What RSB Logistic Inc. does

RSB Logistic Inc. is a Saskatoon-headquartered, privately held specialist freight forwarder and wholly-owned subsidiary of CLI Group, operating in the nuclear fuel cycle logistics market since 1980. The company manages end-to-end project forwarding for dangerous goods, with a core specialization in Class 7 radioactive materials transported across the front-end nuclear fuel cycle. Operations are delivered through a four-entity corporate structure covering Germany (RSB LOGISTIC Projektspedition GmbH in Cologne, with a Hamburg branch), France (Pierrelatte), Canada (RSB INT'L Freight Forwarding Inc. in Montreal alongside the Saskatoon headquarters), and the United States (RSB LOGISTIC Services Inc. in Paducah, Kentucky).

The technology and asset base combine multi-modal transport coordination (sea, road, rail, air) with company-operated physical infrastructure: an own trucking fleet in Canada and the United States, and (via parent CLI Group) the motor vessel CLI PRIDE running a transatlantic pendulum service between Canada and Europe since 2018. Services are delivered under ISO 9001:2015 quality management and ISO/IEC 27001 information security certifications, and span freight forwarding, dedicated nuclear transport, international logistics, logistics consulting (legal compliance, permit applications, transport security), maritime services, and quality/com compliance. RSB ranks among global leading providers in the sensitive goods segment.

The business model is enterprise B2B with direct field sales, quote-based project pricing, and transaction-fee revenue per shipment supplemented by professional services for consulting. Customers are concentrated in the nuclear fuel cycle industry (converters, enrichers, fuel fabricators) and adjacent sensitive/project cargo shippers. There are no disclosed revenue figures, headcount, or named customer logos, and no public funding, M&A, or IPO activity is recorded. The leadership team is small and named (George Eckel, President; Johanne Johnson, Director Finance & Administration; Brent Davies, Director Business Development), with the German entity represented by Marc Schweiger, Stefan Hoeft, and Michael Müller.
