R&M International is a private, family-owned and operated business, located in Fort Washington, PA. Founded in 1977, the company began its US operations when Denys Rawson decided to move his family to America, after transitioning the business from wool to synthetics and plastics over a period of 15 years.
Due to the high quality of service, efficiency, and standards, R&M International soon became a leading supplier of textiles, plastics, and recycling materials to the global community, servicing clients in over 40 countries.
Together, the Rawson family represents over 100 years of experience in the international trade in the textile and plastics industry.
