“BruceAir Company was a perfect fit to join our company,” said Bob Shields, President of C.H. Reed, Inc. “This addition of expertise and manpower strengthens our presence and solution oriented capabilities in northeast Ohio. Along with our finishing and fluid handling group and our tooling, fixturing and material handling group, Reed can provide a total integrated solution to customers in this area.” Bruce Bene, former owner of BruceAir, will continue his key role with the company and also assume the position of Branch Manager.
BruceAir will continue to operate under the same name and continue to serve all sectors across the region. BruceAir Company and C.H. Reed, Inc. personnel will be based out of the facility located at 19733 Progress Drive in Strongsville, Ohio.
“Reed’s approach is to provide a value added solution that is cost effective and sustainable. We consider plant processes, productivity, energy reduction, rebate opportunities, environmental concerns, ergonomic matters, reliability, quality and safety. Many projects span more than one division, providing an integrated, efficient result on a turnkey basis,” says Bob Shields. “We are somewhat unique in that respect.”
