ELYRIA, OH — RIDGID®, a part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, recently announced that they are now accepting entries for their sixth annual RIDGID Experience contest—a VIP event that has become a sought-after ticket for tradespeople across North America.

Six grand prize winners will receive an all-expenses-paid trip, as well as memorable experiences including a factory tour, customization of an iconic RIDGID pipe wrench and a night out to see the Cleveland Guardians baseball game.

Rewarding Tradespeople

It’s a trip of a lifetime, behind-the-scenes info, lots of fun, you’re treated like a rockstar, I guarantee you it’s worth it.”

“We love that past winners speak so highly of their RIDGID Experience. It’s their energy and excitement for others to win their own trip that has kept the momentum going,” said Becky Brotherton, director of engagement marketing, RIDGID for Emerson. “We can’t wait to meet our sixth group of winners this summer and treat them to the VIP experience past winners have loved.”
