About RUF, Inc.

Renaissance Universal Fabrication, Inc. is located south of Douglas, Wyoming where the High Plains meet the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.  The company was founded by Darrin Fink, a native of Baltimore, MD.  Darrin moved to Wyoming in1989 to manage an agricultural operation; that endeavor required him to learn numerous things about survival in a very primitive area.

He was immediately responsible for repairs and improvements to many mechanical processes and agricultural/vehicular equipment.  Quickly, he discovered the necessity for self-sufficiency in a harsh environment where Mother Nature seldom cooperates.

Darrin has designed and fabricated a diverse range of items, from cattle handling equipment to firefighting vehicles and Unimog-based expedition campers.  He also drafted and constructed an ultra-efficient earth-bermed passive and active solar home, an earth-bermed greenhouse, numerous hydroponic growth systems, and the RUF, Inc. workshop.  At Renaissance Universal Fabrication, Inc., we enjoy mechanical problem-solving, and love to meet and beat new challenges. 

The RUF, Inc. logo (below) exemplifies the design philosophy of the business.  The letters surrounding the abbreviated company name (pronounced "roof" or simply the letters "RUF") represent the Law of Seven Ps: Previous Proper Planning Prevents Pathetically Poor Performance.  Products and services offered by RUF, Inc. are engineered and constructed for longevity - quite uncommon in this time of disposable goods.
