Vent-A-Hood, the company that created the modern residential range hood, is celebrating its 75th anniversary. “Being the first to create or define an industry is a significant achievement,” said Blake Woodall, director of sales for Vent-A-Hood. “But a much greater milestone is being at the very top of your game 75 years later.” When the company opened in 1933, the indoor range hood was a novel idea. Employees sold products door-to-door and returned to the manufacturing plant where each order was then made by hand. Booth: S6064.
