Custom Coils,
Inc. was incorporated in Texas on July 19, 1971. Gerhard Dankowski, a
Dallas businessman, founded the company, along with a sister company – Coil
Co, Inc., as a subsidiary of The Anvil Corporation. The purpose of these
companies, along with several others, was to supply component parts such as
coils to his other operation, Danhard Incorporated. Danhard manufactures
aftermarket and specialty air conditioning systems. The market focus then
was automotive. Automobile add-ons, heavy truck, passenger buses, and
replacement coils for OEM models were the main thrust of sales.
Operations began in late 1971 in a 15,000 square foot building on the north
side of Jacksonville, Texas. The production capabilities of Custom Coils,
Inc. quickly grew larger than the parent company’s needs, so sales were
expanded to other manufacturers in the Dallas-Ft Worth area. With steady
growth, the facility was able to acquire additional equipment and the
original building was doubled in size. In the early 1980’s sales were mainly
mobile in nature. Recognizing the need to diversify its customer base, a
concerted effort was made to grow into the HVACR market. Sales
representatives were signed up to actively pursue that portion of the
market.
US Holdings Group purchased the company in 1986. Sales grew continuously
during the 1980’s and 90’s. The additional sales brought about the need for
more space and equipment. In 2000 the facility was enlarged to its present
size of 45,000 square feet.
