Wilson Blake began selling heat transfer equipment, boilers and hot water, out of his garage

in Hartford, CT in 1930 and in 1945 became a Cleaver Brooks distributor. Richard Cuda

purchased the company in 1967 and expanded into pump systems, water systems and

service businesses. Under the leadership of Fred Cuda, the additions of JW Stevens,

Northeast Mechanical Corporation and Blake Water Solutions (BWS), formerly Tenergy Christ

Water-RCL Water Treatment Division to the Group expanded the distribution and service

network throughout Northeast. Customer Service and value have always been and always

will remain the focus of The Blake Group and the source of its growth.
