About Amana (Whirlpool Corporation)
From the beginning, every Amana® brand product has been made with the same core philosophy:
to provide our customers with high-quality products that are reliable, meet their needs,
and last longer than the rest. And Amana keep that philosophy firmly in mind as Amana build our
industry-leading Amana® Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners (PTACs) and other heating and
cooling products. Whether you are in the hotel/hospitality industry or provide assisted
living services, Amana® PTACs are designed to simplify your business with plain-and-simple
product durability and advanced energy management features, while helping you to create
the best environmental experience possible for your customer. Keeping these promises is
top-priority through all stages of the production of Amana® PTACs, from idea development
through to finished product production. While Amana update the look of our Amana® PTACs
periodically, the components and internal assembly represent the result of a gradual
evolution from the first Amana® PTAC manufactured over 30 years ago. Amana focus on continual
product improvement; the only new product concepts that make the cut are those that deliver
valuable customer benefits.
Our engineers constantly conduct laboratory tests on the performance
of our products, stressing them to their limits and anticipating conceivable abuses.
More routine tests include the evaluation of fit and tolerances, durability tests of
hinges and handles, and "shake and impact" tests to insure the maintenance of
product integrity during shipping.
Amana maintain exceptionally high standards for
our suppliers and continually check their components to ensure quality, because
quality parts mean a quality product. During the assembly of our Amana® PTACs,
our quality control representatives carefully monitor each product coming down
the manufacturing line. In addition, a finished product is removed from that line every
hour and carefully evaluated to see that every nut, bolt and wire is securely in place
and every component is precisely assembled. Our diligent approach to quality is a point
of difference in Amana® products. Besides, it's just what you'd expect from an industry leader.

About Asko
In 1950, an enterprising young Swedish farmer named Karl-Erik Andersson
set out to build his mother a different kind of washer. A unique, energy-
and water-efficient machine that would reflect a farmer's love and respect
for nature. One with superior cleaning power and reliability that could
heat water, spin, and even boast durable, state-of-the-art, stainless
steel drums. A washing machine like no other. So the young farmer built
his amazing washer, surpassing even his meticulous mother's high standards.
Indeed, the results were so extraordinary, he was convinced to share his
creation with others. So he built a world-class engineering and manufacturing
facility right on the family farm — where it stands to this day — and a new
company was born. The company we now call ASKO.
Today, ASKO is an international corporation with a full line of high-performance
washers, dryers and dishwashers. ASKO appliances still do a better job of cleaning
with a fraction of the water, electricity and detergent of ordinary machines.
Every component is constructed of steel rather than plastic wherever possible.
And every ASKO product is still built with Scandinavian quality and environmental
sensitivity — just as Karl-Erik Andersson intended. In short, ASKO appliances are
some of the best-performing, most ecology-friendly, and longest lasting on earth.
Made especially for those — like a certain Swedish mother — who appreciate the
difference.

About Best by Broan
In the midst of the Great Depression, two aggressive young men emerged with two
new products that would make major contributions to the housing industry. In 1932,
Henry Broan developed and manufactured a kitchen fan called the Motordor® Fan that
provided quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation. His creation launched what is
today known as Broan-NuTone LLC. Four years later, in 1936, J. Ralph Corbett developed
a melodious door chime replacing the obnoxious door buzzer of the time. His development
launched what is today known as NuTone, Inc.
Both men, headquartered in the Midwest, started their companies with a simple product
and a few employees. Each expanded their companies, creating revolutionary new products
that provided unmatched conveniences for homeowners nationwide. Both quickly became
global companies and continued to provide innovative, superior products to meet
the needs of consumers.
In 1981, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. was acquired by Nortek, Inc. and became the lead company
of Nortek's Residential Building Products Group, which was named the Broan Group.
During this same time period, NuTone was sold to Scovill Manufacturing in 1967 and
was then acquired by Williams plc in 1991. In 1998, Nortek acquired NuTone, adding
it to the Broan Group and renaming the group the Broan-NuTone Group. Then, in January
2000, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. became Broan-NuTone LLC, with NuTone Inc., Aubrey Manufacturing,
Inc. and Rangaire LP as subsidiaries.
Today, Broan-NuTone LLC is headquartered in Hartford, Wis. and employs more than
3,200 people in six countries on three continents. It is North Americas largest
producer of residential ventilation products such as range hoods, ventilation fans
and indoor air quality products and also holds major market positions in chimes,
central vacuums, intercom systems, medicine cabinets, built-in electric heaters,
whole-house fans, attic ventilators, paddle fans, ironing centers, trash compactors
and speakers.
Broan-NuTone also manufactures private-label products for Sears, Whirlpool, GE and
other appliance leaders.
Broan® and NuTone® products are distributed through major retailers including Home
Depot, Lowes and Menards, as well as lumberyards, independent co-ops, mass merchants,
leading electrical and HVAC distributors and hardware stores throughout the United
States and Canada. Most recently, the Broan brand has been introduced to the European
marketplace.

