Company President, Bob Shields, remarked, “We have reached this milestone through the efforts of our dedicated employees and a culture of customer service that was engrained by our founders. Additionally, the products, system design and related services we offer have evolved technically over the years to address customer needs. Now in this new era of Internet-of-Things (IoT) with emphasis on controls, monitoring of data and the ability to integrate with customer devices and systems, our products and people can provide a sustainable, innovative solution for our customers.”

In celebration of its 70th year of business, Reed is unveiling a new corporate brand identity that reflects the company’s future mission and goals. Included in the new branding is a redesigned company logo and tagline.
