Mattex Service Company Purchases Rardin Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning

Mattoon, IL — Mattex Service Company announces the acquisition of Rardin Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning in Mattoon, effective October 1, 2020.

Mattex Service Company, founded in 1994, provides heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical services for residential and commercial properties from their business locations within Mattoon, Champaign and Monticello. Mattex was founded with the mission of “building loyal customers through excellent customer service”.

In the spring of 2018, Mattex expanded upon its promise of providing quality service to Central Illinois and opened a new storefront at 301 S. 21st Street in Mattoon, IL. This expansion allowed for an intentional investment in hiring and maturing local women and men to provide exceptional customer service in Mattoon and surrounding areas. Since opening its storefront, Mattex Service Company in Mattoon has become a top provider of heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical services for Coles County customers.

In order to continue expanding upon its plumbing services in the Mattoon area, Mattex has forged a partnership with Rardin Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, a locally-owned and operated services provider located at 521 N. 19th Street in Mattoon, IL , to join the local Mattex team. Beginning October 1, Rardin Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning will merge into the Mattex team in a partnership to provide quality solutions to the needs of customers in Mattoon, Charleston, Arthur, Arcola, Sullivan, Neoga and surrounding areas.

“We are excited to bring this new partnership to the Mattoon area,” said Mike Nichelson, President and CEO of Mattex Service Company. “This new relationship between Mattex and Rardin allows us to increase our ability to hire local technicians and invest in maturing the skill sets and careers of those in the trades. It is with great excitement that we welcome Rardin Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning to the Mattex team.”

“In forming this new and exciting partnership, we are focused on serving the comprehensive needs of customers in Coles County,” said Oscar Rardin, Owner of Rardin Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning. “Our neighbors in the Mattoon area will get the best of what both Mattex and Rardin have to offer as we continue to provide exceptional services and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. I look forward to working with the Mattex team in continuing to hire locally, train industry leaders and meet the needs of our wonderful customers.”

“The Rardin team brings with it many strengths, most notably in providing quality plumbing services,” said Lauren Acton, Director of Marketing for Mattex Service Company. “When partnered with Mattex’s reputation of being the top-rated, most-trained and most-trusted service provider in Central Illinois, this new partnership allows customers in Coles County to receive
exceptional heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical services for their residential or commercial properties. We are excited to grow together in being the best services provider for Coles County residents, and look forward to having the Rardin technicians join the Mattex team.”
