THERMO-KOOL TIMELINE
The pride of our master craftsmen has been handed down through the years, allowing us to build and maintain our reputation for quality and customer service.
1960: The Beginning
The Beginning
Established in Laurel, MS, the company opened its doors under the name Mid-South Industries, Inc. Shortly after, we adopted the name “Thermo-Kool” in order to present a more memorable name within the industry.

With only fifteen years into the industry, Thermo-Kool soon realized it was outgrowing its humble beginnings. The company soon moved to its new, modern manufacturing facility in North Laurel Industrial Park. This spacious, ten-acre plant allowed us to meet the level of production demanded by our ever-increasing sales volume.

“With some companies it's just business. With Thermo-Kool it truly feels like a partnership. Over the years, Chick-fil-A has continued to resonate with the character, loyalty, and work ethic Thermo-Kool exhibits with our individual restaurant Operators and our organization as a whole. Thermo-Kool is one of our supply partners that we hold up as an example for others to emulate.”
“We chose Thermo-Kool for our school cafeterias because of the workmanship, quality, and most importantly, they design what we need. A sales representative visits each project to take measurements and generate specs. Once the blueprints are ready, the representative returns for an on-site visit to finalize and get approval to manufacture. We have purchased a total of 4 walk-in freezers from Thermo-Kool, with plans to purchase an additional freezer within two years. The product quality of this brand is outstanding. Bonus: Made in Mississippi, U.S.A.”
“I have been impressed by the level of thoroughness that went into making sure that my custom-created walk-in freezer was going to fit where it needed to go. They were also willing to accommodate my request for additional lighting. These were all things that contributed to my desire to have Thermo-Kool provide the walk-in freezer and cooler for our new kitchen build. They build a high-quality product that is both strong and durable, and provide great customer service to go along with it.”
