ABS: RMC Global Acquisition Will Strengthen Capabilities

ABS (the American Bureau of Shipping), through its affiliate ABSG Consulting Inc., announced May 7 the acquisition of RMC Global, a leading provider of industrial cybersecurity, risk management and resiliency solutions.

“Clients are facing increasing operational risk, cyber threats and regulatory pressure,” ABS Chairman and CEO John McDonald said. “Bringing together the expertise of RMC and ABS Consulting strengthens our ability to deliver even greater value and support for our clients through comprehensive, integrated solutions.”

He highlighted that the acquisition is both a strategic and cultural fit.

“Both organizations are focused on work with real-world impact,” he said. “Both value expertise, practical problem-solving and long-term trust, and both are committed to helping protect critical systems, support resilience and solve complex challenges in environments where the stakes are high.”

ABS Consulting CEO David Wechsler said, “This acquisition builds on priority areas where we see sustained client demand and long-term growth opportunity. The combination strengthens our ability to support our customers’ evolving operational risk, cyber threats and regulatory demands while giving us a broader platform to deliver increasingly innovative solutions.”

RMC President Vince Kuchar said that what brought the organizations together is a shared culture, mission and purpose: delivering practical, trusted solutions that protect critical infrastructure and critical missions, enabling resilience in the face of growing risk.

“By joining ABS with its 164-year mission, we are better positioned to support our clients today and to adapt alongside them in the years ahead,” he said.
