1962 – The Beginning
The late Roger G. Anderson founded the R.G. Anderson Company in 1962. Established as a manufacturer’s representative, the company supplied a variety of commercial HVAC products. The R.G. Anderson Company provided equipment for a vast array of buildings throughout the Greater Cincinnati area. Many of the major hospitals gained air conditioning by means of retrofitting old cast iron radiators with packaged terminal air conditioners with the help of R.G. Anderson. Another claim to fame for R.G. Anderson is that they were the first equipment supplier to promote and pioneer the decentralized water source heat pump system in the area. By 1999, they were responsible for over 300 projects with an installed tonnage of more than 60,000 tons.
1999 – The Merge
In the year 1999, R.G. Anderson Company merged with another prosperous local company, Stoermer Equipment Co. and together they formed Stoermer-Anderson, Inc. Stoermer Equipment Co. had served the area for nearly 20 years, providing equipment for HVAC applications, as well as steam plants and central utility plants. Combining the knowledge, experience and expertise of these two companies along with each of their noteworthy lists of represented manufacturers, success was inevitable. Stoermer-Anderson, Inc. became a comprehensive supplier of equipment to the commercial HVAC, industrial, institutional, and power generation markets throughout the tri-state area.
2013 – New Acquisition
Stoermer-Anderson, Inc. had a very exciting year in 2013 with the acquisition of the J.H. Ballenger Company.
