Our history
The company was founded by Bernhard Osnes, who is the father of Nils Olaf Osnes, who is still active today. Nils Olaf has worked in the company since the beginning and took over in 1995. He has over 50 years of experience.
| 1971 |
Our history dates back to 1971, when Rico produced furniture for motorhomes. Rico System was then called Rico Bilmøbler AS. This part of our history created our competence in optimizing the space in today's vans.
Rico has built over 4,000 camping vans and stopped this production in 2010. |
| 1995 |
In addition to motorhomes, we also focused exclusively on equipping vans with interior fittings for electricians and plumbers. In the beginning, we equipped them, as many still do today, using metal, aluminum, or plastic. It quickly became clear to us that we couldn’t create the best product on the market using these familiar materials, so we switched to specially developed waterproof plywood — which remains our core material to this day. We were far ahead of our time in terms of environmental responsibility and safety, and we continue to benefit from that foresight even today.
|
| 2000 |
In 2000, Rico got an agreement with NAV and built customized cars for people with disabilities. This became an independent company, which we called Rico Bilombygging. Through this company, lighting equipment, heaters and all kinds of technical equipment were also installed.
We kept the NAV agreement for 25 years, until we sold Rico Bilombygging to Alico Bilombygging in 2025, which continues with this agreement. |
| 2006 |
In 2006, Rico also started foiling cars to provide a complete car package. This evolved to include signs and decoration, and we called the department Rico Reklame. We merged this with Ravn Profil, which we sold to Ideko AS in 2023.
|
| 2008 |
Here we moved to our then new factory and switched to car scanning and automatic CNC milling.
|
| 2017 |
We brought in Danish X10 Growth Capital as a co-owner with the goal of further developing and internationalizing the company.
|
| 2020 |
We merged with Yrkesinnredning AS.
|
| 2023 |
We closed our own factory and outsourced production to a partner in Drammen.
|
| 2024 |
In 2024, we entered into a strategic partnership with Koskisen in Finland and their production unit KORE in Poland. They took over the entire production for us and built a 6,000 m² production hall. It is logistically very central - in the heart of Europe.
|
| 2025 |
A new management team is being established and intensive work is being done to increase efficiency, process optimization, international growth and improved profitability.
