Until the departure of the US military from the Philippines, Coolaire was a major supplier to its air conditioning requirements. The bulk of Coolaire's projects then were with the U.S. military.

The latter years of 1970's saw Coolaire continue to win major contracts to supply McQuay and Carnes air conditioning equipment not only to the very strict and quality conscious U.S. military installations but also to local commercial building projects. Immediately in 1984, Coolaire positioned itself as a major supplier of refrigeration systems in support of the food manufacturing industry.

Coolaire became a major player in the ammonia and halocarbon refrigeration industry having supplied equipment to the different industrial plants of some of the country's biggest companies.


COOLAIRE CONSOLIDATED, INC. 1986 onwards

In 1986, the group decided to change the company operating status from a single proprietorship entity to a corporation. Thus, Coolaire Consolidated, Inc. was incorporated; to pave the way for its future growth and expansion plans. In 1989, Coolaire decided to re-involve itself with the construction industry, which was then starting to become more active and to position itself as a major player in time for the expected construction boom.

That same year, Coolaire organized its construction sales department, and upon careful evaluation of its strengths and capabilities, decided then to focus on the Fire Protection industry. This is in addition to the company's capability to design, supply and install air conditioning equipment, and provide for metal fabrication and erection works. This decision made Coolaire's Fire Protection Division the newest entrant in an industry dominated by three major players at the time. Coolaire then on, had the ability to be a single-source supplier to customers for air conditioning, fire protection and structural fabrication and erection projects, thereby expanding its capability to handle bigger projects.

In 1995, Coolaire-Fire Protection became the Philippine dealer for Ansul one of the world's biggest fire protection manufacturers specialized on petrochemical protections systems.
