Houston, TX — HARBO Inc., a leader in rapid-deployment oil spill containment and autonomous environmental response solutions, is proud to announce its official collaboration with the Rapid Response Group (RRG), a national network of specialized environmental and emergency response providers.

This partnership marks a significant step forward in advancing a more integrated, technology-driven approach to environmental incident response across the United States and beyond.

HARBO Inc. brings to the Rapid Response Group a suite of cutting-edge solutions designed to address one of the industry’s most critical gaps: immediate, effective first response. At the core of HARBO’s offering is its ultra-compact, rapid-deployment containment boom, engineered for fast action by minimal personnel, alongside a growing portfolio of autonomous and remotely operated systems.

Through collaborations with leading autonomous platform providers, HARBO enables deployment of containment systems using unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), significantly reducing response times, manpower requirements, and operational risk in challenging environments.

“Joining the Rapid Response Group aligns perfectly with our vision of transforming HARBO into a true environmental solutions company,” said Igor Kwiatkowski, CEO of HARBO Inc. “We are not just delivering products — we are delivering capability. By combining HARBO’s rapid-response technology and autonomous systems with RRG’s nationwide coordination and execution network, we are creating a more effective, scalable model for environmental response.”

The Rapid Response Group is redefining how incidents are managed by integrating real-time coordination, digital command systems, and a nationwide network of specialized responders. This model shifts the industry from a traditionally reactive approach to a proactive, coordinated response framework.

HARBO’s technology enhances this model by enabling immediate containment and field action within the critical early stages of an incident. When paired with RRG’s coordination layer — including virtual emergency operations centers and real-time situational awareness tools — the result is a seamless connection between planning, decision-making, and execution.

Together, HARBO and RRG will deliver:

• Faster time to containment through rapid-deployment and autonomous systems

• Reduced reliance on heavy equipment and large field crews

• Enhanced situational awareness through integrated digital coordination

• Scalable, nationwide response capabilities across multiple industries

• A unified environmental solutions model combining technology, coordination, and execution

This collaboration also opens the door for joint deployment of HARBO systems across RRG’s extensive client network, including industrial facilities, ports, energy infrastructure, and environmental service providers.

As part of the partnership, HARBO Inc. will be featured as a key technology provider within the Rapid Response Group ecosystem, supporting both immediate response operations and longer-term digital facility and preparedness initiatives.

“This is about building a network of capabilities — not convenience,” added Kwiatkowski. “By aligning the right technologies with the right operational partners, we can materially improve outcomes for our clients, reduce environmental impact, and set a new standard for how incidents are managed globally.”
