Our Milestones
Our Success Journey Since 2006
Establishment and Initial Ventures
Established officially in 2006, Riva Engineering set out with a vision of expertise in the healthcare and environmental sectors. By implementing a 6-hour technical service revolution for hemodialysis machines in the Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia regions, the company simultaneously launched its first hospital operations in the Black Sea and Central Anatolia regions. During the same period, the company expanded its service portfolio by incorporating wastewater, residential, and industrial water treatment systems, thereby strengthening its sectoral diversity.
2006
The First Hemodialysis Maintenance & Repair
The first hemodialysis maintenance and repair services were carried out at the Ahlat District State Hospital in Bitlis. Within this scope, the maintenance and repair of the hospital's water system were also completed. This step contributed to strengthening the regional healthcare infrastructure and enabling patients to receive higher-quality services.
2007
Corporate Projects and Regional Infrastructure Initiative
In 2008, Riva successfully completed water system maintenance and repair projects for major institutions such as Van 100. Yıl University and Yüksek İhtisas Training and Research Hospital. During the same period, specially designed package treatment systems were implemented for residential areas of 1,000–2,000 people in the Eastern Anatolia region that lacked drinking water infrastructure. Through these projects, technical security was provided to academic healthcare units, while the local population’s access to clean water was facilitated under the assurance of Riva.
2008
International Standards and Central Anatolia Headquarters
The new Central Anatolia headquarters was inaugurated following the acquisition of the TSE Ankara 12426 HYB (Maintenance and Repair for Hemodialysis Water Systems), 13843 Drinking Water Standards certification, and comprehensive ISO/OHSAS certifications. This step underscores the measures taken to ensure the quality and reliability of hemodialysis water systems, while demonstrating compliance with drinking water standards and a commitment to international quality, occupational health, and safety standards.
2009
The First Domestic Production and Sectoral Debut
In 2010, Riva Engineering became a technology-producing brand by manufacturing its first in-house designed water treatment system. This first domestically produced device was presented to industry professionals as a hemodialysis water system at the 26th National Nephrology Congress. During the same period, the 15 m³/h capacity modern package treatment system established for the Van Regional Directorate of Highways once again proved the company's technical competence in large-scale corporate projects.
2010
Strategic Transformation and the New Era in Ankara
In 2011, following the regulatory changes introduced by the Ministry of Health requiring CE marking compliance, Riva revised its manufacturing strategies and permanently relocated its operational headquarters to Ankara. With the establishment of its first official facility in the Gaziosmanpaşa (GOP) district, the company strengthened its corporate identity while gaining closer access to regulatory processes and greater control over its nationwide service network. This relocation marked the beginning of Riva’s transformation from a national force into a global brand.
2011
Regional Projects and Operational Scaling
In 2012, Riva completed the installation of a water treatment system for a slaughterhouse facility in Kars. During the same period, by expanding its technical service operations, the company carried out periodic maintenance and repair services for water systems connected to approximately 300 hemodialysis machines. This process demonstrated the company’s capacity to provide simultaneous technical support to healthcare institutions with extensive equipment fleets.

This certification officially formalized the reliability of Riva’s technology according to European standards.
2018
Global Expansion, Dealership System, and Operational Leap
In 2019, Riva entered the global market by completing its first export operation and further strengthened its corporate structure through the acquisition of its current headquarters. Carrying the responsibility of being Türkiye’s only domestic manufacturer in its field, the company provided 24/7 mobile system support for intensive care units and increased its service capacity fourfold within a short period. By establishing its first dealership network in Gaziantep and undertaking high-capacity projects such as the Afyon Bolvadin Prison facility with a 35 m³/h capacity, Riva significantly expanded its operational reach. During the pandemic period, the company also ensured uninterrupted technical support and operational continuity for critical healthcare units.
2019
Global Health Export and Mediterranean Dealership Network
In 2020, Riva launched its first major export initiative in hemodialysis water treatment systems, introducing its medical technologies to the global market. Alongside this strategic step aimed at increasing access to healthcare services on a global scale, the domestic service network was further strengthened through a dealership system established with Petekkan Medikal in the Mediterranean region. This process symbolized Riva’s transition into a new era in both global trade and local service structuring.
2020
Revolution in Production Capacity and New Factory Investment
In 2021, Riva initiated the construction process by acquiring a 5,000-square-meter modern production facility in Kahramankazan. In addition to this major investment aimed at increasing production capacity and product diversity, the company implemented a comprehensive water treatment project for the Kırşehir Penal Execution Institution, featuring an 80 m³/h capacity and incorporating reverse osmosis and remineralization technologies. During the same period, the regional service network was brought to a more professional structure through a new dealership collaboration established with Adamed Engineering in the Central Anatolia region.

International Recognition and the Tunisia Ministry Project
In 2022, Riva expanded its global network through a dealership agreement with the TMT firm in Tunisia and successfully completed the manufacturing and installation of 19 'Double Pass' hemodialysis water treatment systems for the Tunisian Ministry of Health. During the same period, international accreditation was achieved with the official recognition of the RIVAMED brand by the Nephrology Units of the Ethiopian Ministry of Health. Domestically, regional service capacity was enhanced through a dealership collaboration established with Diaser Health Services in the Aegean Region.
2022
Global Congress Participation and Intercontinental Service Network
In 2023, Riva showcased its technological solutions on the international stage by participating in the 61st ERA Nephrology Congress held in Milan, Italy. To meet the need for safe water in the earthquake zone, the company implemented a container-type water treatment system for the Hatay Penal Execution Institution, while simultaneously completing an SBR wastewater treatment project with a capacity of 40 m³/day in Iraq. Expanding its global network to an intercontinental scale with dealerships in Ethiopia and Southern Africa (Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana), Riva also strengthened its domestic dealership structure in the Marmara Region through a partnership with CYSE Medikal.
