RLS Partners is rebranding as CORE X Partners, a move that reflects CORE X Partners’ commitment to innovation, growth and delivering unparalleled service to its cold storage and logistics customers across North America.

“I am pleased to have been a part of a successful business rooted in family values and service. To sustain its explosive growth, RLS Partners has built its own operating team and has been rebranded as CORE X Partners while RLS Logistics will continue to be owned and operated by the Leo family,” says Russell Leo, CEO of RLS Logistics.

"CORE X Partners is the perfect brand for the unique model that we’ve developed for the industry," says Ken Johnson, president. "It represents our commitment to growth for family-owned and entrepreneurial cold storage operators and their customers."
