Background
We have been securing the future of our partners since 1955. Our corporate culture is characterized by reliability, solidity, and the cooperative idea. It is based on the idea of taking responsibility and solving economic and social problems together, true to the principle: “What one cannot do, many can.” In doing so, we always put people first. Community is therefore a top priority. Learn more about our background. Our chronicle will inform you about key events in our history from the founding of R+V Re until today.
