of SUB-ZERO Appliance
This year marks the 75th birthday of one of the most storied brands in American manufacturing.
Sub-Zero began as an engineering challenge for Westye F. Bakke – he wanted to find a better and more consistent and dependable way to store his young son Bud’s Insulin due to his juvenile diabetes.
At the time, Bakke couldn’t find any freezers able to reliably and consistently preserve food and medicine at sub-zero temperatures.
The Sub-Zero Freezer Company was officially formed on August 20, 1945, in Madison, Wisconsin.

The first prototype:
On the 1st September 1943, despite material shortages imposed by World War II, Westye F. Bakke built the first-ever freestanding freezer prototype using salvaged scrap metal. Residential refrigerators at the time only had ice cube compartments, with no ability to deep freeze foods for extended use.

Home Freezing:
In 1945, 2 years after the first prototype, Bakke registered the Sub-Zero Freezer Company as an official corporation. The Sub-Zero freezer becomes the first home freezer to meet the strict new standards for safe home freezing and from that moment on believed in the traditional value of quality over quantity. Westye would say, "Quality is going to be the cornerstone of this company," says president and CEO Jim Bakke (Westye's grandson).

Two in One Dual Refrigeration:
In 1955, Sub-Zero introduced their fridge freezers with dual refrigeration, ensuring fridge and freezer foods are safely preserved in separate, sealed systems.
Matching Appliances:
In the late 1950s, there was a high demand for kitchen appliances that were homogenous with the overall kitchen design and furniture. Designers became fascinated with the concept of a seamless ‘total kitchen’. In response, Sub-Zero pioneered some first appliances designed to match the cabinetry and decor of the individual home kitchen.

1955
1960s — To Sub-Zero, design has always been as important as engineering, leading the company to develop built-in and cabinet-flush refrigerators, making the refrigerator a kitchen design element rather than a functional but unattractive freestanding box.
Built-in Appliances Take the Lead: On the 1st September 1967, Built-in refrigerators became Sub-Zero’s best-selling model, comprising approximately 70% of all sales.
Developing the Line: Bakke’s son, Bud, works with designer Bob Kelly to improve upon all the Sub-Zero models, sourcing better interior lighting and creating the freezer drawers that we all use today.

Furniture Integration:
In the 1960s Sub-Zero continued to pave the wave the way for home appliance design. On the 1st September 1964, Sub-Zero launched a line of refrigerators that could be integrated into bar counters, dining room furniture and even living room tables.

Energy-Efficient Appliances
Sub-Zero began to focus on a bright idea: energy-efficient appliances. Today, sustainability and energy efficiency remain pillars of our manufacturing and product design, with the average Sub-Zero unit consuming less energy than a 75-watt light bulb.
All-Aluminum Freezer
In 1972, Westye Bakke handed the company reins to son Bud Bakke, who spearheaded the creation of a new, lightweight, all-aluminum freezer – an upright model with separate inside doors rather than a top-opening chest freezer. He also led development of the built-in refrigerator unit, which changed the future of kitchen design by fitting within surrounding counter and cabinet space.
Family Business
In the 80s and 90s, third-generation family member, Jim Bakke, continues to lead Sub-Zero into the future. The new appliances are designed with electric controls and Sub-Zero adds wine coolers to its growing portfolio.

In Its Third Generation Of Family Ownership
One reason for this quality and durability, is that every Sub-Zero model is proudly made in The U.S.A., either their flagship factory out of Fitchburg, Wisconsin. Sub-Zero has two other factories that are located in Goodyear, Arizona and Richmond, Kentucky.
Jim Bakke, president and CEO of Sub-Zero Group, Inc. — "Since my grandfather, Westye F. Bakke, established the company, it has operated on the belief that if you make the highest-quality product, you'll always have customers. Since the beginning, we've been dedicated to making quality products, in the USA, in direct response to homeowners' needs. We've done this for 70 years, and we'll continue to do so for the next 70 years."

Prolong Food Life. Two Compressor And Condensers Are Better Than One.
The difference in what has made Sub-Zero so unique compared to its competitors is how they have pioneered the dual refrigeration technology. What this means is that Sub-Zero has two beefy compressors and condensers. This technology creates the best atmosphere and optimal preservation conditions for fresh and frozen food. The cool, moist air of the refrigerator keeps food fresher and lasting longer, while the frigid, dry air of the freezer prevents frost and freezer burn. This creates a true freezer and refrigerator system that does not allow the air to be shared between the two as they are sealed off from one another.
Sub-Zero pioneered a dual refrigeration system with separate cooling systems for the refrigerator and freezer. This prevents hasty spoilage of fresh food and minimizes freezer burn.

Seals In The Cold. Microprocessor Controlled System.
The very doors on a Sub-Zero refrigerator are made with preservation in mind. The seals are so secure that some owners report no thawing of frozen foods after multi-day power outages.
The microprocessor controls the interior temperature to within one degree of its set point. Having this accurate and consistent temperature is key to preserving your food. This technology along with the magnetic doors and superior seal system on Sub-Zero units prevents leaks and also saves energy. The seal system is so good that customers have reported their frozen food still frozen after days of a power outage.

NASA Technology
Sub-Zero has a very unique air purification system that was inspired by NASA. This filter scrubs the air inside the fridge every 20 minutes to remove odors, mold, viruses, bacteria, and most importantly the dreaded enemy of produce, ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is a natural compound that is released from ripening produce that spoils other produce.
Style Icon
Through the years, Sub-Zero has expanded its design leadership with integrated refrigeration that blends in seamlessly with your decor. Your kitchen can be anything you imagine thanks to the countless choices of Sub-Zero.
Our innovative built-in design approach impressed legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who commissioned Sub-Zero appliances for the visionary homes he designed.

Appliances Are Designed To Last A Minimum Of 20 Years
Every Sub-Zero is made to last at least 20 years and thoroughly tested before leaving the factory. Their customers can easily back up this claim, and they do so proudly, as there are still so many models in homes from 20 years ago that are still working. In fact, if you do some digging, you’ll find customers with Sub-Zero models over 30 and 40 years old, still preserving and keeping their groceries fresh!
