History

Welcome to the History of RBM Company, one of East Tennessee’s oldest and most respected provider of Petroleum and Industrial Equipment products and services.

RBM Company, organized in September 1945 by the late George W. Reed, Albert W. Bruce, and S.R. “Pete” Montgomery, opened for business at 423 Depot St. RBM Company was founded on the principle of selling quality lines and dedicated to the task of providing more and better services for oil bulk plants, service station operators, industrial users and many other customers.

In September 1958 as a result of steady growth, expanded services and space limitations, RBM Company moved to a much larger facility at 414 Willow Avenue with a marked improvement in efficiency. During the years at Willow Avenue there was continued growth in all areas of the Company which again brought about the need for larger facilities. In January of 1968, RBM Company moved into their new facility at 2700 Texas Avenue which was especially designed to meet the requirements peculiar to the needs of a petroleum equipment distributor and industrial environments. Our present facility, with 25,000 square feet under roof, adequate parking, plus several acres of storage and work area, has enabled us to provide important services for our many fine customers.

Since 1945 RBM Company has maintained a steady course of progress and has increased in all areas. Our staff of 20 dedicated employees supplied by over 300 of the finest manufacturers are thankful to you, the customer for your support through the years. We continue to ask for the opportunity to serve your needs in the future.
