With a legacy spanning more than 80 years, Sub-Zero Group, Inc. has established itself as the industry leader in luxury kitchen appliances for cooking, refrigeration and dishwashing, setting the standard for design excellence, technological innovation, and performance. As a third-generation, family-owned company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, Sub-Zero Group’s iconic brands—Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove—are trusted in some of the world’s most distinguished homes. With manufacturing facilities across Wisconsin, Arizona, and Iowa, the company continues to be recognized for its steadfast commitment to quality, customer service, and forward-thinking innovation.
What truly sets Sub-Zero Group apart is its purpose-driven approach to manufacturing. As a privately held organization, the company prioritizes enduring values over short-term gains, ensuring that decisions are guided by quality, people, and product longevity. This philosophy is evident in every aspect of the business—from the meticulous design of its appliances to the thoughtful construction of its facilities and the intentional support of its workforce.
Nowhere is this approach more tangible than at the company’s Cedar Rapids facility. Designed with long-term growth in mind, the site blends advanced manufacturing capabilities with innovative sustainability features, including an ice-based thermal energy storage HVAC system that reduces peak energy demand. Just as important, the facility reflects Sub-Zero Group’s deep commitment to culture—fostering an environment centered on collaboration, problem-solving, and pride in craftsmanship. This unique combination of operational excellence, environmental responsibility, and a people-first mindset distinguishes Sub-Zero Group as a leader in American manufacturing.
This commitment to the future will be on full display as Sub-Zero Group celebrates the grand opening and ribbon cutting of its Cedar Rapids facility on May 22, 2026—a milestone that underscores both the company’s continued growth and its enduring investment in the communities it calls home.
