ATCO Ltd is pleased to announce the launch of Rümi, the newest member of the ATCO family of consumer brands. Rümi (pronounced “roomie”) is providing solutions for homeowners, by connecting them with trusted professionals. The innovative start-up offers home products including smart home tech, repair and maintenance services, in addition to a wealth of general home management advice.
Rümi joins trusted ATCO family members such as Blue Flame Kitchen, a longstanding culinary institution in Alberta, and energy retailer ATCOenergy – two businesses that have created some 200 jobs in Alberta in the past five years. Rümi itself is expected to create more than 200 new jobs in Alberta, and by partnering with local service providers, will also provide support to the province’s small business community at a crucial time in Alberta’s economic recovery.
“As a proud Alberta-built enterprise approaching its 75th anniversary, ATCO continues to look for innovative ways to grow, partner with businesses and communities, and enrich the lives of Albertans,” said Nancy Southern, Chair & Chief Executive Officer, ATCO. “Rümi is creating jobs and supporting local businesses, many of them family-run, at a time when the pandemic has devastated many industries. We are helping local companies not only weather the storm but begin to stabilize and grow again in this new and challenging economic environment.”
Rümi is continuously recruiting new service partners, all of which go through a rigorous vetting process to ensure they meet ATCO’s high standards of service and safety and align with the ATCO values of Integrity, Caring, Agility and Collaboration.
After a successful pilot, Rümi has now officially launched in Alberta with a wide range of interior and exterior home maintenance and repair services including:

To help celebrate the launch, Rümi is offering 500 Albertans an opportunity to receive a complimentary Happy Home Box, filled with items that make life a little easier around the home. To receive a box, Albertans can simply visit Rumi.ca/TakeBackYourSaturday and register. Boxes are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
