a cooling cabinet with no compressor,nomoving parts,and no ice.By simplyapplying heat to a boiler, a cooling agent circulated in the system,absorbing the heat and therebycreating a cooling effect.Their cabinet turned out to be theworld’s first refrigerator. The cabinet was patented and,in 1923,a Swed- ish company,appropriatelynamedArctic,acquired themanufacturing rights.Two years later,Arcticwas bought byElectrolux,a growing appliance company, whose vacuumcleaners,washingmachines,and dishwashers are still beingmade today,andwhich began sellingmillions of refrigerators tomid- dle-class homes,especiallyafterWorldWar II,replac- ing old-fashioned and out-dated ice boxes. In 1960,Electroluxspun off the leisure portion of its business that had beenmaking products for the recreational vehicle sector,and the companywas renamed the DometicCorporation.Over the last several decades,Dometichas expanded its portfolio of signature RV refrigeration and cooling products THE DOMETIC CORPORATION AT A GLANCE THE DOMETIC CORPORATION WHAT: A leading manufacturer of quality RV parts and accessories WHERE: Elkhart, Indiana WEBSITE: www.dometic.com Etratech Inc. is committed to consistently meeting and exceeding our customer expectations for product quality and service in the innovative design and manufacture of electronic controls.
