Or is a leading manufacturer/supplier of, assuming this is the case.
You haven't given much context, but I assume this is some kind of marketing text and the company is a manufacturer. Maîtrise implies that they've been doing it for a long time and are very good at it.

is responsible for all
would be my best attempt in the absence of any further context. Much depends what the company is actually doing: it could be manufacturing them, monitoring them, maintaining them, but if you're not sure, then "is responsible for" should cover a multitude of sins.

I agree that "maitriser" is tricky, but suggest rephrasing as "all the main nuclear components are under the full control of...."
