RIVIERA BEACH, FL--(Marketwired - May 03, 2017) - Florida Governor Rick Scott toured South Florida-based RGF Environmental Group, Inc., today as part his "Fighting for Florida's Future" tour. RGF Environmental is a global company headquartered in Riviera Beach that manufactures and produces air, food and water purification/sanitation systems for homes, schools, office buildings, hotels, cruise ships, food processors and hospitals and industrial water treatment/reclaim systems.

Our mission is to provide the world with the safest air, water and food, and Florida has proven to be an excellent location for us to work on meeting that important goal.
