Global Foundation

Headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, RTI Group, LLC was founded in 2003 as a forensic engineering services company, with its origins dating back to 1975 by the founder of FTI Consulting, Inc.  Anamet Inc., a forensic materials testing laboratory in San Francisco, California became a vital asset to RTI in 2003.  In 2004, RTI founded its London office, RTI Ltd., as a wholly owned UK subsidiary that is the home office of the Aviation and Marine Departments.  RTI Latin America was established in 2008 in Panama City, Panama as an extension of the London office to serve Latin America and, in particular, the Panamanian Flag State and Canal Operations.  RTI opened its Bahrain branch office in April of 2011 to provide security and safety services, as well as access to other RTI disciplines in the Gulf and Middle East region.  We continue to expand our worldwide range of analytical capabilities and services to other parts of the globe.
