Mike Reger, CEO of GelTech Solutions, stated "Aligning with Marcelo D'Amico from Orcus, a company with exceptional experience and knowledge in oil and gas industry, and Steve Kowkabany from Neptune, an established fire protection engineering company whose extensive expertise at providing solutions across several industries, was a natural fit for our organization.
