Here's a seatpost on UK eBay that's among other things, listed as a Rubis:

I have 4 Milremo badged seatposts that are almost identical except for longer milled flutes and Milremo pantographs. They are at least as good as Campys plus easier to adjust.

There used to be some chrome plated steel tubing seatposts with yellow Rubis stickers on them. They were made out of the same steel as Durifort tubing with a 0.8mm wall thickness and necked down with a rounded top. They were very light but you had to used them with an old fashioned seat clamp.

Scroll down to the 2nd picture and look under the seat:
