The partnership between northAmerican® and RPM formed in December 2014 when RPM elected northAmerican as their official moving company. northAmerican was trusted with all logistical assistance, preparation, packing and moving relocation services from RPM’s old facility in Concord, NC to their new race shop in Mooresville, NC. Moving a large motorsport company is not a small job. northAmerican was trusted with everything from RPM’s office supplies to their highly coveted trophies. They were responsible for all of the tires, car parts, trailers and cars. Due to northAmerican’s experience and exemplary customer service, they were able to far exceed RPM’s expectations, and a mutual confidence was solidified in the new partnership.
