Josh Valman

Josh Valman, a prodigious figure in engineering and innovation, embarked on his extraordinary journey at the tender age of 10. A trailblazer from the start, he honed his skills on the sets of BBC’s Robot Wars, progressing from Lego constructions to collaborating with factories in the UK and China by the age of 13. At just 15, he found himself collaborating with global businesses, steering their manufacturing strategies and engineering designs.

However, at 17, Josh faced an unexpected twist when he was fired—his age unbeknownst to those benefiting from his multi-million dollar production strategies. Undeterred, he founded RPD International, a company bridging the gap between ideas and mass production. Over 12 successful years, RPD International became a global force, culminating in its acquisition and transformation into RPDK within the Kinara International manufacturing group in 2023.
