Yellow Jacket Tools
“All the Tools You’ll Ever Need”
When you see the Yellow Jacket brand name on a charging hose, you know you’ve got the genuine item for industry proven performance. Ritchie® Engineering Company has been engineering, manufacturing and continuously improving Yellow Jacket hoses for decades. And now, the Yellow Jacket name has come to back the quality of the largest single line of HVAC&R tools in the industry. Yellow Jacket tools are right with you on every call from detection through evacuation, charging, and recovery.
Ritchie Engineering Company was started in 1946 by Jack Ritchie as a manufacturers representative organization before becoming a hose manufacturer in the late 40’s. Jack’s father, John Sr., came out of retirement to help out part time and stayed for about another 30 years.
With the emphasis on quality and service, the hose developed at Ritchie was trademarked in 1950 as Yellow Jacket Charging Hoses. Today, it’s the industry’s leading line of hoses. During the 60’s, the Yellow Jacket brand and reputation expanded to include test and charging manifolds.
Jack’s two sons, Steve and Tom, joined Yellow Jacket in the early 70’s and lead the business today as the top management team. Through the years they helped bring Yellow Jacket vacuum pumps and tubing tools to market during the continued growth of the 70’s and 80’s.
It’s a growth pattern and commitment to quality that continues today with the acquisition of RST, a leading recovery systems manufacturer, and Corrosion Consultants, a UV lights and dyes manufacturer. Ritchie developmental resources are currently focused on completing a line of Yellow Jacket electronic tools.
Building on the position as a leading supplier of air conditioning and refrigeration tools in the U.S., Ritchie Engineering is expanding the Yellow Jacket brand and reputation worldwide.
