Acquisition Enhances Cyber and Risk Solutions

ABS Consulting, a subsidiary of ABS, announced the acquisition of RMC Global, a leader in industrial cybersecurity and risk management solutions. This strategic move aims to bolster ABS Consulting's capabilities in managing cyber risk and resilience to meet increasing client demands.

The acquisition merges the strengths of both companies, offering more integrated solutions to clients facing complex risk environments. ABS Consulting's mission is to enhance operational safety and resilience, making this a pivotal step in achieving those goals.

John McDonald, Chairman and CEO of ABS, stated, "Clients are facing increasing operational risk, cyber threats, and regulatory pressure. 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."

The acquisition brings together two organisations with complementary expertise, shared values, and a common mission. RMC’s capabilities combined with ABS Consulting’s scale, technical depth, and global resources unlock more integrated solutions for clients.

Shared Mission and Values

RMC Global focuses on critical infrastructure protection and industrial cybersecurity. This focus complements ABS Consulting’s dedication to safeguarding people and assets globally, reinforcing a shared culture and mission.

David Wechsler, CEO of ABS Consulting, commented on the acquisition: "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."

RMC President Vince Kuchar emphasised the strategic fit, saying, "What brought our organisations 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."

ABS, a global leader in classification services, has been setting standards for safety and excellence for over 160 years. It continues to focus on delivering a safer, cleaner future for the marine and offshore industries.

The acquisition is expected to deliver stronger, more integrated solutions for clients, particularly in increasingly complex risk environments. The integration aims to enhance the operational safety and resilience of clients, aligning with ABS Consulting's long-term objectives.
