about
​r.e. miller & sons

R.E. Miller was founded in 1963 by Richard E. Miller and has remained in the family ever since. The company has around 30 employees, many of whom have been with us for 15 or more years. This continuity enables us to see the results of our previous work, build on our experience, and modify the theoretical science with on-the-ground knowledge, providing the best of both worlds. ​
