Although as a company it is now defunct, the name still exists as a brand name owned by Electrolux AB. Kelvinator was founded on September 18, 1914, in Detroit, Michigan, United States, by engineer Nathaniel B. Wales who introduced his idea for a practical electric refrigeration unit for the home to Edmund Copeland and Arnold Goss. Wales, a young inventor, secured financial backing from Arnold Goss, then secretary of the Buick Automobile company, to develop the first household mechanical refrigerators to be marketed under the name “Electro-Automatic Refrigerating Company. After producing a number of experimental models, Wales selected one for manufacturing. Kelvinator was among some two dozen home refrigerators introduced to the U.
Frustrated by iceboxes, the Grand Rapids Refrigerator Company introduced a porcelain lined “Leonard Cleanable” ice cabinet. Kelvinator began buying Leonard’s boxes for its electric refrigerated models. In 1926, the company acquired Leonard, which had been founded in 1881. Kelvinator concentrated its entire appliance production at the Grand Rapids factory in 1928.
