It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich AG, the fifth-largest bank in Austria, and operates as Upper Austria's largest industrial insurance broker, ranking among the Top 5 in Austria. The firm serves approximately 2,500 corporate clients across industrial manufacturing, food and beverage, logistics, tourism, aerospace, and institutional housing, with a managed premium volume of approximately €165 million.

The company's core offering is full-service industrial insurance brokerage across property, business interruption, D&O, cyber, business liability, transport, commercial, international programs, fleet, credit, project, and company-pension lines. Its proprietary technology asset is iClaim, a web-based software platform that handles mass contracts in housing and transport, providing electronic claims management, structured document administration, contract portfolio overview, damage reporting with processing status, and on-demand claims-controlling reporting. International program capability is delivered through membership in the UNIBA network of 72 broker firms across 130 countries, supplemented by strategic partnerships with German (Dr. Friedrich E.

RVM earns revenue via brokerage commissions on placed insurance premiums, with pricing negotiated individually per client risk profile. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales through the three regional offices and named account managers. The firm is GISA-registered as a Versicherungsmakler and Versicherungsberater, holds the ÖVM-Gütesiegel quality certification, and has been certified to ISO 50001 for energy management through 2028. Growth has been pursued through M&A — most recently the May 2025 full acquisition of HDW Versicherungsmakler GmbH — alongside organic specialist buildout in cyber, D&O, and NIS-2/NISG 2026 advisory.

Broad incumbents

• Lockton: Lockton is the world's largest independent insurance broker.

• Marsch & McLennan (Marsh): Marsh is the world's largest insurance broker and risk advisor.
