The Brand Story
Heatcraft: A Georgia Refrigeration House With Four Famous Names
About 150 miles south of Atlanta, in Tifton, Georgia, a 560,000-square-foot plant employs roughly 500 people building the coils and condensing units that keep supermarkets, restaurants and cold storage rooms cold. It started as an independent Larkin factory. Since 1990 it has been part of Heatcraft Refrigeration Products, one of the most familiar names in American commercial refrigeration.
Chapter 1 · Stone Mountain and Tifton
One company, several brands
Heatcraft is a business of Lennox International. It is headquartered in Stone Mountain, Georgia, east of Atlanta, where a 120,000-square-foot complex houses research, engineering and fabrication, along with a 30,000-square-foot test lab founded in 1993. Under the Heatcraft umbrella sit the Bohn, Larkin, Climate Control and Chandler brands, each with its own following among refrigeration contractors, plus the InterLink parts business and intelliGen controls. For a contractor, that means a familiar coil or condensing unit can often be matched, serviced or rebuilt with parts from the same family that built it.
