A.O. Reed’s 110 Year Open House

A.O. Reed is celebrating 110 years of business! From starting as a small plumbing business in 1914 to being one of Southern California's most reputable mechanical contracting companies, we are grateful for our customers’ and employees’ support in continued success.

To celebrate our anniversary, A.O. Reed hosted an Open House at our San Diego Headquarters. On Friday, August 16th, we opened the doors to hundreds of guests to showcase and celebrate A.O. Reed! We had booths displaying our different departments, shop tours at our plumbing/ pipe fitting and sheet metal shop, a photo booth, games, and live music. The event provided fun appetizers ranging from mini sliders to tater tot nachos! We had the Blonde Brothers Band play live music at our event.

Our team wanted to pull out the red carpet for our guests and provided live demos of different items, including an in-wall plumbing system! The sheet metal and plumbing/pipe fitting shop tours allowed us to show A.O. Reed’s cutting-edge technologies and processes in the industry. We got to show off our laser cutter in our sheet metal shop and our gantry crane in our plumbing/pipe fitting shop. Our service team provided HVAC and plumbing service vans to be displayed so our customers could see a fully stocked service van. Some materials include a drain cleaning machine, a mainline locator, a mainline jetter, pressure gauges, vacuum pumps, and examples of small-diameter backflow devices.

Our Open House was truly a time to celebrate and entertain our clients. After all, we wouldn’t have been able to celebrate this milestone without their support. A.O. Reed enjoyed showing our customers why we are the best mechanical contractor in Southern California. Cheers to 110 years of business!
