History
Robic Refrigeration was founded in by Richard and Bernita Roton with three employees on March 15th, 1975, as an HVAC, Sheet Metal and Refrigeration sales and service company. The name “Robic” is a combination of “Roton” and “Bick”, which is Bernita’s maiden name. The three employees were Carl Stuart (Service Manager), Kevin Roton (Sheet Metal) and Howard Garner (Service Technician).
