RIDGID Experience: A VIP Celebration for Trade Professionals

ELYRIA, Ohio — RIDGID, a part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, recently welcomed a dynamic group of plumbing and mechanical professionals to its headquarters in Elyria, Ohio, for their annual RIDGID Experience. Now in its eighth year, this VIP event delivered three packed days with behind-the-scenes tours, hands-on tool demos and chances to swap stories with fellow experts from across the U.S. and Canada.
“This year’s event truly surpassed expectations,” said Maddie Suvak, engagement marketing manager, RIDGID for Emerson. “We were thrilled to create unforgettable moments for attendees and be able to say ‘thank you’ for their hard work and dedication to the industry.”
RIDGID pulled back the curtain to give pros the ultimate inside look. Each participant assembled their own personalized RIDGID pipe wrench and got an exclusive sneak peek at the latest tools in development, offering feedback and insights directly to the RIDGID team.
New this year, each participant created an apprentice kit, complete with essential starter tools, to send to an apprentice of their choice, helping equip and inspire the next generation of tradespeople. Attendees also connected with participants of Greenlee Experience, a similar event hosted by another Emerson professional tools brand. The two concurrent events created a full-scale celebration of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing trades.
