OUR HISTORY

SCR of St. Cloud was founded as St. Cloud Refrigeration in 1957 by Don Fitch. In 1968, the land for the original building was purchased and the first building was constructed two years later. In 1985, Mike Fitch and Pat Welty purchased the company. The following year, our first warehouse was built. In 1991, we expanded our storage facility and added a work area to service our vehicle fleet. A second warehouse was constructed in 1994, and in 1995 the main building was enlarged to house additional office space and to upgrade our sheet metal shop.
