These famous names have very strict standards that must be met for both cooling performance and energy efficiency.

A family history of Industrial Innovation
In the 19th Century, the great Grandfather of Blastcool’s owner made his way from Germany and set up business in Sheffield. Sir Joseph Jonas established a steelworks that went on to employ over 2500 people. At the heart of the success of the business was a new process for rolling steel and the brand name “Novo Superior” became synonymous with innovation and high quality.
Such was the success of the company, that Sir Joseph became one of the major benefactors to Sheffield University and his generous donations contributed substantially to its formation at the outset and then later to its pre-eminence in engineering.
