🎉 Welcome to OBR, Erica Adamski!

We’re excited to welcome Erica Adamski to the OBR team as our new Financial Reporting & Analysis Manager!

Erica joined OBR in July and has already hit the ground running, playing an important role in our Spectrum to Business Central implementation. She brings extensive accounting and finance leadership experience from organizations including Owens Corning, Dana Corporation, Total Fleet Solutions, and Tony Packo’s.

Outside of work, Erica’s favorite way to spend her time is with her family, especially cheering on her grandchildren at their sporting events. She and her fiancé, Ralph, are also avid bowlers who compete in both fall and summer leagues. Fun fact: the two actually met at a bowling tournament! 🎳

When they’re not at the lanes, Erica and Ralph enjoy traveling and checking out new destinations. Aruba and Puerto Rico are two of her favorites, with Puerto Rico holding a special place in their story as the place where they got engaged. 🌴

Erica is also a proud dog and cat grandma, with plenty of four-legged family members in the mix. 🐾

We’re excited to have Erica’s experience, leadership, and financial expertise on the OBR team. Please join us in giving her a warm welcome!

Welcome to OBR, Erica! 💚

For more than 30 years, OBR Cooling Towers has been the name on our hard hats, work shirts, trucks, and projects across the country.

That name, and our commitment to the cooling tower industry, is not going away.
But our capabilities have grown.

Today, we are beginning the transition to OBR Companies, the parent organization representing our expanded ability to support industrial and commercial facilities.

OBR Companies is organized around three primary service groups:
🔹 OBR Cooling Technologies
🔹 OBR Industrial Solutions
🔹 OBR Water Services

These groups are supported by expanded parts, supply, fabrication , and logistics capabilities, including Platform Freight.

From cooling towers, heat exchangers, dry cooling, and industrial refrigeration to coatings, working surfaces, pumps, vibration services, water equipment, filtration, specialty cleaning, parts supply, fabrication, and freight support, our team can now assist with more of the critical needs throughout your facility.

One example of this expansion is OBR CoilCare™, our professional coil cleaning service for commercial and industrial cooling and heating systems. Learn more about OBR CoilCare™: https://hubs.li/Q04w7Xmh0

With more than 450 field professionals, supported by engineering, project management, safety, supply, and logistics resources, we can provide supplemental field labor or execute complete turnkey projects.

You will begin by seeing the OBR Companies name on LinkedIn, with a gradual transition across other materials over the next 12 months.

Same people. Same commitment. More ways to help.

OBR Cooling Towers represents where we started. OBR Companies represents everything we can now provide.

Most repair projects don't go over budget because of poor workmanship.

They go over budget because important details weren't identified before work began.

Common examples include:
➡️ Hidden structural deterioration
➡️ Mechanical issues discovered after demolition
➡️ Site access limitations
➡️ Crane or equipment requirements
➡️ Freight and material lead times
➡️ Safety and outage planning

Many of these risks can be identified during a thorough inspection and incorporated into the project scope before work starts.

Better planning leads to better projects.

Cooling tower issues do not always start with an obvious failure.

Changes in vibration, cooling performance, structural condition, water distribution, or accessibility can indicate that a closer evaluation may be worthwhile.

And sometimes the biggest concern is simply not knowing the current condition of critical components.

Our quick questionnaire helps you review key indicators and determine whether a professional cooling tower inspection may be worth considering.
