We’ve got some big news to share with you: Refrigeration Technologies has acquired an additional 30,000 square feet of warehouse space! This expansion marks a major milestone for us, which is projected to increase our manufacturing capacity by over 400%. It’s an exciting step that will allow us to continue innovating and delivering the safe, high-quality chemical solutions you rely on.
This achievement comes shortly after another proud milestone, that we have been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the third year in a row. This recognition highlights the incredible growth we’ve experienced, made possible by the support of our customers, partners, and dedicated team.
As Mike Pastorello, our President, puts it: “I’m excited to announce this significant investment in the future of our business. The new facility will help us increase production capabilities, enhance operational efficiency, and serve you better with innovative solutions. This is a critical step toward sustaining our commitment to excellence and driving our company forward in the coming years.”
Reflecting on Our Journey
Looking back, our Founder, John Pastorello, shared his thoughts on this milestone: “This expansion means that we need to keep a firm foot on the accelerator while shifting into higher gears. I always believed that if we made products that perform better, were safer to use, and solved problems, we would be successful. Today, I’m proud of the team we’ve built. Their knowledge, experience, and creativity will continue to make significant contributions to our industry.”
Our Vision for the Future
This isn’t just about adding space—it’s about what that space means for us as a team and as a company. As Dinda Pastorello, our Director of Hospitality, says: “We are so grateful for what John started and for the growth Mike has achieved over the last six years. The two new buildings are just the beginning of a larger vision for the brand, one that we hope will carry on for the next generation. Our focus remains on our people, processes, and products. This isn’t just a warehouse—it’s a pristine, organized facility designed to be welcoming and enjoyable for our employees. We want it to reflect the pride we have in our work.”
For Becca Stamey, our Director of Marketing, this expansion opens the door to exciting opportunities for creativity and connection: “This expansion represents our commitment to meeting the growing demand for Viper products while continuing to expand our product catalog. Personally, I’m excited about the opportunities it creates for collaboration and creativity. Dedicated areas for filming and hosting events means we can better showcase our products and connect with our community on a whole new level.”
What This Means for You
With this additional space, we’ll be able to plan proactively for growth and provide even better service. As Ashley Lynds, Director of Education and Brand Management, explains: “Having so much more space allows us to optimize our workflow, cut down on shipping times, and free up time for new product development. We’re already bursting at the seams, and this expansion is going to make such a difference in providing you with an even better customer experience. Stay tuned—there’s more innovation coming from the snake pit!”
Mike Burke, our Director of National Sales & Customer Success, adds: “This expansion also gives us more R&D space to bring new products to market and continue setting safe industry standards for chemicals and specialty products. It’s a proud moment to see all this hard work paying off.”
Thank You for Supporting Us
None of this would have been possible without the support from our customers, reps, and community. As Mike Pastorello puts it, “Business growth is not possible without the support of our dedicated employees, customers, and end users. We couldn’t have reached this pinnacle without your loyalty, and we’re looking forward to serving you better as we grow.”
We’re so excited about what this expansion means for the future of Refrigeration Technologies. It’s an honor to serve you and continue providing and innovating safe chemicals for the HVACR industry. Thank you for being part of this journey with us—stay tuned for more updates!
