Expanding and improving the quality of the services provided was the first step to getting Rio where it is today. Rio now has experienced technicians to help in the fields of electrical devices and general problems, barge and engine maintenance, audio gauging of barge hulls, and controls and hydraulics.
Our superior service and our many office locations have made Rio a very recognized and respected service company that has served faithfully since 1929.
