menuCOMPANY OVERVIEW
REI Automation pioneered mechanical segmentation of large radioactive components beginning in 1999 by partnering with MOTA Corporation, now Siempelkamp Nuclear Services. REI provided machine design and build services to create innovative machine tool designs that have become the standard in the nuclear decommissioning and dismantlement industry. In 2013, REI Automation and Technical Concepts, LLC have created a joint venture as REI Nuclear, LLC. REI Nuclear’s CEO, former MOTA Corporation President Ron Mencarelli, has created a team of nuclear industry experts to combine with the machine development expertise of REI Automation. REI Nuclear is the pioneer and most broadly-experienced mechanical segmentation company in the nuclear industry.
The Company will rely on the many years of experience and knowledge of its principal shareholders, management team and technical support staff to accomplish its goals. REI Nuclear’s founders and key support staff have direct experience in the founding and operation of several successful nuclear service companies. This direct experience will enable REI Nuclear to have an immediate and positive impact on the challenges facing our customers where experience and commitment is the key to success.
