The company started production in 1979. It was named IMUAS - Intreprinderea de Maşini-Unelte, Accesorii şi Scule (Entreprise of Machine-Tools, Accessories and Tools). For the foreigner partners, the company was known as RAMIRA.
In the early 90's, RAMIRA was still owned by the Romanian government. Due to the unsuccessful management and due to the decreasing economies of the ex-socialist countries in the Central and Eastern Europe, the company slowed down its activities and in 1997 it has been proposed for closing by the government. As of 2000, the company had less than 100 employees, compared to more than 2000 in 1990 and it accumulated huge debts. In 2000, RAMIRA was acquired by a private local company (Izoterom). The new owner started a comprehensive investment program and turned to profit in 2006. In 2007 it had almost 400 employees.
