Dr. Nabil Nasr Selected for Funding in National Competition to Develop Road Map for the Remanufacturing Industry
Dr. Nabil Nasr, a speaker at this year's PEARL Conference, had a proposal selected for funding in a national competition by the U.S. government to develop a road map for the remanufacturing industry. This award is the first step to seek support from the government to develop the road map execution and the industry agenda. There are currently hundreds of millions of dollars in other industry sector programs, so it is Dr. Nasr's hope that the remanufacturing industry will receive the same recognition to address the future needs of the industry.

 | The Beginning of an Industry
An article by Doug Powell, PEARL President
It is widely believed that our electrical power system is exposed to terrorist attack, cyber-attack, and EMP electromagnic pulse. Our industry is the "first responder" when disaster strikes. We provide millions of square feet of electrical equipment storage securely in hundreds of warehouse located in hundreds of cities throughout the country, with electrical equipment ready to ship within days or hours when needed.
The electrical surplus equipment market is a major contributor to the speed at which we are able to get our electrical power grid and major industrial infrastructures up and running so quickly after a natural disaster. PEARL, its members, and the industry in general, offers high speed solutions for utility, industrial and commercial users of electrical equipment during major equipment failures as well and offering valuable solutions to utilities, industrial and commercial users of electrical equipment when maintaining and updating the reliability of their power distribution systems....READ MORE

Our thanks go out to Utility Relay for providing a special training session, a plant tour, reception and dinner, and excellent entertainment! A special thank you also goes out to North American Switchgear for their support in providing the technician training classes with their plant, as well as an excellent tour, dinner and reception, and entertainment. Both organizations were instrumental in helping PEARL achieve record breaking attendance. Thank you to both organizations!
