Today we’d like to introduce you to Jonathan Marsh.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
In 1986, during my college years, misting was introduced to Phoenix. It was love at first feel – I was amazed at how well this simple concept worked! Within a month, I started into the business, initially selling a product used to cool chickens.
MistAmerica was formed in 1994 to push the envelope with this technology – and we haven’t looked back since. Our newest line of Mist360 outdoor cooling fans are used worldwide – even working well in humid climates like Houston and Dubai!
MistAmerica is also known for its expertise in the design, manufacture and implementation of large-scale outdoor cooling projects – recently completing a number of systems at Dubai Safari Park.
New products are on the horizon – products that will improve on existing outdoor cooling technologies AND be more affordable!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The economic downturn in 2008 resulted in a decrease of 70% in residential sales. Had it not been for some large projects in Las Vegas, we may not be here today (and you would still be getting wet on a patios cooled withOUT our Mist360s!).
MistAmerica Corp. – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
MistAmerica strives for excellence in all we do. As a larger company in a small industry, we are dedicated to committing our resources to enable ongoing R & D and provide the best outdoor cooling products for our customers.
MistAmerica stands out in providing unique outdoor cooling solutions that work – especially in more challenging climates. Our Mist360 line of outdoor cooling fans is the product of choice for those who want the best – and nicest looking – in outdoor comfort.
From restaurant and home patios to amusement parks and zoos, MistAmerica creates comfortable outdoor spaces that can be enjoyed throughout the hotter months. And we distribute the best in outdoor heating to help create comfort in the winter.
We are proud to have a dedicated team of employees who work together to create happy customers throughout our client base. Our MistAmerica team has never been stronger than it is today – and we are bullish on the future of our industry and our company.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Of course, a successful business must be profitable. And we enjoy sharing the fruits of our success with our employees and are known to support them and their particular needs as they inevitably arise – and bless them when and where we can.
Success is doing our part to create/engineer a better environment – whether cooling as well as possible where needed for people and animal comfort, reducing energy use by replacing A/C where appropriate, pre-cooling to significantly increase efficiencies, or reducing pollutants in industry. We love to use our knowledge to help solve problems.
