Master-Bilt, manufacturer of a full line of premier commercial refrigeration systems, celebrates its 70th business anniversary. The company, founded in a three-car garage in St. Louis in 1938 with two friends producing refrigerated coolers for the 10-gallon milk cans used on dairy farms, is now a manufacturer of one of the most diverse ranges of refrigeration equipment available.

 

“Over the past 70 years, Master-Bilt has grown to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our customers,” says Bill Huffman, vice president of sales and marketing for Master-Bilt. Proof of that is the company’s new solution. Bill Huffman explains: “All of our walk-ins are made with excellent quality, but over time components can show wear and tear. We offer our customers the option of replacing refrigeration systems and entry doors without having to purchase a whole new unit.” Master-Bilt’s new retrofit program offers a variety of cost saving options to extend the life of any walk-in.

Customers can replace old or worn out refrigeration systems or individual compressors to improve performance.  Master-Bilt retrofit doors replace well-used or damaged doors, even those of competitors, to provide better insulation and aesthetics. Master-Bilt’s unique field adjustable hinge backing plates on walk-in cooler and freezer doors ensure a proper fit of the door during installation and retrofitting, reveals the company’s press release.
