[Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)](https://support.aofrio.com/your-aofrio-account?hsLang=en#frequently-asked-questions-faq) August 20, 2025 # What’s the relationship between AoFrio and Wellington Drive? ## Wellington Drive is the original name of our company. It was best known for making energy-efficient motors and fans used in commercial refrigeration. On 20 September 2022, we changed our company name to AoFrio Limited to better reflect what we do today. While we still make fans and motors under the Wellington brand, AoFrio now focuses more broadly on smart technology—like Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and cloud-based software for the global food and beverage industry. As our CEO Greg Balla explained at the launch of AoFrio: “We’ve evolved into a hardware-enabled SaaS company. This rebrand helps us show the world that we’re more than just motors—we’re delivering smart, connected technologies that help our customers grow and save energy.” So, if you see the Wellington logo at a trade show or in a reseller catalog, it’s likely referring to our fans and motors. For everything else—like our software, sensors, and cloud platform—you’ll see the AoFrio logo, or sometimes iQ, which is the name of our cloud platform. ### AoFrio logos |   ![AoFrio logo - long form](https://support.aofrio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/AoFriologo.png?width=403&height=101&name=AoFriologo.png) |   ![AoFrio logo -
