In a press release this week, James Raisbeck, Founder and CEO of Raisbeck Engineering, provided the details of an internal restructuring of personnel. The moves will work to improve support to REI’s worldwide network of dealers who install and maintain Raisbeck products in a constantly evolving OEM market.
