Rymco
Historical Background
Originally launched to deal with general merchandising, the Rasamny brothers founded Rasamny Brothers Inc. in the Liberian Republic in 1934. The family owned and operated a large business conglomerate that included representation of brands such as Chrysler, Ford and Honda in the automotive industry in addition to Palmolive, Colgate and other brands.
In 1957, the Rasamny brothers went on to expand their business and opened the first showroom and back-offices under the umbrella of Rasamny Younis Motor Co. (RYMCO) in Beirut and launched their operations as exclusive dealers of Oldsmobile and GMC. As a strategic move to grow the company, in 1964 RYMCO built up its own showrooms, back-offices and after-sales facility in Chiah and added the Australian brand, Holden, to the company portfolio.
Three years later, RYMCO introduced the first DATSUN to the Lebanese market constituting a major turning point in the company's profile. Unfortunately, the Lebanese war left the Chiah facilities in complete ruin and forced RYMCO to move from the location to Deir Koubel at first and then to Choueifat, where a showroom and a service facility were set up to cater to customer’s needs.
In 1985, after the Israeli invasion, RYMCO was once again forced to move. This time the move saw them relocate from Choueifat to Hamra Street and then to Jal El Baher, which later became an official RYMCO branch.
After 1991's ceasefire, RYMCO re-launched its operations from Chiah where the showrooms, the after-sales facility and company offices saw a complete restoration. By 1992, RYMCO proudly participated with Nissan and GMC in the nation's first ever Motor Show.
After 41 years of being a privately owned institution, RYMCO went public in 1998 to become the first and only automotive dealer to be listed in Beirut Stock Exchange list.
The Chiyah showroom was given a complete renovation in 2003, where the re-opening took place in the
