Our True Refrigeration Top Picks
What is True Refrigeration?
In 1945, Robert Trulaske and his family designed the first-ever commercial refrigerators in their backyard. True has become one of the most trusted luxury refrigerator brands in commercial refrigeration, leading the industry with more than 60 years of experience with that same innovation and passion. Committing to innovation, performance, sustainability, and value, True has manufactured a wide range of best-in-class refrigeration systems that have been designed with attention to quality and durability with its 304-grade stainless steel inter exteriors. A True fridge is reliable, energy-efficient, and long-lasting thanks to its quality components, R920 hydrocarbon refrigeration systems, and patented True technology like a precision control panel or a TruLumina LED lighting.
