St. Cloud Refrigeration

Mike Fitch, president of St. Cloud Refrigeration, understands the importance of innovation when it comes to meeting the needs of his customers. He demands it not only from his service technicians, but also from the products and technologies they install and service.

That's why he depends on Emerson Climate Technologies. Founded in 1957, St. Cloud Refrigeration is a commercial HVACR contractor servicing the St. Cloud, Minnesota area. With about 100 employees and 80 trucks, the company specializes in supermarket, restaurant, warehouse and convenience-store applications. St. Cloud sells, installs and services all types of refrigerated cases, coolers and freezers, deli equipment, ice machines, cabinets, compressor racks, shelving and foodservice equipment, as well as offering complete design capabilities.

An Emerson Climate Technologies customer for many years, the contractor views the company as an industry leader. Fitch's relationship with Emerson began with Copeland® compressors. Based on his experience with, and high regard for, the compressors' performance, he has since expanded to include Emerson® filter driers and valves and controllers from Computer Process Controls. He's a firm believer that in order to do a job correctly, you need to have the best and most innovative equipment.

"One of the areas we service is large warehouses, and without a doubt, one of the best pieces of equipment on the market right now for that application is the Copeland Screw™ compressor," said Fitch. "The adaptability and durability of the product perfectly meets the demanding needs of this application. One of our biggest clients is a large distillery. Without the Copeland Screw compressor's ability to provide variable speed and load, we would not be able to service this customer."

Fitch also credits Emerson Climate Technologies, as well as Emerson Climate Technologies District Sales Manager Dave Dauberman, with helping to ensure that his technicians offer the most innovative service to his customers. "Whenever I call Dave, he is always very responsive. Whether it's a customer-service issue, training request or technical question, he continually goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we have the answers, training and service we need to meet the needs of our customers."

Armed with innovative products from Emerson Climate Technologies and an innovative staff of service technicians, Fitch is very confident about the continued success of his business.
