Welcome to the RDT Blog.

One of our most popular series here on the blog is Meet Our Team. We love introducing our team members to let everyone get to know them and showcase how they make RDT the company that is. This month we're talking to our Project Manager, Brandon Colton.

This month in our Meet Our Team series, we introduce you to Production Scheduler Trey Paden. With RDT for 2 years, Trey is new to the refrigeration industry but puts a lot of heart into his work. Let's hear from him about life in the refrigeration "sphere" . . .

RDT is extremely selective about the rep firms we work with. We choose only the best, and EPI Kitchen is no exception. A manufacturers' rep located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, EPI Kitchen covers MAFSI region 15, which translates to Oklahoma and most of Texas. In business for over 25 years, EPI retains a customer focus and commitment to innovation. Making them a natural fit with the team here at RDT. 

For 50 years, Refrigeration Design Technologies has provided clients with best-in-class customer service and the most technologically advanced commercial refrigeration solutions. And now we're proud to introduce a new website and new products, all with enhanced ease of use so commercial customers have resources at their fingertips and a more seamless path to cost-saving refrigeration solutions.

Last year saw a lot of advances in foodservice, as well as many challenges. As we tie the final bow on 2022, here's the RDT content that was the most popular. You voted with your views and here are the results.

Based on Long Island, just outside of New York City, Clements-Stella-Gallagher Marketing (CSGM) carries a tradition very similar to that of RDT. A belief in excellent customer service and support, along with a partnership with our community of factories, consultants, dealers, and end-users.   

One of the advantages of being a family-owned and operated company is that it allows us to maintain close ties to our local community, and more importantly, continue to grow right here where we got started.

We've spoken at length recently about the benefit that the retrofit kit may bring to your foodservice operation. 

Schools have had to adapt and overcome many different trials over the past year. From going completely virtual, to hybrid, to full in-person, it seems the changes are never-ending and pose all new complications. The biggest hurdle that many school foodservice operations have had to jump over recently has been properly and effectively monitoring their refrigeration, and that's what we're here to talk about today.

Technology is something that is always evolving. Power companies, home security systems, and appliances are providing smart systems that allow the end-user to monitor their usage from anywhere, at any time, and even on the go. RDT recognizes this technology shift, and our RDT Smart Access is bringing that same transparency and data directly to your fingertips.

Our Senior Project Manager, James Beam, will be retiring from RDT after 12 years of working with us.
