About Russells Technical Products

Leaders in Environmental/Climatic Test Chambers

Russells Technical Products had humble beginnings in 1972 as an industrial refrigeration sales and service company. It was originally owned by a gentleman named Mr. Donald Bench. Don used his previous technical experience from a company called Conrad Inc. to begin designing and manufacturing environmental test chambers and systems. Since then Russells has been providing a comprehensive and varied product line including both pre-engineered and custom built test chambers on a global basis. To this day, we are still family owned and a major force within the test chamber industry.

Russells’ management team has over 150 years experience in the design and manufacture of environmental test systems. Our personnel are skilled and qualified in all phases of the design and manufacturing process. Our manufacturing philosophy is to operate self-sufficiently in terms of utilizing state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to enhance the value of our products. Our business philosophy is to create superior test systems that meet or exceed our customers’ requirements, along with building customer relationships based off honesty, trust and integrity.
