Skolnik Industries, a leading manufacturer of high-performance steel containment systems, is pleased to announce a new licensing agreement with PDS-MMM for the exclusive use of TRU-Shield® technology in North America. This proprietary shielded containment solution is engineered to meet the stringent safety requirements of the nuclear waste industry.

The agreement represents a major step forward in Skolnik’s mission to deliver advanced, corrosion-resistant solutions for highly regulated and mission-critical applications. By integrating TRU-Shield® into its U.S.-based manufacturing operations, Skolnik will offer North American customers enhanced technical support, shorter lead times, and local service they can count on.

“TRU-Shield® has demonstrated exceptional performance under extreme conditions,” said Dean Ricker, President of Skolnik Industries. “It’s already proven in Europe, Asia, and the U.S., and this partnership enables us to expand its availability across North America while providing our customers with responsive, regionally based expertise.”

Originally developed by PDS-MMM, TRU-Shield® is a shielded steel container solution designed for durability, inspection access, and long-term performance in nuclear waste management. Skolnik’s adoption of this proven technology will expand its footprint in defense, energy, and nuclear sectors.

“We’re excited to partner with Skolnik Industries, whose reputation for quality and reliability aligns perfectly with TRU-Shield®’s global track record,” said Robert Ward, Director at PDS-MMM. “Together, we’re positioning this technology for accelerated growth in key North American markets.”

As regulatory standards tighten and infrastructure investment increases, the demand for robust, domestically manufactured containment solutions is growing. Skolnik Industries’ integration of TRU-Shield® ensures customers have access to a trusted, high-integrity option backed by decades of experience and service.
