Roberts Gordon, LLC is the world’s largest manufacturer of gas fired infrared heating products with installations in over 19 countries. Milton J. Roberts, a gas utilization engineer, established the Roberts Gas Burner company in Buffalo, NY, in 1923. In 1935, W. Stuart Gordon acquired an interest in the company and the name was changed to Roberts-Gordon Appliance Corporation. In conjunction with Ronald A. Corey, the company developed and introduced the CORAYVAC® low-intensity, gas-fired infrared heating system in 1962. The company introduced the Gordon-Ray® line of gas-fired unitary heaters in 1973.
The company name changed to Roberts Gordon, LLC in 1985, at which time a new 100,000 square-foot manufacturing plant was opened in Buffalo, NY. Several innovative products have been added to the line over the past 80 years. Most recently, in 2003, the UltraVAC™ control system for the CORAYVAC® line was introduced, resulting in the first truly modulating infrared heating system. |
