The pandemic has impacted everyone suppliers and customers, both on a personal and professional level. RGF carried several weeks of supply to ensure timely deliveries, but many stock levels dropped to zero in a matter of days and we had to react fast.
RGF is operating as an essential business under the Department of Homeland Security. Under these conditions, RGF had to prioritize hospitals, healthcare facilities and first responders, while diligently handling the growing demand from loyal HVAC customers.
RGF has taken extraordinary measures to address the major interruptions in supply chain and to support the over 500% increase in the demand of our residential, commercial, and medical FDA 510(K) cleared products.
RGF’s strategy to further improve business continuity includes acquiring additional buildings and development of remote sites. The RGF facility planned for the Tampa area will employ approximately 100 technicians and will operate with the same advanced manufacturing technologies as used at the Port of Palm Beach Envisionland complex.
RGF has continued to stay current with the ever-changing state and federal regulations, industry standards and guidelines through active participation in technical committees. Also, RGF has significantly increased in-house laboratory capabilities for efficacy testing and validation to ASHRAE and other international standards.
Nearly 20 years ago RGF’s proprietary Photohydroionization technology was validated by the BOC Group, one of the world’s largest industrial food and medical gases companies. Performing that evaluation were three independent PhD professors including Dr. Marsden, nationally renowned Food Safety expert. All three agreed RGF’s PHI technology exceeded expectations. This strategic alliance catapulted RGF in the world of food sanitation. After years as an independent industry advisor to RGF, we are excited to hire Dr. Marsden, PhD as the Executive Director of Science and Technology. RGF reached another significant milestone with Intertek announcing that the HALO-LED is the first product to receive certification under its zero Ozone Verification program, demonstrating RGF’s commitment to safety and corporate responsibility.
