The Story of RAM: How Reliant’s Past Spells Success for Your Future
Founded in 2010 by brothers and business partners Michael and Barry Roman, Reliant Asset Management is the culmination of over thirty years hard work, perseverance, and experience in the modular construction industry. Building off of the success of their previous modular construction financing company Resun leasing, Inc., the Roman brothers initially created RAM to provide modular buildings and workforce housing for an array of professional needs. In the recent past, they have expanded the company’s reach by acquiring a number of subsidiaries – including Class Leasing Inc. which serves the education sector in California.
“The future of the RAM family of companies is extremely bright.” explains co-founder and Vice President Michael Roman. “The education and commercial sectors are strong. RAM is rapidly moving from a third party finance company to a powerhouse lease originator and remarketer. We are redeploying assets returned from initial operating leases and realizing very solid values.” Indeed, RAM’s push into newer sectors including education and leasing has allowed to company to adapt and thrive, even during tumultuous economic conditions.
Roman goes on to say that, “we are focusing on systems development and refining work processes and procedures so that when energy does come back, and it will, we will be positioned to capitalize on the next phase of hyper-growth.” While oil and energy may not be having the best year, you can rest assured that Reliant Asset Management is in the best possible position to capitalize on the industry’s inevitable bounce-back. In the meantime, RAM’s rapidly diversifying portfolio shows strong returns for this relatively young company.
“The success of the RAM companies is the direct result of the collective efforts of a highly skilled and dedicated team of professionals working toward a common goal.” With RAM on your team, it’s hard to see your future as anything but bright.







Despite this fact, the best of humanity rises up as RAM Modular and a host of other modular building companies opened up their camps to help displaced evacuees and emergency workers including RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police), medical personnel, and the courageous firefighters battling the inferno dubbed “The Beast” due to it’s unparalleled ferocity.
RAM Modular (and subsidiary Aries Building Systems), known for modular workforce housing and mobile solutions, made 400 accommodations available at their Wandering River camp in Alberta and Monias Lodge located near Conklin. In a dire circumstance when the small towns surrounding Alberta were running out of fuel, and general community resources were trying to get back up and running, having immediate food and shelter for those affected was the only focus. “We made a collective decision with the camp operator to bring in extra staff and make sure people had hot meals and a comfortable place to sleep,” adds Benedict.
