Dave Updegraff has extensive experience in the steel industry. He purchased a manufacturer of steel samplers and sensors that were sold to the North American steel mills. In 2001, he renamed the company Reliacheck Manufacturing, Inc. In 2006, Reliacheck partnered with Ecil, a Brazilian firm serving South America, Germany, and Japan, to form Reliacheck/Ecil Venture to become the steel making and foundry industries' premier source for products, technology, and service. We met with Dave recently, and listened as he provided this overview of Reliacheck/Ecil Venture's operations;

Reliacheck/Ecil Venture offers molten metal samplers, thermocouples, sensors for the determination of multiple variables, sublance probes, extension and compensation cables, remote signal lights, heat reporter printers, and remote scoreboards. By partnering, Reliacheck/Ecil Venture now has a global distributions network that can meet our customers' product needs no matter where they are located.

Reliacheck/Ecil Venture is known for providing prompt, reliable customer service.
