Rudy Reginiano, managing director of AFR, said: “After 54 years since my father and I started the company, I have no intention of retiring completely, but it was important for me and my loyal staff to ensure that the company would continue in my absence.”

Pat Maughan, Sheco Group director, commented: “My connection with Rudy goes back over 40 years. We too are a family-owned group with roots in heating, automotive, and renewables, involving air conditioning and heat pumps for commercial and industrial use. We see great synergy in bringing AFR on board to complete our involvement in all temperature environments. The AFR name, synonymous with quality products and unmatched customer service, will continue, and we hope soon to add further products to the existing portfolio.”
