Richard E. “Rich” Scogland (Sr.) Rich started at R.T. Forbes Company in 1978, after 10 years experience at The Boston Naval Shipyard and Badger Petrochemical.
Since he first became a part owner in 1983, he has gradually changed the company from a general representative firm with ten
accounts in diverse fields, to a more modern, service-oriented firm that specializes in heat transfer and water cooling
products, widely regarded as experts in our field. For over 65 years, SPX /
Marley Cooling Tower been our primary line. In 1990, we added SPX / Marley's Recold Division to strengthen our offerings
to industrial and refrigeration users. We now also sell Puroflux sandfilters and separators, and APV plate and frame heat
exchangers with new cooling towers or for existing cooling towers.
In
late 2012, we added GEA plate and frame heat exchangers. This was after over thirty successful years with
other PHE manufacturers.
Rich’s most senior employee is Robert W. “Bob” Forbes, previously his partner. Bob has worked for R.T. Forbes Company for over 25 years.
Rich’s oldest son, Richard W. “Rick” Scogland (Jr.), has been with the company since graduating from Bentley University in the Spring of 1994 with a Bachelor of Science
in Management. Rick has been treasurer for over ten years.
Rich’s
youngest son, Jeffrey P. “Jeff” Scogland, has been working full time since receiving his Mechanical Engineering Degree from the University of Massachusetts
in 1999. Jeff began serving as company president in 2011.
Brigid
Bolduc has been our secretary and office manager since August of 2002.
In 2013 Jack Dresty
was brought on board to improve coverage of the Connecticut area. Jack has previous experience with cooling towers and
pulse powered chemical free water treatment products.
