ATLANTA — It was a celebration for Yellow Jacket as the company kicked off its 70th anniversary. In a square booth with a large, lit banner, attendees were invited to explore what the company had produced from 1949 to 2019.
Yellow Jacket is a brand of Ritchie Engineering Co. Inc., and 70 years ago, Jack Ritchie set goals for his company not only to be in the market but also to set the standard for HVAC hoses. Over the years, the company has progressed beyond hoses to now include tools, refrigerant gauges, manifolds, HVAC vacuum pumps, and refrigerant recovery machines in its offerings as well.
