An introduction to RSP UK
RSP UK was founded in 2016, as the UK subsidiary of the RSP group, who have manufactured premium suction excavators since 1993, when production began in Saalfeld, Germany. Over the last 30 years, the RSP brand has expanded globally and employs 500 people across three continents. RSP suction excavators are now at work in over 30 countries, enabling the company to offer customers a valuable combination of global intelligence and local insight. Since its inception, RSP UK has grown to 40 employees and is a trailblazer for technology that improves safety and efficiency across the UK construction, engineering, and utilities sectors.
Our philosophy is centred around excellence, ambition, and innovation.
Our vision
We strive for the highest standards in everything we do, down to the smallest details, and believe in a culture of continuous improvement. We are accredited with ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety, ISO 14001 – Environmental Management Systems, and ISO 9001 – Quality Management Systems, which shows our commitment to being externally audited.
In a world of ever-increasing challenges, we retain our commitment to solving problems and improving safety and efficiency across the industries we work with. At the Bauma exhibition in 2022, we showcased RSP’s fully electric solution, and our aim as a global group is to be able to widely apply the advantages of emission-free suction.
We don’t limit our vision to what others might consider possible. We pride ourselves on imagining a better future and then making it happen. In the UK in 2021, we launched a world-first: a suction excavator with breaker boom, and last year we brought the first suction excavator with dual tipping to the UK market.
2023 was in fact our most exciting year to date, as we rounded up twelve months of significant sales growth with the announcement of an expansion to our product range. The first new products to be added to the range are Amphitec vacuum trucks and BROCK sweepers.
This initial expansion of the range of products is the next step on the roadmap for the progression of RSP UK, and our driving ethos remains to provide customers with an exceptional level of service and support, right from the initial requirement for construction equipment, through to regular service and maintenance, and training for operators.
This expansion demonstrates our commitment to growth and innovation and will help us to further solidify our position as a leading supplier of construction equipment in the UK.
