Founded in 1949 the company began making components for water control valves. In the first of what would be many actions to drive the industry forward, RMC recognised the opportunity to revolutionise water heating. Through a dramatic change in control mechanisms, RMC pioneered the move to pressurised water heating systems in Australia. Despite resistance to these advancements, they ultimately became accepted as industry standard through the unprecedented level of performance, reliability and dependability that the new controls offered. These qualities remain at the heart of today's Reliance Worldwide.

Originally specializing in the design and manufacture of valves for the control of pressure, temperature and flow used in the installation of water heaters and water heating systems. RWC has introduced many industry firsts, such as tempering and thermostatic mixing valves, pressure limiting valves and other products. Their many global brands such as SharkBite, Heat Guard, Cash Acme, TubeFit and Auspex are just some of their success stories.

Maintaining leadership in this field, RWC has diversified its interests and now offers a total package of water control products and services for domestic and industrial application, together with general plumbing solutions.

RWC proudly adheres to global industry standards and the company markets its products on a world platform, maintaining manufacturing and distribution in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Africa, France, United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
