Scotsman Industries - News & Events

VERNON HILLS, Ill., March 29, 2010 – National Football League Hall of Fame quarterback Bob Griese knows firsthand the important roles that focus, commitment and dedication all play in becoming a winner. That’s why he has long trusted Scotsman, the worldwide leader in ice systems, to provide the ice for his beverages.

Griese led the Miami Dolphins to two Super Bowl championships and a perfect season in 1972. His reputation for striving for excellence and perfection will help Scotsman promote its range of products to consumers. Griese has relied on Scotsman ice machines for more than 25 years, and currently enjoys the benefits of the company’s innovative new Brilliance™ Residential Ice Machine at his home.

Unlike typical freezer-made ice that can create a distinctive change in taste due to minerals in the water and absorbed odors, cubes made from the Brilliance ice machine will not change the flavor of a drink. Griese enjoys his beverages with Scotsman’s gourmet ice cubes that are crystal-clear, taste-free and odorless, that maintain the taste and integrity of every beverage.

“We are excited to welcome Bob Griese to the Scotsman team,” said Larry Lozar, Scotsman’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing Consumer Products. “Bob has been a loyal customer who knows firsthand the many advantages that our ice machines offer customers. Scotsman is the well-recognized leader and innovator in residential ice machines, and Bob will help enhance the visibility and reputation of our products among consumers, thereby accelerating growth of the Scotsman brand.”

The Brilliance Residential Ice Machine enables ice purists everywhere to enjoy exceptional iced drinks made with Scotsman’s gourmet ice, the crystal-clear cubes that have enhanced the beverage experience for over 40 years. The unit features a sleek, durable design that coordinates well with other appliances and, when installed with a custom wood front that matches the surrounding cabinetry, virtually disappears from view. It’s ideal for updating existing kitchens, bars, home entertainment centers and outdoor entertainment areas, as well as for use in new construction. Also the Brilliance ice machines are one of the quietest residential ice machines on the market.

In addition, the ice machine is one of the most energy-efficient cubers on the market. Not only does it produce more than 50 pounds of ice daily, but its innovative technology enables the unit to use less than half the energy and one-third the water of Scotsman’s previous residential models.

An electronic control panel clearly communicates the machine’s ice production status and maintenance needs. Dependable LED indicators let users know the machine is on and alerts them to a no-water condition, as well as informs them when it should be cleaned. The machine’s exclusive water-quality sensor adapts to varying water conditions by constantly measuring the water quality and automatically adjusting the purge water amount to minimize scale buildup in every type of water. This maximizes the time between cleanings for homeowners.

Scotsman Industries, Inc. is the largest global manufacturer of commercial ice machines with more than 300 models of ice machines, storage bins, ice and water dispensers, blast chillers, commercial refrigeration units and related products. The company distributes its products in more than 100 countries to a range of end market customers that include quick-serve and full service restaurants, hotels and hospitality venues, health care facilities, food retailers, and education, government and military facilities.
