What RPS does

RPS d.o.o., operating under the Slovenian tagline "Delavnica nemogoče" (Workshop of the Impossible), is a Ljubljana-headquartered multidisciplinary fabrication and design studio founded in 1991. The company integrates digital manufacturing technologies — 3D printing, CNC milling, laser cutting and engraving, CAD/CAM design, and 2D/3D scanning — with traditional craftsmanship to deliver custom physical products across six service pillars: advertising displays (illuminated signs, vehicle wraps, point-of-sale), interior and exterior outfitting, exhibition and museum installations, small-batch production (prototypes, replicas, scale models, castings, awards, molds), specialized technical services (reverse engineering, digital printing, self-adhesive films), and multimedia/interactive installations (immersive experience spaces, interactive applications). With 11–50 employees, RPS operates a single facility in Ljubljana serving as both headquarters and main workshop.

RPS serves an enterprise and institutional client base that spans major Slovenian corporations (Gorenje, Mercator, Krka, Telekom Slovenije, BMW, Jägermeister via G3 Spirits), government bodies (Slovenian Ministry of Culture, Municipality of Ljubljana), and cultural institutions (National Museum of Slovenia, Museum of Modern Art Ljubljana, Ljubljana Castle, Royal Museums of Fine Arts Belgium). The company runs a sales-led, project-based B2B model with no standardized pricing — every engagement is a bespoke quote based on client specifications. Notable international projects include Slovenia's national pavilion at Expo Shanghai, the Slovenian pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016, the Jože Plečnik exhibition at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels, and ongoing trade show booth construction for Gorenje at IFA Berlin, demonstrating execution capability across Germany, Belgium, Croatia, and East Asia.

Revenue is generated through professional services contracts across diverse verticals, with no publicly disclosed revenue, no funding rounds, no institutional investment, and no public listing. The company claims 100+ named clients across Slovenia and international markets. Go-to-market is direct B2B engagement driven by the website portfolio (rps.si), Facebook and Instagram presence, and industry referrals within Slovenia's design, advertising, and cultural communities. RPS is privately held with no disclosed parent or subsidiary structure.

Note on source data: the firmographics header describes RPS as a software company offering "business process automation, document management, and digital transformation services," but this is inconsistent with the detailed company description, product portfolio, technology stack, and customer portfolio across all other sources, which uniformly describe a physical fabrication and design workshop. The analysis above is grounded in the corroborating detailed data.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• GES (Global Experience Specialists): One of the world's largest exhibit and event services companies, providing custom exhibit fabrication, signage, and event logistics. A broader incumbent in the same custom fabrication/exhibit space as RPS, but operating at much larger scale with global infrastructure.
• GL events: French-headquartered global events and exhibitions services group with exhibit fabrication, signage, and event infrastructure capabilities. A broad incumbent in RPS's category, particularly relevant as a European peer for cross-border project competition.
• Czarnowski: Established US exhibit, display, and event services firm offering custom fabrication, signage, and environment builds. Comparable to RPS as a fabrication-led exhibit house, but with a wider portfolio and North American footprint.
• Jack Morton Worldwide: Global brand experience agency that designs and builds experiential installations, exhibits, and immersive environments. Comparable to RPS's experiential/multimedia side (Doživljajski prostori, Multimedijske rešitve) and serves similar end-customers.
• George P. Johnson Experience Marketing: Global experiential marketing agency producing brand experiences, exhibits, and event environments. Overlaps with RPS's exhibition design and brand activation work, including the Gorenje IFA Berlin-style trade show booth builds.

Direct peers

• PICO Exhibits: North American provider of custom exhibit design, fabrication, and installation services. Overlaps with RPS's trade show booth and exhibition build capabilities (e.g., Sejemske postavitve) and follows a similar project-based custom fabrication model.
• MC2: US exhibit and event marketing company that designs, fabricates, and installs custom exhibits, environments, and brand experiences. Closely comparable to RPS as a bespoke exhibit/experience builder, though serving larger North American brands.
• Sparks: US-based custom exhibit design and fabrication agency that blends physical fabrication with digital and multimedia experiences — a direct analogue of RPS's combined fabrication + multimedia + interactive model, but for the North American trade show market.
• Vipa Displays: Slovenia-based designer and manufacturer of POS displays, signage, and retail marketing fixtures. Operates in the same regional market as RPS with overlapping product categories (point-of-sale displays, illuminated signage, store equipment) and serves many of the same large Slovenian retail and corporate clients.

Emerging players

• Dornbracht Design Studio: Premium European design and fabrication studio creating bespoke installations, sculpture, and architectural objects. Comparable to RPS's "Workshop of the Impossible" positioning around multidisciplinary custom fabrication and small-batch one-offs (Unikati).
