==== In 2006, Port-A-Cool portable evaporative cooling units were manufactured General Shelter of Texas, a company located in Texas, U.S.A., established in 1985 as a manufacturer of portable offices. In 2007, the division manufacturing Port-A-Cool portable evaporative cooling units was purchase by The Rosewood Corporation. Formerly known as General Shelters of Texas, then split into two companies. General Shelters of Texas remained under the ownership of James Campbell, the original founder of General Shelter of Texas and a lifelong resident of Center, Texas. Port-A-Cool, LLC, was then established under the ownership of The Rosewood Corporation and remained under their ownership until 2012, when it was sold to The Walter Meier Group and thus became a member of their group of manufacturers, focusing mainly on cooling and HVAC products. Both General Shelters of Texas and Port-A-Cool, LLC, remained in Center, Texas, after the split and subsequent purchases. The small town of Center, Texas (Population 5,777 as of May 22, 2012) is located 30 minutes from Nacogdoches in East Texas and about halfway between the metropolitan cities of Dallas and Houston, Texas. Port-A-Cool, LLC, continues to manufacturer Port-A-Cool portable evaporative cooling units and Kuul pads evaporative cooling media. While under the ownership of The Rosewood Group, the company added a line of smaller evaporative cooling units, called KuulAire, intended for personal cooling of homes and offices. The company also added another product line called Port-A-Cool Parts, that supplies replacement parts and accessories for all their product lines. This arm of the company supplies popular, high quality parts like PUMP-016-4R and Kuul Pads replacement media and houses the bulk of that inventory in their manufacturing facility.
