Investing in our future.
Ensuring our success.
Sharing our ideas.

RTE was founded over 40 years ago by Larry Brickner, a devoted family man, church deacon, relentless entrepreneur, and inventor.  And like many family businesses, family members provide the backbone of support as the business grows. Today, Larry’s legacy lives on as his son-in-law and two daughters continue to expand upon his success.
