“Diverse” and “client-focused” capture the essence of RPC. Initially driven by our local economy, our diverse service lines have grown in response to today’s needs in both the regional and global marketplace. From our beginnings more than 40 years ago as a provincial technical resource, we have become a respected and reliable provider of specialized engineering, scientific and laboratory-based technical services within New Brunswick, across Canada and around the world.

Eligibility Criteria

RPC’s scientists, engineers and technologists provide technical solutions to clients in New Brunswick, the Atlantic Region and around the world.

Summary

Our molecular biology business supports the needs of the aquaculture industry for fish-health research and services. Our mechanical and metallurgical engineering units  respond to the needs of entrepreneurs for prototype design and development, and address the need for inspection, material failure investigation and troubleshooting services on the part of our nuclear power, and pulp and paper industries. Our comprehensive analytical offerings provide close and competitive chemistry support to the environmental consulting business. 

“Diverse” also describes our clientele. Many of our technical capabilities are attractive and competitive in markets well beyond our region. While we are analysing a well-water sample for a local homeowner, we may be analysing tissue samples for dioxins for a customer in Chile. Engineers who assist local entrepreneurs with prototype design and construction also direct specialized component manufacturing for CANDU nuclear reactors across Canada and around the world. Our mineral processing group applies their novel bio-leaching technology to ore and tailings located as close as 200 km or as far away as Serbia, Australia and China.

We are an independent contract R&D and technical services organization located in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. With our 13,000 sq. meter facility supporting the expertise of our chemists, geneticists, metallurgical and mechanical engineers, molecular biologists, and technologists from a variety of disciplines, RPC is well-equipped to meet your technical needs. 

As our client, you will find yourself the focal point when you contact RPC. Your technical challenges become our technical challenges. We are committed to delivering what we know you expect: quality, value and real solutions to your problems.
