Six International Web Presences, One Brand
EVAPCO, Inc. is an industry leading manufacturing company with global resources and solutions for worldwide heat transfer applications. EVAPCO designs and manufactures the highest quality products for the evaporative cooling and industrial refrigeration markets around the world.
Its clients are supported through EVAPCO’s manufacturing facilities and sales offices strategically located around the world. Headquartered in Taneytown, Maryland, EVAPCO manufactures products in 23 locations in 10 countries and supplies them through a sales network of more than 170 offices.
EVAPCO’s legacy website, built on Drupal 6, was nearing end of life and was no longer meeting modern user expectations. EVAPCO also experienced inconsistent branding throughout its six international web presences including:
- Evapco.com
- Evapco.co.za
- Evapco.com.br
- Evapco.eu
- Evapco.com.au
- Evapcoasia.com
EVAPCO turned to the web design and development experts at Unleashed Technologies to migrate its legacy content to a stronger, more flexible CMS and add innovative functionality to improve user experience.
Unleashed Technologies and EVAPCO collaborated on a comprehensive digital transformation for the company to revitalize its website’s design and functionality. As part of this process, Unleashed Technologies addressed EVAPCO’s key objectives including responsive design, intuitive site navigation, and consistent branding throughout all international web presences.
EVAPCO selected Drupal 8 for its new CMS in order to take advantage of best-in-breed open source technology.
The new evapco.com now features:
Drupal 8 CMS: A migration from EVAPCO’s existing Drupal 6 content management system to Drupal 8, offering the organization flexibility and scalability for the future.
Customized Search Database: The “Find a Representative” search functionality allows online visitors to locate the nearest EVAPCO sales representative by geographical location.
Quick Links Tab: A quick links tab customizes the user experience by tracking click history to bring up visited pages and offering related and relevant pages the user may be interested in.
Vast Document & Drawing Library: Provides resources such as catalogs, mechanical specifications, engineering bulletins, white papers, and case studies as well as drawing CAD files and 3D models.
International Menu: With six international web presences, EVAPCO now features an international menu to help visitors easily navigate between worldwide websites
The new evapco.com website now offers a more on-target brand experience and engages with visitors like never before.
Visitors enjoy the convenience of a responsive design where they can seamlessly navigate the site from any device. In addition, user experience is more intuitive with focused site navigation and easy-to-find product solutions and services.
As for EVAPCO administrators, content is now easily maintained by location with the security of tiered access and analytics properties were also set up to better track worldwide website metrics.
This initiative has confirmed Unleashed Technologies as an integral partner of EVAPCO. Unleashed Technologies is honored to have also earned EVAPCO’s hosting business and will continue to roll out other initiatives for the manufacturing giant in the next couple of months.

We’ve dealt with a number of companies for web and application development, and Unleashed is at the top of the heap. One of the things I like about Unleashed is they’re not so big that you feel like you’re just another ticket in their system. Unleashed is just a great fit for us.
