About
Sub-Zero & Wolf is a third-generation, family-run business, founded in 1945 in Wisconsin, USA, by Westye Bakke. Bakke pioneered new, safer standards of freezing, achieving consistent, below-zero temperatures for the very first time. His mission to build the best refrigeration system possible was a resounding success, and Sub-Zero & Wolf has gone on to become an esteemed badge of quality associated with some of the world’s finest homes.In 2000, Sub-Zero’s co-brand ‘Wolf’ launched its first cooking appliances, after purchasing the residential arm of a 70-year-old US commercial cooking company and redesigning the product range from the ground up. Fourteen years later came the ‘New Generation’ range: The biggest product roll-out in the company’s history; including coffee machines, convection steam ovens, and a new series of integrated wine storage and refrigeration. More recently, outdoor products such as outdoor BBQs, burner modules, warming drawers and undercounter refrigeration have also been added to the collection, opening up a world of epicurious possibilities. These iconic stainless steel, grille-topped and red-knob appliances have become the go-to for professional chefs and home cooks alike.The values and ethos that Sub-Zero & Wolf was built on over 75 years ago still stand today: the very best materials, innovative design and technology, and uncompromising service. In 2025, we proudly celebrate our 80th anniversary, a milestone that reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence and responsibility.Sustainability is now at the heart of every decision we make. Over 75% of the stainless steel and up to 50% of the plastic used in our refrigeration units comes from recycled materials. At the end of 2022, we completed another key project — installing over 250KW of solar panels on the roof of our UK headquarters, further advancing our environmental vision for the future.Build quality, manufacturing, performance and longevity of all products are all paramount. Sub-Zero & Wolf appliances are all hand-built and designed to last for decades. The brand continues its pursuit of bringing best-in-class appliances, beautiful designs, and memorable moments to luxury homes, yachts and private jets around the world.www.subzero-wolf.co.uk
