The history of today’s modern evaporative cooling parallels the history of one family. In 1912 an inventive German family migrated to the U.S. In the early 1920’s their oldest son, Jon Goettl, moved to Arizona and soon began mass producing evaporative cooling units. International Metal Products was born and over forty years later grandson Steve Kinkel founded United Metal Products. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5JkONv-VGc[/youtube]
