THE ROAD LESS TAKEN

Westye Bakke packs up his wife and two young children, and moves to Madison, Wisconsin in search of better opportunity.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

Frank Lloyd Wright, father of American Architecture Modernism, hires young Westye Bakke to help design custom refrigeration for his designed homes.

FRESH START

Westye launches Sub-Zero Freezer Company, introducing the first system for preserving food at ultra-low temperatures. Literally sub-zero.

"Everything we do, we do first-class, along with that, I think it has a lot to do with the pride we have in this company."

A REIMAGINED KITCHEN EXPERIENCE

No more fishy ice cubes. Sub-Zero pioneers dual refrigeration - separate, sealed systems for refrigerator and freezer - and invents the built-in category.

"It's not just a company that manufactures and sells products, it's about the quality and the detail that we put into the product."

ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS

Sub-Zero leads the way in making energy-efficient products. Today, the average Sub-Zero consumes less energy than a 75-watt light bulb.

"The biggest value that my grandfather and father instilled in the company, cornerstone of Sub-Zero, that is that we're a quality organization."

UNCOMPROMISING EXCELLENCE

Our aim is true. While other brands' temperatures fluctuate widely, Sub-Zero's award-winning 500 Series nails it within 1 degree for superior food preservation.

"We've kicked a lot of risks along the way, especially with the Integrated line. It was a product that didn't even exist in the industry before."

WHITES AND REDS

Cheers! Sub-Zero uncorks the first wine storage system that protects wines from UV light, vibration, and improper humidity.

"Jim's made a lot of terrific decisions. He's had to take some major risks in 2000 when he decided to go after and purchase Wolf…I think that's really helped us become the leader of appliances that we are."
