GLOBAL ORIGIN
More than 100 years ago, two ingenious
pioneers laid the foundation for SPX Cooling
Technologies. In Germany in 1894, Hans-
Joachim Balcke invented the chimney cooler,
the fi rst natural draught cooling tower. In
the USA in 1936, L. T. Mart, having estab-
lished The Marley Company, developed the
fi rst crossfl ow mechanical draught cooling
tower. This innovative spirit prevails today
in the SPX Group.

synonymous with cooling technologies –
