About RIMA Manufacturing Company
Our Mission
Rima’s focus is to continuously improve and create manufacturing solutions to serve all customers by making and delivering perfect parts.

Our History
Rima was incorporated in September, 1955, by Ed Engle and a partner. With a charge of romanticism, the two men called their new enterprise Rima in honor of their wives, Rita and Marian. It was initially located in a wooden frame building that formerly housed the horses of a local coal company. After a year of hard work and overcome challenges, Rima was ready to move up to a new cinder block solid headquarters.
In 1960, when equipment was purchased to compliment the capabilities of Rima's Screw Machines, our Machining Department was born. Building on our success, the Centerless Grinders became an additional dimension of our expertise.
Following two decades of progress, in 1978, Rima moved again. Now located in Hudson, MI on Munson Highway, our home stands as a symbol of what teamwork and time can produce.
Today, as always, the workers of Rima positively face the challenges that will bring opportunities for their greater security and strength both now and in the future.
