Acme Refrigeration Supplies was founded on June 7, 1946 by Harry A. Dawson Sr. In 1981 Harry A. Dawson retired and appointed his sons Michael Dawson and Andrew Dawson President and Vice-president respectfully.
Acme Refrigeration supplies now has 8 branches in southeast Louisiana. The headquarters is located in New Orleans with full stocked branches in Harvey, Metairie, Laplace, Slidell, Houma, Baton Rouge and Hammond. The Baton Rouge and Hammond branches operate under the Atlas Refrigeration name.
Because of the Dawson family's years of experience they became distributors for many of the leaders in the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration industry including Copeland (since 1946), Rheem (since early 70s), Tappan (since late 80s), Chandler- A Division of Heatcraft, and Honeywell Refrigerants etc just to name a few.
The rapidly changing refrigeration and air conditioning business requires 24 Hour emergency service, Product Availability, Technical Assistance, Application Support, and Dealer Development. The Dawson family has been successful in maintaining a home like work environment that keeps employees and customers happy. Many employees have been with Acme for over 25 years. The four people in the outside sales group alone have over 100 years of total experience with Acme. The Dawson family is currently on its third generation of serving customers in this industry.
All branches use state of the art computers to have access to the latest internet information provided by their key vendors. The inventory control system is second to none. The system uses historical usage, manufacturers lead times, and generous safety allowances to drive the reordering system keeping stock outages to a minimum.
