RG3 is family owned with legacy companies dating to 1950 when M L “Speedy” Gregory became the first excavation contractor in Dallas, Texas. Several decades later, excavation and large utility services were dropped to focus on the meter installation market. Those services were expanded as automated meter reading systems came into being, leading to the acquisition of Infinity Metering.   

As a utility contractor, RG3 installed every meter and automated meter reading system available for sale in North America. In doing so, we were afforded the rare opportunity of seeing the business from the other side of the transaction. Working with engineers and utilities to make their meter systems function properly gave our company a deep appreciation for the field perspective that has been the driving force in our engineering as a manufacturer. Because we experienced difficulty getting answers for our utility customers while working with other manufacturers, our customer service is the best in the industry. RG3 innovation has come from firsthand knowledge of all technologies available, in conjunction with, listening to our customers and creating products with features that solve real problems and add real value to their operations. It has also come from respecting our competitors and appreciating what they are doing well.

Though the influence of our legacy companies will always remain a strong part of our culture, RG3’s principals have been in place for the past two decades. Most of the senior management have decades of experience and have lent that valuable knowledge to RG3 for the past 10 years or more. While many companies experienced employee losses during the recent pandemic, the RG3 family remained together without a single layoff. It is true to say that RG3 is a family owned company, but it is most accurate to say that RG3 is a company of families that deeply appreciate the opportunity to serve our customers.
