About Us
History
SABIA, Inc. was founded in April 2000 with the objective of making real-time, on-line analysis of bulk materials available to producers and consumers wherever it can provide cost and quality advantages. The founders were members of the team that first commercialized PGNA in the early 1980s.
Recognizing the market opportunity SABIA spent its first two years researching and developing the system that would be a breakthrough for the industry in cost, ease of installation, and maintenance. The revolutionary system was able to hit a price point less than half that of the competition.
During the first two years of intense R&D activity, SABIA built its reputation as a solid services organization, offering nuclear services at attractive prices across a wide variety of industries. SABIA’s high quality services and competitive prices are the foundation of the company. Third party service has also proven to be of great value to customers. SABIA is continually expanding its product line and services to meet emerging customer needs.
