Rb Global, Inc
A maker of online and in-person auctions for heavy equipment and vehicles, RB Global runs one of the world's largest marketplaces where construction machinery, trucks, and used cars change hands. It was born in 1958 when three Canadian brothers—Ken, John, and Dave Ritchie—held an auction to pay off the bank note on their family furniture store, then kept at it every Thursday night. In 2023 the company, long known as Ritchie Bros., bought the salvage-car auction firm IAA and rebranded as RB Global.
