About Us
My name is Jim Zsebok and I'm the founder of RTZ Group. I was fortunate to have a very successful 30 year career beginning with publicly traded companies with many of them being very large with extraordinary executive training programs where I was surrounded by the best information systems money could buy and best business practices which had been perfected over time.
Imperial Chemicals (FTSE30: ICI)
3rd Largest Chemical Company in the World.
Siemens AG (DAX30: SIE)
Automotive
Caradon PLC (LSE:CRN.LN)
Sold to Honeywell in 2005
TRIAM Automotive (TSX:TRU)
Sold to Magna and Flex-N-Gate in 1998
When Flex-N-Gate buys TRIAM Automotive (Tecumseh, ON) it has 6 plants and revenues of approximately $200MM. In the 16 years that followed my colleagues and I grew Flex-N-Gate to $4.6 billion in revenue with 46 plants worldwide and catapulted the owner to #367 on the Forbes list. I often say it is easy to build a multi-billion dollar company when you have been immersed in them throughout your career.
I retired in 2015 and made some investments in some businesses but realized nobody cared more about my family's money than I did and my sons were still in university. Got a call from a friend making an investment in a consumer packaged goods company and got them out of special loans with their bank and basically got the bug and have been helping other entrepreneurs ever since. Global competition is fierce and we are forever keeping up to date with advancement in technology that will allow North American businesses to compete globally which I think makes us different than other business/financial advisors. Below is my resume if you want further information into my work experience, industry experience and investment experience.
