Founded by Phil Rankin in 2012, Cleveland-based EvenMix designs and builds industrial mixers for IBC totes, drums, and tanks. Its patented variable-pitch folding blade, developed with input from a NASA engineer, creates vertical and horizontal circulation so liquids mix in three dimensions rather than simply stirring. EvenMix performs all manufacturing in the United States, with all but two of the more than 100 components in its drives sourced domestically, primarily from the Midwest.
