Welcome to the RDT Blog.

There are two key aspects to what we do at RDT. The reason we're here is to deliver best-in-class refrigeration solutions to help our customers reduce energy spend, gain redundancy, and experience more efficient operations. It doesn't stop there, though. We also believe those solutions should be delivered with top-tier customer service. After all, they go hand-in-hand.

Here at RDT, we love working together with our amazing group of reps that span across North America. In Virginia, Maryland, and the metro Washington, D.C. area, we're proud to partner with the team at High Sabatino.

Refrigeration can be some of the most overlooked but profitable units in a commercial kitchen, and there's good reason for this. Statistically speaking, refrigeration accounts for approximately 41 percent of a commercial kitchen's energy usage, and here at RDT, we've made it our goal to use this statistic to our advantage -- for your advantage. When we save energy, when we reduce that percentage, we save you money.

I wanted to take a few minutes to say thank you to all of our amazing customers and partners. We know this year has been anything but ordinary, so we wanted to let you know just how much we value your partnerships and friendships.

Here at RDT, we value our relationships and our partnerships more than anything, and a huge part of that is the working relationship we have with manufacturers' representatives across the country. As a family-owned business, we recognize and embrace that fact that many of our reps are also family-owned, and that's why we carefully select our partners.

One of those amazing partners is RHI Solutions, and we're proud and happy to introduce them to you here.

Eaton Marketing is one of our longest-tenured manufacturer's reps here at RDT. That says a lot about who they are and what they stand for. It also says a lot about why they've been a trusted partner for as long as they have.

We're back today sharing with you another small glimpse into our RDT staff family. Our Administrative Assistant Latricia, known as Dee Dee around these parts, has grown to be a staple in our operation. She began with RDT back in July of 2017 as a Wiring Technician in the shop. Her initiative was recognized, and she was promoted to work in the front office as our administrative assistant.

At the turn of the new year and new decade, we knew that something exciting was coming up. As the entire world took a pause to quarantine, we were hard at work implementing a big change for all of us at RDT: a brand new logo.

RDT is a family owned and operated business. When we hire our staff, we bring them in to our work-family, and we take that position very seriously. In an effort to keep that family on the forefront of our operations, we are proud to feature some key staff members on our blog. We want this to serve as an introduction to them, and also as a humble brag about all the amazing work and effort they bring to our staff team. 

RDT is proud to announce the hiring of our new vice president of engineering, Chris Boryca. Chris comes to us with an extensive foodservice background and personality of great integrity. We'd like to share some of his story with you here.
