Celebrating our ongoing contribution to the nuclear industry in Canada

10/07/24

The Organization of Canadian Nuclear Industries (OCNI) and Ontario’s Nuclear Advantage (ONA) recently gathered at our newly nuclear-accredited Burlington facility to recognize our significant contribution to the nuclear sector in Ontario and beyond. They were accompanied by the honourable Pam Damoff (MP for Oakville North—Burlington) and Effie J. Triantafilopoulos (MPP for Oakville North—Burlington).

Commenting on the occasion, Tommy Kassem, our Chief Operating Officer said: “Celeros FT is committed to supporting our customers with technology designed to deliver clean energy to the world; we have established Nuclear as one of our focus industries globally. Since we signed a memorandum of understanding with Ontario Power Generation in late 2023, we have worked diligently to achieve nuclear certification for our Burlington facility. With this in place, Celeros FT now offers a dedicated workspace for nuclear pump manufacture, plus full lifecycle support through our highly experienced engineering and service teams. In addition, we have secured space for expansion to support the expected new nuclear growth in Canada as well as globally. Our nuclear portfolio includes both pumps and valves and we are working to deploy our full portfolio in Ontario through our Burlington site. We continue to partner with all stakeholders in Ontario for the future of the SMR program and the expansion of nuclear power and look forward to leveraging our Burlington facility to support their future plans.”

Burlington, Canada is one of four nuclear-accredited facilities we own and operate globally, all of which provide OEM equipment and aftermarket services to meet the demanding requirements of current and future nuclear technologies, such as generation IV, fusion, and small modular reactors (SMRs). In addition to supporting the commercial nuclear power market, we also provide flow control solutions to the world’s naval nuclear fleets, research reactors, and other nuclear facilities.

The event concluded with MP Damoff and MPP Triantafilopoulos presenting a plaque to Celeros FT’s senior leadership and joining staff for a tour of the Burlington facility, further solidifying the company’s esteemed position within the industry.

Andrew Thiele, Director of ONA, explained why we had been chosen for special recognition: “Ontario’s Nuclear Advantage was pleased to join the OCNI, MP Damoff, and MPP Triantafilopoulos in recognizing the significant role that Celeros Flow Technology plays in Ontario’s nuclear industry. For decades, our nuclear industry, and the global industry at large, has relied on Celeros FT’s advanced flow solutions in our nuclear power plants. Today’s event highlighted this significant impact, and the resulting contributions to Ontario’s net zero and clean energy ambitions.”