About Capital
Capital's roots extend as far back as 1987, when an
appliance pioneer and two creative engineers came together to create a unique brand,
Dynamic Cooking Systems, Inc. or DCS. The three partners created a complete line
of indoor residential ranges, dual fuel ranges, and in 1990 the first ever high-end
stainless steel BBQ. They picked the most talented minds to engineer and manufacture
and sell their products and brought more high quality products to market quicker
than any other manufacturer.
Among these talented people handpicked to create DCS were the future founders of
Capital: Rich, Alejandro, Rafael, Raul and Porfirio.
While at DCS the five of us helped define the high-end appliance category with manufacturing
and marketing solutions that propelled DCS into the upper echelons of the professional
appliance world. With handcrafted quality, innovative features, and quality that
defied expectations, we helped make DCS a dominant force in the industry. We were
instrumental in the growth and prosperity of DCS throughout the 1990's.
But all good things come to an end. In the year 2000, after a venture capitalist
firm purchased DCS, and after the traditional values of handcrafted elegance, innovation,
and customer service, were replaced by new values of outsourcing, watching the bottom-line,
and cutbacks, the future five partners of Capital
found that their values of creating excellence was incompatible with the new DCS
philosophy. Rather than adopt this new "corporate" philosophy the five of us found
an opportunity to create a new company, Capital Cooking Equipment,
Inc. This new company would reintroduce the traditional values of innovation,
elegance, Performance and superior customer service.
We are proud to say that Capital continues the tradition
set forth by the leading pioneer in the high-end appliance industry, the original
founder of DCS whose innovative ideas, attention to detail, commitment to customers
was second to none. We have inherited these values and dedicated ourselves to building
a brand that stands for Performance and Elegance, handcrafted quality, and innovation
without the hype associated with most other high-end "professional" brands.
At Capital dedication towards our customers is our
core value and imbues every aspect of our performance, from product design to manufacturing,
sales and marketing to service and everything in between. We want to make it a pleasurable
and prestigious experience to own a Capital product.
That's why we work harder to ensure that everything we create bears the stamp of
our tradition of handcrafted quality, sublime elegance and of course Performance.

About Dacor
Cooking is an important part of family tradition here at Dacor.

About Frigidaire (Electrolux International Company)
The first electric refrigerator was offered for sale in 1913. In 1915, Alfred Mellowes
designed a new version of the original unit and in 1916 the Guardian Frigerator
Company was organized to manufacture Mellowes' refrigerator. General Motors saw
the potential of this company and purchased it in 1918 and gave it the name Frigidaire.
Mass production techniques were applied, production facilities were improved and
additional sales offices were opened. It was then that Frigidaire took off as a
company. Along the way, it has recorded quite a few "firsts" and contributed immensely
to the industry as a whole.

About General Electric (G.E.)
1876 was also the year that Thomas Alva Edison opened a laboratory in Menlo Park,
New Jersey, where he could explore the possibilities of the dynamo and other electrical
devices that he had seen in the Exposition. Out of that laboratory was to come perhaps
the greatest invention of the age - a successful incandescent electric lamp.
By 1890, Edison established the Edison General Electric Company by bringing his
various businesses together.
During that period, a competitor emerged. The Thomson-Houston Company became a dominant
electrical innovation company through a series of mergers led by Charles A. Coffin,
a former shoe manufacturer from Lynn, Massachusetts.
As both businesses expanded, it had become increasingly difficult for either company
to produce complete electrical installations relying solely on their own patents
and technologies. In 1892, the two companies combined. They called the new organization
the General Electric Company.
Several of Edison's early business offerings are still part of GE today, including
lighting, transportation, industrial products, power transmission, and medical equipment.
The first GE Appliances electric fans were produced at the Ft. Wayne electric works
as early as the 1890s, while a full line of heating and cooking devices were developed
in 1907. GE Aircraft Engines, the division's name only since 1987, actually began
its story in 1917 when the U.S. government began its search for a company to develop
the first airplane engine "booster" for the fledgling U.S. aviation industry. Thomas
Edison's experiments with plastic filaments for light bulbs in 1893 led to the first
GE Plastics department, created in 1930.
GE's leaders through the years have built a diverse portfolio of leading businesses;
a stream of powerful Company-wide initiatives that drives growth and reduces cost;
financial strength and Controllership that allow it to capitalize on opportunities
through numerous cycles; and a set of common values that allows it to face any environment
with confidence.

About Sub-Zero
In 1943, Westye F. Bakke built the first freestanding freezer in the basement of
his Madison, WI. home. A businessman with a keen ability to anticipate post-World
War II refrigeration trends, he founded Sub-Zero Freezer Company just two years
later in an old two-car garage. From its modest beginnings, Sub-Zero has become
what it is today: the recognized leading manufacturer of premium built-in home refrigerators.
Since its founding, Sub-Zero has pioneered quality products that meet its customers
needs. In the mid-1950s, for example, the company developed the built-in refrigerator
– a unit that changed the future of kitchen design by fitting within surrounding
counter and cabinet space. Over time, the company has refined its early concept
and has brought to market a comprehensive line of built-in models, including the
200 Series of undercounter models, its award-winning 500 Series, the design-flexible
600 Series, the integrated 700 Series, and, most recently, the state-of-the-art
400 Series of wine storage.
Indicative of the company's innovative engineering is its dual refrigeration system,
which relies on two separate, self-contained cooling systems to keep fresh food
fresher and preserve frozen food longer.
For 60 years, Sub-Zero has offered innovative, aesthetically appealing and technologically
advanced solutions to meet virtually any home refrigeration need. Through foresight
and responsiveness, the company has earned its position as an industry leader –
a position Sub-Zero intends to maintain well into the new millennium.

