RIF TRUST

RIF Trust is a company that provides consultancy services for those seeking Second Citizenship or Residency via investment or donation.

Obtaining a Second Nationality or a Permanent Residency is an efficient solution for people looking for a safer environment, for security, and high-quality healthcare and education. This solution is called ‘citizenship by investment’. A second passport will grant the flexibility and security that are so precious and essential in today’s world of controversy

Citizenship by investment programs come from the initiative of certain governments to encourage people with financial capability to invest in governmental bonds, local business, or real estate for the benefit of gaining citizenship. Acquiring a second passport has clear benefits for natives and residents of many countries. However, MENA region nationals have a more obvious need as the passport holders of these countries are often subject to travel restrictions, as well as limited healthcare and educational opportunities.

RIF TRUST provides A to Z services that relate to the topic of citizenship by investment with the finest lawyers and immigration experts guaranteeing a smooth and easy process, thanks to its strong relationships with the governmental bodies of the concerned countries.

ROCA

Over a hundred years of history to become a reference company worldwide, Roca began its activity as a company that made cast iron radiators for domestic heating at its factory in Gavà, near Barcelona. After these first radiators, the firm expanded its portfolio with the production of boilers. In 1929, Roca entered the bathroom space by starting the production of baths.
Always attentive to the changes in society related to water culture, the main natural resource Roca works with, the company assumed in 1936 the challenge of producing vitreous china bathroom appliances. After that, in 1954 Roca started the production of brassware.
In the 80s the Group developed a first step of international expansion, initially based on setting up commercial branches in France and Portugal, and in United Kingdom, Germany and Italy in the 90s, followed by acquisitions of local leading brands and the setting up new factories in Argentina, Morocco, Poland, Russia and China.
The turning point of the internationalization process took place in 1999, with the acquisition of the Swiss Keramik Holding Laufen, fourth global manufacturer in those days. The acquisition of Laufen allowed the Group to strengthen its position in strategic markets where the brand had less presence, such as Eastern Europe, Brazil and the USA.
In 2005 Roca announces an ambitious strategic plan focused on bathroom spaces, achieving the world leadership of the sector in 2006 with more recent acquisitions and commercial agreements in Malaysia, India, Egypt, Taiwan, Mexico and Australia.
