Last week, our Inside Sales Team had the incredible opportunity to visit the Braidwood Clean Energy Center for the first time.
Seeing the facility up close and meeting with the talented professionals who keep it running gave our team invaluable insight into the real-world challenges and priorities of nuclear operations. It was a powerful reminder that behind every order, spec, and timeline, there’s a mission to provide safe, reliable, and carbon-free energy.
Thank you to the team at Braidwood for the warm welcome and for your continued partnership. United Controls International is more committed than ever to supporting the nuclear industry with the materials, service, and responsiveness our customers require to keep moving forward.
Here’s to strengthening relationships and staying close to the work that matters
