Colby Equipment has been family-owned for three generations. The success we have achieved in our nearly 100-year history would not be possible without our valued customers, sales staff and office personnel.
About
A Century of Family Values and Customer Trust
Colby Equipment is established in a small, one-room office in Indianapolis. Brothers John Colby and Royal Colby work selling hot water and steam equipment.
Colby becomes the first Titus representative in Indiana and is selling fans and air distribution equipment for Titus, Ruskin and New York Blower.
Colby adds manufacturers like American Cool Air, Acme, Jen-Air and American Air Filter, working to position itself as a leading supplier of HVAC equipment. The company hosts one-day trade shows at a local hotel to showcase the products it represents.
Colby expands and moves to a larger facility. With just six employees and no warehouse manager, everyone pitches in when needed.
In an expanded facility, Colby increases warehouse offerings—including Greenheck fans and Titus air distribution—and continues to grow sales and support staff.
