About Us

KASCO is the premier manufacturers representative agency serving heating, ventilating,
air conditioning, and refrigeration Wholesalers in the Midwest.

Ken Skinner, a Boeing engineer, founded KASCO in 1960 with an entrepreneur’s spirit.
After many ventures, such as uranium mining in Arkansas, he decided that selling
through an agency was his future. He resigned from Boeing and started Ken’s
Associates. In the late 1960’s he began representing his first HVAC line, Malco
Products. In 1979 Tim Chilen joined Ken as his salesman in the Kansas City market
area. In 1985 Ken retired and Tim began running the agency. At that time Mark
Courington joined the agency followed in consecutive years by Kevin Smith and Mike
Poholsky. In 1988 the name was changed to KASCO. Angela Cunningham began
working in 1994 followed Randy Cowan in 1998.

KASCO has evolved into a full service agency with salesmen in the field to
support distributors sales and marketing efforts. Our central office is
designed for distributor sales support and to meet all your customer
service needs.
