BENTON HARBOR,
Mich., June 28,
2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Whirlpool Corporation, the
world's leading manufacturer of major home appliances, will
introduce several innovative new products to the builder industry
at the PCBC conference June 28 – 29
in San Diego.
"Purposeful innovation is a core competency at Whirlpool
Corporation," said Bob Bergeth,
general manager of Contract Builder Sales at Whirlpool Corporation.
"We're proud to showcase our culture of innovation at PCBC by
introducing products that will transform the way consumers cook and
clean. Show attendees will also have the opportunity to meet a few
of the creative minds that developed these products."
Featured products at the Whirlpool Corporation booth
(#2012) include:
The Whirlpool® Sunset Bronze Kitchen Suite,
bringing to market a breakthrough, warm-tone, painted stainless
steel suite. The new line pushes design standards, achieving a
timeless and approachable finish that fits any kitchen aesthetic –
new or existing. The color, which is achieved by color blocking
painted stainless steel, is a perfect blend of gold, copper and
bronze tones. The new collection is also fingerprint-resistant, so
families can enjoy this versatile new finish that also reduces the
visibility of pesky smudges. The Sunset Bronze Kitchen Suite is
expected to be in-market this fall.
Sunset Bronze isn't the only new color finish making its
debut at PCBC. Builders can also experience the Whirlpool®
Fingerprint Resistant Black Stainless Steel Kitchen Suite at
the show. The fingerprint resistant matte black finish is designed
to create a space that reflects personal taste, hides fingerprints,
smudges and daily wear and easily wipes clean. The rich metallic
black in a soft, brushed, matte finish allows for a neutral canvas
in the most important room in the house.
"We're blurring the line between furniture and machine in
our designs," said Jason Tippetts,
Global Brands Design Manager at Whirlpool Corporation.
"Satin and matte finishes help builders blend with other materials
in the kitchen, creating continuity from surface to surface. This
is especially important because the kitchen has integrated into
families' living spaces and is truly the hub of the
home."
Other featured Whirlpool Corporation products on display
at the show include:
The award-winning Whirlpool® Fingerprint Resistant
