Driving the Automotive Supply Chain

RPM Freight Systems’s focus on unserved markets has led to eight consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000 list.

While RPM Freight Systems started in 2012 as a generalist freight brokerage, founder Barry Spilman and his team soon earned a new reputation: a company that could handle shipments other logistics providers could not.

After several years of growth, Spilman was ready to venture into new markets. So, in 2019, he brought in Sergio Gutierrez to launch RPM Europe as president of the new venture with headquarters in Amsterdam and operations in Gdarisk, Poland, and Hamburg, Germany. A year later, Spilman named Gutierrez CEO of RPM and in the years since, the two men successfully transitioned their roles, allowing Gutierrez to turn RPM into an international transportation and logistics powerhouse.

The company is now hyper-focused on finished vehicle logistics and specialized industrial freight transportation. RPM delivers thousands of freight loads per month and hundreds of thousands of vehicles per year. It's an honor to continue leading the organization forward, taking Barry’s initial vision and expanding upon it to take RPM even further,” Gutierrez says.
