The club ceased operations many times and was brought back to life again, most recently in 1992.
In the 1994–95 season, the club organised its structure of sections and in the 1999–2000 season, the club qualified to the 1.B handball league.
After qualification to the 1.B league, the club received a support form the local company Cimos d.d. and in just two seasons, by 2001–02, RK Cimos koper qualified to the Slovenian First League of Handball.