used) 50,000 square foot facility in the Bronx, NY, and in 1998 we acquired a 2nd
nearly 100,000 square foot facility that is now our headquarters, manufacturing
and distribution facility at 770 Garrison Ave. in the Bronx. Due to continued growth
we now lease additional facilities in Boston, MA; Northern, NJ and the Hartford,
CT area. We remain a private, family owned business, with no outside investors.
Our product line consists of over 600 models of specialty refrigerators and freezers
that serve a variety of markets, including household and commercial kitchens, specialized
compact products for offices, schools and foodservice establishments, medical storage
refrigerators and freezers, and hotel refrigerators and minibars. We also distribute
a line of over 100 household ranges, wallovens and cooktops - all made in the USA
- including a number of unique stainless steel models. Our product line is completed
by a large number of specialty appliances including microwave ovens, refrigerator-microwave
combinations, outdoor serving carts and refrigerators, beer dispensers, and wine
cellars.
In 2005, we trademarked the ACCUCOLD® brand name for a new line of scientific and
laboratory refrigerators and freezers with many unique features.

About Viking
Viking introduced professional cooking to the home when our first range shipped
in 1987. Now that same exceptional performance extends into every corner of the
kitchen – even the backyard. Refrigerators. Wine Cellars. Dishwashers. Grills. Cookware.
Cutlery. Small appliances. It's enough to turn any cook into a chef.
When people think of Viking, the bold, commercial look of the Professional Series
range is the image that most likely pops into their heads. Ultra-premium features
like high-performance burners, convection baking, and infrared broiling easily handle
everything from crème brûlée to rack of lamb. The legendary Viking range is available
in gas and electric models, as well as an array of sizes and finishes to fit any
kitchen.
And for those who want professional performance without the professional look, there
is the Designer Series. Clean lines and contours meld gracefully into cabinets with
style, offering a striking new look for Viking. Fully equipped with outstanding
features and power, this complete line of built-in products doesn't sacrifice any
of the world-renowned Viking performance for fashion's sake. Haute couture meets
haute cuisine.
Viking doesn't see the kitchen as a collection of products, but a complete cooking
environment. Cooking isn't a chore – it's an art form. Everything must work together
in form and function. Both the Professional and Designer lines deliver the ultimate
in performance with a cohesive look for the kitchen. Each line offers a full range
of products, so you don't have to resort to mixing and matching brands and styles.
Viking offers the truly consistent ultra-premium kitchen. The complete Viking kitchen
is complete perfection.
Although Viking is best known for our flagship ranges, we have brought the same
level of culinary excellence to every product in the kitchen. Built-in products
marry performance with convenience. And our ventilation systems offer the perfect
complement to our cooking products. Our assortment of refrigeration products ensure
the practicing gourmet always has ample cold storage for fresh ingredients and refreshments.
Cleanup products quietly tackle the post-party chores. And our outdoor kitchen raises
the art of barbecuing to fantastic new heights.
Viking not only provides everything you need to cook on, but everything you need
to cook with. Our cutlery and cookware are meticulously crafted to meet the standards
of the world's finest chefs. And Viking small appliances manage to fit professional
performance onto the countertop. When we say the complete Viking kitchen, we mean
it. Completely.

About Wolf
An Ideal Marraige
When Sub-Zero Freezer Company acquired Wolf in March 2000, kitchen design insiders
uttered a collective "Aha!" It just made sense, this marriage of ice and fire, cold
and hot. Sub-Zero and Wolf are complementary expressions of a single idea: the steadfast
refusal to compromise. They are the brands for people who will have nothing less
than the kitchen they have always wanted — an uncompromised kitchen.
Heritage Meets Heritage
Sub-Zero is the enduring symbol of the possibilities of what a kitchen can be, Wolf
the symbol of all that the kitchen can do. Founded in 1945 and now in its third
generation of family ownership and management, Sub-Zero forever changed kitchen
design with the exceptional quality, beauty and innovative technology of its equipment.
For more than 70 years, Wolf has been synonymous with professional cooking equipment
for restaurants and hotels. Now, as part of Sub-Zero, the Wolf line has been adapted
for the serious in-home cook. With their superior performance and leading-edge design,
Wolf instruments fuel a passion for cooking.
Compromise? Never.
Every product bearing the Wolf name was designed from the ground up to give the
user ultimate control and cooking confidence. Each new Wolf instrument is tested
not merely to meet but to exceed industry standards, and each is backed by one of
the best warranties in the business. In design, manufacturing and customer service,
Wolf accepts no compromise, and neither should you.
