23.09.11

MILWAUKEE, Sep 23, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Perlick Corporation, the leading manufacturer of commercial and residential total refrigeration, bar equipment, and beverage dispensing systems, announced today that, with the addition of a new outdoor bar area, the famed Iron Horse Hotel(TM) in Milwaukee, WI is the first hotel in the world to use Perlick products exclusively for its bar, restaurant and in-room needs.

"Perlick's business began in Milwaukee a century ago. It's astonishing that 100 years later Perlick's hand-crafted products are being used in a century old building, that, like Perlick, is the result of Milwaukee's Industrial Era," states Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Perlick's Residential and Hospitality Products, Jeff Wimberly. "Perlick is honored to be an integral part of a hotel that is quickly becoming a cultural icon."

Created from a 100-year-old warehouse, the Iron Horse Hotel was designed to embody the Milwaukee experience, while being environmentally conscience. Using green practices, the owner and developer of the property, Tim Dixon, preserved the distinct architecture and heavy timber construction of the original building, while reclaiming and reusing materials; thus, creating the perfect fusion of Industrial Era form and modern day function. Dixon's attention to being environmentally friendly, appreciation for quality, and dedication to effectively communicating the story of a city with a history steeped in manufacturing led him to the exclusive use of Perlick products for all of the award winning hotel's needs. "We chose to use Perlick because, like its history, the quality of Perlick's undercounter refrigeration and bar equipment is simply unmatched," states Dixon.
