History

The company was founded in 1992 after Francisco Guerra, a Cuban native who emigrated to the United States as a child, utilized a system for producing artificial snow to use in his magic shows. Guerra developed a 98% water and 2% surfactant solution which evaporates shortly after touching the ground, known as Evaporative SnowTM. as well as machines to distribute the substance in various forms. Snowmasters has subsequently branched into other products, including fog, cryo, foam, smoke effects and bubble machines.
