Axxel led the structuring of the transition, placed the financing, and made this project a reality. “Donald's ambition to ensure that the company remains in the hands of the team that has been at his side to build RB&C and make it the benchmark company in railroad maintenance instead of divesting to outsiders has been a crucial element for the success of this transaction,” said Jean-Michel Zakhour, Managing Partner at Axxel. “The future of RB&C in the hands of Daniel Montigny, Dany Cassivi, Johnny Cassivi, and André Cassivi is very promising. The company remains under Quebec control and combines perfectly as a market leader with family business values.”
‘’In recent years, RB&C has become a major player in the maintenance of railways. This accomplishment was in large part due to my dedication and determination to succeed in the management team. The acquisition by them of RB&C was the logical sequence following all their efforts and their involvement in the company”, affirms Mr. Donald Cassivi. ''The services provided by Axxel in this acquisition process were crucial to the success of the transaction. Always attentive and present at all times, they greatly facilitated all stages of the process,'' added Mr. Cassivi.

We are confident that our commitment, expertise and market knowledge will greatly help us succeed in our quest to grow the company and develop and expand its services. We would like to thank Mr. Donald Cassivi for his confidence in our ability to keep the name of RB&C as a reference in the maintenance of railways and to ensure its success. Finally, we thank the Axxel team for their professionalism, support and expertise. We are convinced that without their presence, this transaction could have been much more complicated.'' stated the management team of RB&C.
