♨️ REGENESIS

Senior Vice President Rick Gillespie says the soil and groundwater remediation product manufacturer is aiming for aggressive growth as the environmental spotlight shifts to PFAS contamination.

REGENESIS launched with the development of a technology known as oxygen release compound, or ORC. Innovation and technical adaptability were always a part of the company culture. Though still headquartered in San Clemente, REGENESIS has grown into a global business with operations throughout the U.S., United Kingdom, and Western Europe.

The company’s remediation products are used around the globe, and most of them are manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee. Manufacturing facilities are a common site for the application of REGENSIS technologies.

Upshot: "By using our composite barriers, people are able to redevelop former brownfield sites and former contaminated properties to bring them into beneficial use.”
