Osmose
At Osmose, Mike Adams is Chief Executive Officer, Jose Villalba is Chief Operating Officer, and Steve Tompkins is Chief Commercial Officer.
In service for over ninety years, Osmose is known as a partner for utilities seeking solutions for aging infrastructure. The company helps with expertise to meet an array of challenges, including inspection, life extension or rehabilitation, using its knowledge, experience, and innovative tools and technology to strengthen the grid.
A lot goes into that process. From humble beginnings in 1934 in Buffalo, New York as the Osmose Wood Preserving Company of America, it provided OsmoSalts, a preservative used to treat timbers that supported mine shafts and railroad bridges. The timbers were dipped in the mixture, then covered while it infused through the wood in a process called osmosis, which is the basis for the product and company names.
It is against that backdrop that Osmose has grown into a leading service provider headquartered in Atlanta and safeguarding North American utility infrastructure. PUF Executive Editor Rachel Bryant discussed capitalized life extension, and why it is central to the Osmose approach to utility asset management, with leaders including CEO Mike Adams, COO Jose Villalba, and CCO Steve Tompkins.
