About Apollo Mechanical Contractors
Apollo Mechanical Contractors is a Native American-owned business that officially began operations in 1981 under the guidance and vision of owner Bruce Ratchford. Apollo is based in Kennewick, Washington, performing Full Mechanical projects across the United States and around the world. Apollo employs over 2000 people, with annual revenues of over $600 Million.
Apollo Sheet Metal officially began operations in 1981, building on a vision that originated in the mid-1970s by owner Bruce Ratchford. With a decade of experience and expertise in mechanical design and business management, Mr. Ratchford incorporated Apollo in Richland Washington, to serve the Tri-Cities’ construction needs. Since 1981, Apollo has expanded its market to include locations across the United States and multiple countries.
Apollo has progressively grown larger than its original scope and has expanded its operations to specialize in mechanical construction for correctional facilities, hospitals, laboratories, high tech data centers, schools, and industrial facilities.
