About Us & Our History

Three Decades of Keeping Australia Cool

From our home on Queensland's beautiful Sunshine Coast, we're proud to be Australia's leading brand in fibreglass iceboxes and portable 12-volt fridge freezers. For nearly 30 years, we've been helping Aussies enjoy the great outdoors without the melt. Discover why EvaKool is the ultimate choice for your outdoor adventures.

A Bit About EvaKool

Our story began in 1994 with a classic Aussie dilemma: How do you keep your ice from melting while enjoying our great outdoors? Born out of this need, EvaKool's original fibreglass icebox transformed the traditional plastic cooler from a short-term solution to an ice-retaining marvel. We soon expanded our range to meet overwhelming demand, providing quality and durable solutions for fishers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts across Australia.

Our History

    1994: The Genesis

    In a Sunshine Coast shed, EvaKool and Baileys have a vision to redefine Aussie outdoor cooling with Australian-made fibreglass iceboxes.

    Advertised as 'keeps ice up to 10 days'. Our hand-crafted fibreglass iceboxes start the journey that'd make us a go-to for keeping your tinnies cold and Australian adventures cooler.

  • 1998: The Icebreaker

    Evakool debuts our first 12-volt fridges, the SupaKool 47 and 60 litre models, made in Caloundra by marrying our legendary fibreglass iceboxes to Australian-made micro compressors.

    Ice becomes optional. A new chapter for Aussie adventures!

  • 2000: The Retrofit Revolution

    In the new millennium EvaKool integrates the ultra-reliable Danfoss compressor for our iconic RF (Retro-Fit) Series. Its 'outboard' refrigeration delivers superior performance and serviceability.

    Over 23 years and more than 66,000 fridges later the EvaKool RF series is still the gold standard in reliability and efficiency for serious outdoor adventures.

  • 2001: The Fibreglass Frontier

    EvaKool launches the FridgeMate, a world-first passive dual-zone fridge featuring a budget friendly but still high performance rotomoulded cabinet that opens up access to our amazing 12v fridges.

    FridgeMates are also made in Caloundra and the booming 4x4 and marine markets love it. A stalwart of the EvaKool lineup for over 15 years - check out this review of its performance over NINE years for one proud owner!

  • 2008: Custom Fridge Extravaganza

    EvaKool takes listening to our customers to the extreme. We'll build anything you can dream up.

    In the process of building over 100 'once-off' 12v cooling units EvaKool learns more about fridges than anyone. We carry this knowledge (and samples in our company museum) to this day!

    EvaKool makes its first ventures to China for fridge manufacturing and introduced the KM fridges, BCD uprights, plus the premium Indel B range.

  • 2012: Dual-Zone Dawn & Digital Shift

    EvaKool launches budget friendly, dual-lid, true dual-zone fridges.

Hear It From the Legends: Real Stories of Adventure and Comfort

I’ve not long had my 95 litre Evakool 95 litre, but so far I’m very impressed. It’s a lot of fridge / freezer for what I paid.

After spending substantial time and effort of some teething issues my 47l Explorer Fridge Freezer is now working like a charm. I'm really pleased that I went for a reasonably priced Aussie product rather than mass produced importers.

The new Evakool Downunder Series II is a brilliant unit. Low power draw, flexible cooling options easy to use. I had a small cosmetic issue with my unit upon delivery just before heading off on a trip. Came back from my trip, paid a visit to Evakool and they just replaced the unit with a new one. Just brilliant!! Both the fridge and the service are outstanding.
