Sub-Zero & Wolf Factory Tour: Part 3


Last month I was privileged to be invited to visit the Sub-Zero and Wolf headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin to tour their factories and get a sneak peek at new products they are rolling out. Let me tell you-it was quite the experience and not one I will soon forget! Here is a peek at the new products they are rolling out.


Sub-Zero is rolling out many new options for refrigeration, wine storage and freezer space. The variety of widths of all refrigeration units in 18”, 24”, 30” and 36”. Refrigerator and freezer combination drawers in the same widths for undercounter use. All of these units now have LED lighting to cut down on the heat inside a refrigerator and provide more of a pure color light. Wine storage units now available in tall units from 18”, 24” and 30” wide with options for a humidor, more precise temperature and humidity control.

 

Wolf’s new products include redesigned wall ovens with a new Verticross convection system, preset menus and touch screen controls. They also offer  a contemporary style that doesn’t have a handle but rather a touch latch opening device that allows for a clean, seamless look. Redesigned gas, electric and induction cooktops with finer controls and easier to clean components. Their newest and possibly most exciting reveal is a built in coffee system. Easy to clean with customized settings make this an item to seriously consider in your next project.

 

It truly was an incredible trip full of learning opportunities, new people and delicious food. If you are in Atlanta, make sure to stop by the fabulous Sub-Zero & Wolf showroom in Buckhead. They have all the products on the floor that you can touch and see and feel and often do cooking demonstrations. It would be well worth your time. If you see me out and about, feel free to stop me and ask me any questions about this trip or other things we have discussed or email me at Jessica@webbercoleman.com
