RIX to Host Oxygen Standardization Coordinating Group (OSCG) 2016 Conferences

RIX Industries will be hosting the Oxygen Standardization Coordinating Group (OSCG) conferences at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada August 9th – 11th 2016. An annual assembly for all branches of the U.S. and international Military forces to collaborate and share ideas, the OSCG also offers a place for leaders in the oxygen solutions industry to share knowledge, network with government affiliates, and learn about developments pertaining to medical and aviation oxygen needs.

This will be the second time RIX will be hosting the event in Reno since 2009. During the 2015 OSCG conference held in San Antonio, Texas, RIX Industries leaders gave a presentation on their state of the art liquid oxygen plant to be used on aircraft carriers and currently aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78).

“Hosting this event is an honor and a privilege,” says Charles Grutzius, a consultant for RIX Industries and retired Navy Veteran. “It is a great opportunity to have so many knowledgeable people in one room discussing the future of oxygen solutions and equipment for the government sector and warfighter alike. RIX is a proud supporter of our militaries domestically and overseas. It means a lot for us to be given the opportunity of hosting this event once more.”
