In the 60 years from 1943 to 2003, Visco Cooling Towers was the go-to name in the industry for cooling towers and all the parts and services needed to keep towers in good working order.
Since 2003, however, Visco has become just one cog in a wider operation that was first managed by Carter Environmental and is now a subsidiary of Franklin Hodge.
What this means is that Franklin Hodge isn’t just leading the way with its collection of water tanks and fire suppression solutions but has also expanded to encompass and embrace the leading designs and innovations of previous industry leaders.
Why Visco Cooling Towers Have Long Been the Industry Gold Standard
Visco didn’t just spend 60 years perfecting its own range of cooling towers – it also manufactured solutions which are still used across the market today, notably developing solutions that integrated cooling tower technology into smaller and more complex spaces.
These diverse solutions used different materials and structures to complement smaller spaces and combined leading products with an unrivalled approach to service across industrial and commercial applications.
The later acquisition of Visco Cooling Towers in 2003 meant that Carter Environmental was able to manufacture and supply both the towers and the parts required to keep them in optimum working order. And this is where Franklin Hodge comes into the picture, with a later merger encompassing Carter Environmental as part of the wider Franklin Hodge name and brand.
What The Acquisitions Meant for Customers
Neither the Carter Environmental nor the latter Franklin Hodge acquisitions are particularly recent changes. However, the continuation of unrivalled service and product delivery has meant that the changes have gone vastly underrepresented across the media and among customers and client circles.
In essence, any Visco cooling tower that requires replacement parts and maintenance now falls under the responsibility of Franklin Hodge, combining the longevity of Visco products with an even broader and more sophisticated understanding of what towers need to optimise cooling performance and accessibility.
Carter Environmental and Franklin Hodge have embodied the long-standing quality of Visco Cooling Towers and made the towers, still very much in circulation today, even easier to maintain and care for under a comprehensive range of services and support packages. Clients and customers can go through Franklin Hodge directly to access replacement parts and advice on how to optimise the operation of the cooling tower.
Why Choose Carter Environmental Via Franklin Hodge
Acquisition in the water storage and cooling tower industry does not detract from the quality of products – rather, it takes one successful company and combines it with the continued innovation and input of other leading brands.
With Visco Cooling Towers now a part of Carter Environmental and Franklin Hodge through further acquisition, the standard of our cooling towers has continued to develop under the investment and innovation of its subsequent parent companies.
So, for clients looking to service or replace parts on an existing Visco Cooling Tower, don’t be alarmed at the lack of Visco as a standalone brand. Instead, look to Franklin Hodge as the leading provider of towers, servicing solutions, and parts for Visco as just one of its brand names.
