Our History

Anyone quizzically admiring your Sub-Zero or Wolf equipment may appreciate a little history.

You can tell them how Wisconsin entrepreneur Westye F. Bakke made it his mission over 60 years ago to design the ultimate in refrigeration. Add that he perfected the storage of frozen food at ultra-low temperatures, hence Sub-Zero. And mention that his talents were recognized by one of the godfathers of modern design, Frank Lloyd Wright – who commissioned Sub-Zero units for his legendary buildings.

Or tell them that Wolf equipment has been put to the test for over 70 years in the kitchens of the finest restaurants. Built to withstand the rigors of the professional kitchen and the fragile temperaments of top chefs, this uncompromising equipment is the very least you could settle for.

Alternatively you could keep quiet and let the equipment, hand-built in America, speak for itself.

Sub-Zero

The refrigeration specialists

Refrigeration that really is twice as good. Most refrigerators circulate the super dry cold air from the freezer, through the refrigerator and back to the freezer again. So the air that is freezing your salmon is wafting over your radicchio leaves. Not good.

Sub-Zero believes that each compartment should have its own independent, climate-controlled air to keep food fresh and untainted. The two-compressor, dual refrigeration system in every Sub-Zero refrigeration unit means that no air, moisture or unwanted aromas pass between the refrigerator and the freezer. Which means that all your food tastes just like it should.

Wolf

The cooking specialist

From the very first glance you can tell that Wolf cooking equipment has been built to do a job. Solid steel, rugged knobs, formidable burners. Mind you, if you’d been subjected to 70 years of demands from professional chefs, you’d feel qualified to cook pretty much anything that came your way. And that’s exactly what Wolf cooking equipment does. To perfection.

Wolf advanced technology will never overwhelm but rather make it easier and more enjoyable to prepare delicious meals. In addition to the sophisticated exteriors and striking cobalt blue oven interiors you will find that the settings, the precise temperature control, and the features are all designed to get the results you want.
