RAE Energy divested its coatings business to go all in on NDT technology — the radiographic and ultrasonic systems, and the automation that carries them, that inspection companies deploy. Here's the pivot, at a high level.
The divestiture
In 2025, RAE Energy divested its field-joint coatings business — acquired by CRTS Global LLC, an automated pipeline coating technology company — to focus entirely on nondestructive testing technology: radiographic (X-ray) and ultrasonic inspection systems and the automation that carries them. It is the decision the rest of this company is built around.
Before
Now
Founded in 2012, RAE Energy is the parent technology company of Prime Inspections and UT Quality — an equipment and technology company for the nondestructive testing industry, distributing the radiographic and automated-ultrasonic inspection systems NDT inspection companies deploy. RAE equips its own inspection companies and the wider NDT industry. It is not a service arm: RAE Energy does not perform field inspections and never competes with its inspection companies.
Four forces are reshaping inspection: the shift from film to digital, tightening codes and traceability, the rise of automation and robotics, and AI-driven predictive analysis. NDT companies need equipment built for that world — and RAE Energy supplies it.
RAE Energy is the parent company and provides the technology; the RAE Energy companies Prime Inspections and UT Quality, and other NDT companies, deploy it in the field. See our companies.
