Rudy's Commercial Refrigeration offers high quality commercial refrigeration Kason parts, as well as custom built walk-in and reach-in coolers and freezers. Rudy's officially opened for business in 1947; un-officially its origins can be traced back several decades before. William E. Plant was working on a law degree in Paris, Texas when World War II started. He came out west to Richmond, California to work in the shipyards. It is here he fulfilled his thirst for knowledge by studying refrigeration and electrical engineering in the shipyards.
