Our Company
Who We Are
From a garage startup to an international name in rack repair, our story is built on solving real problems with smart engineering.
ROS International SA was founded with a clear purpose: to minimize costly warehouse downtime caused by pallet racking damage. Our mission? To make rack repairs faster, safer, and more cost-effective for facilities across the globe. At the core of this misson is ReForm, our patented ROS hydraulic repair system, a breakthrough solution that restores damaged uprights to their original shape within minutes, saving time, money and resources.
Where It All Began
The Journey started at IKEA’s distribution center in Oosterhout, Netherlands, where frequent forklift collisions led to costly rack replacements. In response , IKEA brought in Dutch structural engineer Hans Slavenburg, whose innovation would change the game. He developed a specialized hydraulic tool and repair method using a precision die and controlled pressure -laying the foundation for what would become the ReForm system
From Europe to South Africa
Originally built for IKEA, ReForm quickly gained traction in warehouses across Germany, France and beyond. Recognizing its broader potential, Charles Langeveld and Cullem McKay brought the solution to South Africa-delivering safer, faster rack repairs to businesses nationwide. Our list of satisfied clients continues to grow, thanks to our commitment to quality and efficiency.
