Our Past:
The Freedom to Succeed

Reliability Center, Inc. was established in 1972 as a Research & Development arm of a major U.S. corporation. In 1985, RCI became an independent corporation under the direction of founder, Charles J. Latino, whose goal was to spread the reliability message to companies all over the world.

"RCI will continue to guide our clients through the minefield of traditional thinking and apathy. We have shown our clients, those that have the necessary prerequisites of leadership and courage, the path to truly unbelievable rewards. We will continue to demonstrate that returns in excess of 500% and even 1000% are attainable for those industry leaders that can see a new way into the future."
