RDT celebrates 18 years as a benchmark in advanced engineering, highlighting the importance of its team, its sustained growth and its business diversification. The key to RDT’s success has been to focus on continuous improvement without comparing itself to others, achieving an annual growth of 18%. At a time of corporate consolidation, the RDT team now numbers 1800 people. “The first and most important thing is that the image we project to the outside world is consistent with what we really are inside the company: agile, humble, transformers and hard-working people,” says Benjamin Rosende, CEO and founder.   RDT celebrates its eighteenth anniversary consolidated as a benchmark in the development of advanced engineering projects. Since its beginnings in 2006, people have always been the main value of a company that started as a small engineering company and has been growing for almost two decades thanks to the dedication of the people who are part of its trajectory and business diversification. RDT is today a corporation capable of providing innovative and tailor-made solutions in engineering, industrial asset management, digital transformation, industry 4.0, photonics and electronics, numerical simulation and BIM and industrial design. Behind RDT, there are more than 1800 people making it possible for engineering to transform the world. Benjamín Rosende, CEO and founder of RDT, makes a small balance of the company’s trajectory, closely linked to his own path and experience these almost two decades and offers some keys in the future of the firm.   We are already in the middle of the 18th anniversary, how do you feel looking back and seeing all that has been achieved? I feel immensely fortunate to be able to surround myself with such a talented and committed team, whose effort and dedication are the foundation of our success. I am deeply grateful to have clients who not only value our work, but also trust us and drive us to keep improving every day. In addition, I feel enormously loved and supported by my family, who are already actively working for the future of the next generation. It is a privilege to have this support and to be part of this constant growth, both professionally and personally.   If we exclude the COVID period, RDT has experienced an average annual growth of 18% since its inception. What have been the key factors behind these figures? The first key factor is not to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others or wasting time observing how others are doing, as this only distracts you from your true purpose. Instead, it is essential to focus on improving every day, on surpassing your own expectations and limits. The real competition is always with yourself. Probably, if we had set a growth goal of this magnitude from the beginning, we might not have achieved it, either because of pressure, unrealistic expectations or external comparisons. However, by focusing on a process of continuous improvement, without obsessing about numbers or what is going on around us, we have been able to overcome our own barriers and achieve growth that might otherwise have seemed unattainable.   “The first major achievement was to develop a sustainable business model without relying on external financing outside the banking system. This has given us the freedom to be masters of our own destiny and make decisions with full autonomy.”   Today, RDT has 1,800 employees. What has been the challenge of growing so quickly without losing the values of commitment and closeness? The most important thing for the culture we have created is to lead by example, demonstrating in every action a true vocation for service and a deep respect for both our colleagues and our clients. This leadership is not only about leading, but also about being at the service of others, supporting and collaborating with them in a genuine way. Furthermore, our culture is based on providing constant value, arising from expert knowledge, continuous innovation and, above all, transparency in everything we do. These principles guide us, allowing trust and mutual respect to remain at the heart of our working relationships. When these values are firmly established, everything else flows naturally.     What has been the biggest challenge the company has faced? The biggest challenge we faced as a company was in the early years, when the environment was extremely hostile. It was not only about generating profits to stay afloat, but also about securing strong liquidity to survive. In those days, there were powerful interests with large financial resources and a clear intention to eliminate us from the market. It was a constant struggle, where every decision was crucial for our survival. At some point, when I find the right time, I will write what will surely be the best crime novel about management, convinced that this story, when it sees the light of day, will make us more viral and visible. That time will come.   Over the past 18 years, what have been RDT’s major milestones? The first major achievement was to develop a sustainable business model without relying on external financing outside the banking system. This has given us the freedom to be masters of our own destiny and to make decisions with full autonomy. The second milestone was internationalisation, a challenge in which we had to adapt our model, as what works in Spain is not always replicated in other countries. We adapted and managed to maintain the same entrepreneurial spirit that characterises us. The third milestone is the one we are now reaching with the creation of a solid corporate structure, which will provide us with the necessary foundations for more stable and robust long-term growth. Finally, the fourth milestone will be my succession and the creation of the family council, a process that is still in its early stages, but which will be key to ensuring continuity and legacy in the future.   “The truth is that we are far from that, we still have a long way to go before we

  RDT oversaw the lighting commissioning for Primark’s new flagship shop in Conde de Peñalver, Madrid. RDT has been working for more than five years on lighting projects for all Primark shops nationwide. For this project, RDT worked with iGuzzini luminaires, which stand out for their quality and innovative contribution. In the vibrant area of Conde de Peñalver, Madrid (Spain), stands Primark’s new flagship shop, a space that stands out not only for its innovative design but also for its meticulous lighting. This sophisticated area of the project has been entrusted to RDT, an integrated engineering solutions corporation with an extensive track record in lighting projects. This wasn’t RDT’s first project for the textile giant, as RDT has been leading the lighting commissioning for all Primark shops in Spain for more than 5 years. The task of commissioning, checking and orienting the lighting in all areas of the shop, is essential to guarantee the quality and coherence of the shopping experience and has been a constant in all of RDT’s projects with Primark, whether in flagship shops or in smaller establishments where it has also worked. Álvaro Coello, RDT’s project manager, comments: ‘This project at Conde de Peñalver has been particularly exciting for us. Working in a flagship shop always presents unique challenges, but our team is trained and approved in Primark’s brand image, which allowed us to meet the high standards expected. Having only two days to complete commissioning, often between boxes of merchandise, challenged and pushed us to be even more efficient and accurate.’ RDT’s precision and professionalism were crucial in meeting these demands and ensuring that the shop presented a welcoming and attractive environment for customers from day one.   High CRI quality luminaires An outstanding feature of the work carried out by RDT is the use of high-quality luminaires with a high colour rendering index (CRI) by iGuzzini, a well-known lighting brand with over 60 years of experience and a strong innovative character and a strong commitment to the development of lighting culture. The use of these luminaires from the Italian company allows for an accurate and vibrant representation of colours. This is especially important in a fashion shop, where the correct visualisation of the colours of the garments is essential for customers. In addition, the control of the light beam has been optimised to highlight the products and create the right atmosphere in each section of the shop.   Customer experience Retail lighting is not only a technical issue, but also an integral part of visual marketing. The right lighting not only enhances products, but also influences the experience and behaviour of customers, creating an ambience that can encourage sales and enhance the shopping experience. In this respect, RDT’s work has been crucial in helping Primark to deliver an engaging and consistent shopping experience across all of its shops. This project is a testament to RDT’s ability to tackle complex challenges and meet the high standards of its clients. RDT’s reliability, cross-cutting vision and precision have been instrumental in creating unique spaces, contributing to the success of one of the world’s most recognised fashion brands. Over the years, RDT’s Centre of Excellence in BIM, Design & Lighting has gained vast experience and knowledge in the field of commercial lighting, adapting to the demanding standards of international brands such as Primark. The challenges posed by this flagship store are an example of RDT’s commitment to excellence and innovation, aspects which have been key to the success of the projects carried out.   About RDT RDT is an innovative corporation whose field of activity is the development of advanced engineering projects, participating in projects with a high technological component where it provides flexibility in the outsourcing strategy of large companies.
