Marley's Story
The history of the Marley brand dates back to the creation of the Power Plant Equipment Company in Kansas City, Missouri in 1922. In the mid-1920s, the founders L.T. Mart and Chester Smiley had patented new spray nozzles and other inventions for spray ponds, taking into account this teamwork they decided to combine their surnames to identify these inventive products, thus the name "Marley" was born. But it was only in 1928 that it was legally incorporated as a company, which was then acquired, in 2001, by the SPX Corporation, better known today as SPX Cooling Technologies.
