Growing the RIDGID Community

In 2025, we strengthened our connections with trade professionals through participation in key industry events. We celebrated the skilled trades by meeting you face-to-face at specialized fairs and shows across multiple regions.

• InstallerShow UK. From 24th to 26th June 2025, we made our presence felt at InstallerShow in Birmingham, one of the premier gatherings for installation professionals in the United Kingdom. It was inspiring to connect with plumbers, heating engineers, and installers who stopped by our stand to experience our latest innovations firsthand.

This prestigious event brought together industry professionals from around the globe, and we were thrilled to showcase our latest innovations and connect with trade professionals who share our passion for excellence and reliability.

Supporting Our Communities

Investing in the future of trade remains one of our core values. In 2025, we deepened our commitment to education and skills development through meaningful partnerships and hands-on initiatives.

• RIDGID Competition. We continued our successful collaboration with the Faculty of Installations in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, hosting another edition of the RIDGID Competition. This event challenged students to demonstrate their technical knowledge and practical skills using professional RIDGID tools. Watching these young professionals showcase their abilities reminds us why investing in trade education is so important.
• STEM Summer Event. This year, we expanded our youth outreach through a special STEM Summer Event designed to introduce young people to exciting possibilities within the skilled trades. Through interactive demonstrations and hands-on activities with RIDGID tools, we helped spark interest in plumbing and installation careers among the next generation. Supporting STEM education ensures a bright future for our industry.
