CONDAIR – EVAPORATIVE TECHNOLOGIES TEAM | JULY 2024

The long-anticipated integration of Condair and Kuul™ has finally become a reality. Kuul Evaporative Technologies is now Condair – Evaporative Technologies. By uniting these two industry leaders, we bring together decades of experience to integrate evaporative media expertise with system expertise.  

Our deep commitment to our customers made this move a logical next step for the growth of both companies. It represents our continued values of innovation and quality while broadening our range of advanced products and services. 

Who We Are: A Brief Overview of Condair and Kuul

Kuul started out as a part of Portacool, LLC in 1996 when the company began manufacturing Kuul Evaporative Media™ for their evaporative coolers. In the following years, Kuul broadened its reach to serve a wider range of industries including Data Center, Gas Turbine, and HVAC.

In 2022 we rebranded to Kuul Evaporative Technologies reflecting our commitment to providing cutting-edge evaporative cooling media and expertise. In 2023, Kuul Evaporative Technologies transitioned to operate under the Condair Group. This alignment with Condair, a global leader in the industry, enhances both brands’ capabilities and market reach.  

Condair has established a deep level of respect within the industry, further bolstered by the addition of the Kuul product line. Founded in 1948, Condair continues to solidify its position as a global leader in humidification, dehumidification, and evaporative cooling, renowned for their innovative solutions and commitment to quality.

Both companies have a long history of serving diverse industries with a strong focus on customer satisfaction and technological advancement. Condair’s global reach and systems expertise, partnered with Kuul’s deep knowledge of evaporative media, position the partnership to more effectively meet and exceed the precise requirements of our global customers.

Increased Production Capacity

Not only does the merger of these powerful brands allow us to expand our product offering, but it also has brought us the opportunity to increase our production capacity.

This ensures that Kuul Evaporative Media is still 100% Made in the USA, while also enabling us to increase production with the same great quality our customers have come to expect.  

By 2026, all production operations will move from our facility in Center, Texas to this new facility, which will act as the new headquarters for our team. Our new facility represents increased production space and creates closer engagement with our clients.  

In addition to Condair’s other existing sites in Wisconsin and Ottawa, this new Virginia facility will expand the Condair network across the North American continent to better support the global community.
