History
Established in 1965.
Austin Industrial Refrigeration was established by Tom Walters in 1965. Shop was opened on N. Lamar Blvd., Austin, TX.
Mr. Walters retired and sold the business in 1996 after which the business again changed hands in 1998 and the business name has continued in operation under Mark Willett. Mark was an employee of Mr. Walters prior to his retirement. Tom had mentored Mark to procure his Texas state license for refrigeration contractor.
In or around 2003, Mark moved shop to Pond Springs Rd. in northwest Austin and has operated from that location ever since.
Many of the original customers of the original founder of Austin Industrial Refrigeration are still loyal customers. Mark endeavors to provide the same level of service and response, integrity and care that has kept the Austin Industrial Refrigeration trade name in Austin Texas for over 50 years.
