The Master story begun in United States of America over 50 years ago. The first heater was manufactured in 1954 in Dayton Ohio, which was manufacturing also the other construction equipment.


The first heaters didn't use nozzles, which was replaced by fiber pad to drop the oil on. Later, when the nozzle was developed, the first kerosene outdoor heater was launched with the steel four blade pump mounted on the front of the motor. It was developed by Gene Brigg who was the Director of Engineering then.

Since that time, the design and construction of the heaters still continued to be improved and was getting more and more popular. Also the demand for more possible operations capabilities was growing up and resulted in building in 1964 a new plant in Bowling Green, which was supposed to manufacture only heaters. Master brand became more known throughout the United States. Also from the very beginning the Master products were sold only by construction distributors and it is still continued.
