CMB RVM Solutions
Locally Engineered. Globally Inspired. Purpose-Built for the UK.

A Powerful Partnership
We’re a joint initiative between:
- CMB Engineering (UK)

Together, we bring 150+ years of engineering heritage and 20+ years of RVM expertise to deliver high-performance solutions tailored for the UK Deposit Return Scheme (DRS).
Our Mission
