Tulsa Inspection Resources (“TIR”) is pleased to announce it has completed an asset purchase of Supreme NDT, LLC (“Supreme”), a Non-Destructive Examination (“NDE”) business, on June 1, 2026. As part of the arrangement, TIR has hired the entirety of Supreme’s technicians and management team including Richard Ruiz as the new TIR Director of Radiation Testing (“RT”) Services and Brandon Guerra as the RT Field Supervisor and Radiation Safety Officer (“RSO”).

Fletcher Wheeler, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at TIR commented, “the Supreme acquisition strengthens our position as a specialized turn-key NDE service provider. Moreover, we are excited to leverage the expertise of the team at Supreme given their understanding of Advanced Radiographic Services. The transaction fits perfectly with our strategic direction of partnering with our customers to develop and innovate valued solutions.”

Richard Ruiz, incoming Director of RT Services at TIR, commented: “This transition represents an exciting new chapter for both our team and our clients. Joining forces with TIR allows us to move faster, operate more strategically, and expand our NDT capabilities on a broader, turn-key, scale. There is a lot of momentum behind where we’re headed, with operators continuing to drive NDE service providers towards advanced analytics, specialty services, and integrated asset-integrity solutions.”

Jeff English, President of TIR stated: “The turn-key NDE offering reflects a broader trend, where customers increasingly prefer contractors that can bundle multiple NDE services under a single provider. Consolidated Inspection and Integrity service models can reduce coordination costs, shorten project timelines, and improve safety oversight during maintenance or new capital projects. The Supreme management team and technicians have vast experience in the industry providing a wide range of RT services to their clients. TIR began a business relationship earlier this year on a customer project and were impressed with their capabilities resulting in our interest in acquiring their assets and personnel. We look forward to the continued growth and expansion of TIRs services to provide value to our customers.”

The Supreme acquisition is the second expansion deal completed by TIR over the past six-months. For more information or questions, please contact Fletcher Wheeler, SVP of Strategy & Business Development (Fletcher.Wheeler@tirusa.com)
