RSB LOGISTIC Projektspedition GmbH

What RSB LOGISTIC Projektspedition GmbH does

RSB LOGISTIC Projektspedition GmbH is a privately held specialist freight forwarder headquartered in Cologne, Germany, operating as part of CLI Group. Founded in 1984, the company serves the front-end nuclear fuel cycle, transporting radioactive materials (Class 7 dangerous goods) and related sensitive commodities for nuclear facility operators, uranium processors, and fuel cycle suppliers. It ranks among global leading providers in the sensitive goods segment, with over 40 years of operating history. The customer base is concentrated in the nuclear industry vertical with a secondary dangerous goods shippers segment.

The company's service portfolio covers six core areas: Freight Forwarding (end-to-end multi-modal shipping by sea, road, rail, air), Nuclear Transport (front-end fuel cycle supply chain management including permits and compliance), International Logistics (multi-modal cross-border capability with owned trucking fleets in Canada and the USA), Logistics Consulting (regulatory and supply chain advisory for nuclear cargo), Maritime Services (single voyage charters, long-term tonnage, and the owned m/v 'CLI PRIDE' operating a Canada–Europe pendulum service since 2018), and Quality & Compliance (ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001 certified). No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; the technology stack emphasizes certified IT security (BSI IT-Grundschutz) rather than AI/digital differentiation.

Revenue is generated through quote-based project service fees, with charges for demurrage, waiting time, detention, chassis rent, and project-based professional services contracts that can span multiple years. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting nuclear operators directly, supported by dedicated branch offices in Cologne, Hamburg, Pierrelatte, Montreal (regional HQ), Saskatoon, and Paducah, plus wholly-owned subsidiaries in Canada (RSB INT'L Freight Forwarding Inc., RSB LOGISTIC Inc.) and the United States (RSB LOGISTIC Services Inc.). The company is led by Managing Directors Marc Schweiger, Stefan Hoeft, and Michael Müller.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Geodis: French-headquartered global freight forwarder with strong European dangerous goods and project cargo capabilities. Relevant broad-incumbent peer given French market overlap with RSB's Pierrelatte office and comparable multimodal forwarding service offering.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global freight forwarding and logistics giant with established dangerous goods capabilities across road, sea, and air. Represents a broad incumbent competitor with the scale and balance sheet to challenge RSB in nuclear fuel cycle freight, though without the same depth of specialization in Class 7 radioactive movements.
• DHL Global Forwarding: One of the world's largest freight forwarders with dangerous goods, life sciences and energy verticals serving industrial clients globally. Comparable as a logistics provider offering multimodal freight forwarding services, with nuclear/dangerous goods capability as one segment of a much broader portfolio.
• DSV: Global transport and logistics provider with significant dangerous goods and project cargo capabilities following its Schenker integration. A broad incumbent that competes with RSB in specialized freight forwarding, particularly for industrial and energy-sector customers.

Direct peers

• TransNucl: France-based nuclear transport specialist providing multimodal logistics services for radioactive materials across the nuclear fuel cycle. Directly comparable to RSB given geographic proximity to the Pierrelatte office and shared customer base in European front-end fuel cycle logistics.
• Nuclear Cargo + Service (NCS): German-based nuclear transport specialist offering freight forwarding and logistics services for the nuclear fuel cycle, including Class 7 radioactive materials. Closest direct competitor to RSB on European front-end fuel cycle shipments, with overlapping regulatory expertise and customer base.
• International Nuclear Services (INS): UK-based nuclear transport specialist owned by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, providing transport solutions for nuclear materials including fuel cycle and radioactive waste logistics. Comparable to RSB as a dedicated nuclear logistics provider with deep regulatory credentials and specialized fleet assets.
• Edlow International Company: US-headquartered nuclear transport specialist offering ocean, air, ground, and rail logistics for radioactive and other hazardous materials across the nuclear fuel cycle. Directly comparable to RSB in the front-end fuel cycle space, particularly for transatlantic and North American movements where RSB also operates.

Regional players

• BBC Chartering: German-headquartered project cargo and breakbulk shipping specialist operating a large fleet of multipurpose vessels worldwide. Comparable as a project cargo and heavy-lift ocean forwarder overlapping with RSB's maritime services and breakbulk forwarding, though BBC focuses on project cargo generally rather than radioactive materials specifically.

Emerging players

• DAHER Nuclear: French industrial group with a nuclear logistics division providing specialized transport, cask handling and engineering services for radioactive materials. Comparable to RSB in dangerous goods handling for nuclear clients, with a broader industrial base that provides additional scale advantages.
