Rimkus Connections: January 2025 Edition

Articles

Hello, 2025!

2024 was a great year for the Rimkus team and our clients as we joined forces to solve thousands of problems. We uncovered how accidents happened and used that information to help prevent future occurrences. We applied specialized expertise to support teams as they developed new products and brought them to market. We assessed building systems, helping owners and managers to ensure code-compliant and energy-efficient properties. Together, we accomplished a wide variety of goals that continued our commitment to fostering a better, safer world.

With the addition of several new team leaders at the helm, innovative testing laboratories and equipment, and a growing list of global service offerings, we can’t wait to show you what’s in store for the new year. Thank you for partnering with the Rimkus team; we look forward to a successful, collaborative 2025!
