We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating our 100th anniversary together with an incredible crew of nine professionals: from France (Ludovic Barbotti @plumbergoodjob), Germany (Bruno Friedmann @nample & Uwe Murmann @rohrstar_rheinmain), Greece (Petros Vitos @vitosplumbing), Italy (Alessandro Ambrosio @ireneale05), Norway (Christina Lie @plumbr_christina), Poland (Damian Kwiatkowski @wukowarszawa), Romania (Ovidiu Țifui @tifui.ro) and last, but not least, the United Kingdom (Ross Charters @complete_preservation).
They may come from different countries and cultures, but they share the same passion for the trades and the love for the RIDGID Brand. ❤️

RIDGID Experience Europe included exclusive team-building activities that highlighted our commitment to the trades. Next to a factory tour, our guests spent time in the research test lab where they were the first to discover the innovations in the product development pipeline. Plus, they were thrilled to build their own iconic RIDGID customized pipe wrench. Hands-on RIDGID product demonstrations are always so much fun, so we made sure to spend enough time in the RIDGID School House with a focus on Pressing, Drain Cleaning, Underground Technologies and Pipe Fabrication.

As soon as all the guests found their favourite RIDGID tool, it was photo shooting time. We were excited to recreate the iconic RIDGID Experience group picture next to the RIDGID water tower. (image posted above)
