaw.

“In the coming period, our company is going to invest a lot of effort into our excellence in engineering and into upgrading the quality system, especially because some of our products are designed for demanding, safety-critical applications.

“Our vision is to become a leading global manufacturer of innovative linear and rotary sensors and elements.”

Sir David McMurtry, Renishaw’s Chairman and Chief Executive, added: “It has been a joy and a pleasure for me to visit RLS again and meet the staff – they are absolutely amazing. I am delighted how the company is growing, and driven by Janez, we are expecting a great future.”

RLS is a designer and manufacturer of solid-state encoders for measuring speeds and rotary or linear position in the harshest applications. Its products are used in medical equipment, gas pumps, robots, oil-field equipment, construction machinery, off-road vehicles and ‘smart’ machines of all types.
