Our Story

KASCO IS FOUNDED
Marina owner, Bill Skluzacek, developed a de-icing unit to prevent ice from damaging boats in the water over winter. His innovation catches the attention of marina-goers, and Kasco is born.

MOVING IN
Operations moved to a phone-switching building in St. Croix Beach, MN, and Kasco hired a full-time staff. This building was used as the main office for 15 years.

SAVING THE WHALES
Kasco traveled to Alaska with our De-icers to help rescue whales stuck underneath the ice. The De-icers were able to keep areas of ice open, allowing the whales to swim to safety. The story gained national media attention.
