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 acquisitions of JW Stevens of New York, Northeast Mechanical Corporation in Maine and New Hampshire, and Blake Water Solutions(BWS), formerly Tenergy Christ Water- RCL Water Treatment Division, the Blake Group expanded its distribution and service network throughout the Northeast. Customer service and value have always been and will always remain the focus of the Blake Group and source of its growth.
