Polar King will unveil its all-new walk-in replacement doors, which will be available beginning in third quarter 2025. The walk-in replacement doors are manufactured to meet the same rigorous standards of Polar King but are offered in all standard industry widths, heights, and thicknesses.

In addition to the new replacement doors, Polar King, Polar Leasing and Polar King Mobile will be located at Booth No. 3500, where walk-in refrigerated and freezer units will be showcased.

Polar King Mobile will showcase a PKM612 refrigerated trailer unit designed for over-the-road cold storage solutions. This 6’x12’ trailer unit arrives E-Track ready and has a temperature range of -5°F to 50°F.

“There’s no show like NAFEM, which is why Polar King, Polar Leasing and Polar King Mobile are delighted to attend the expo and meet with foodservice industry’s best and brightest,” says Polar King President Dave Schenkel. “While we’re excited to showcase our cold storage solutions, we’re just as eager to see what other bright companies have created to help kitchens today and tomorrow.”

Polar King will be represented by general manager Barry Tippmann and director of sales Clint, as well as regional sales managers Patrick Smith and Dan Parsenow.

About Polar King International 

The introduction of the Polar King outdoor walk-in freezer into the food service industry resulted from three generations of walk-in refrigeration technology and experience. Polar King’s fiberglass, one-piece walk-in cooler is the natural evolution of the walk-in cold storage industry from the conventional metal panel constructed unit. In early 1982, Polar King began operations by constructing and shipping walk-ins from a modest 12,000 sq. ft. facility in New Haven, Indiana. As demand grew for outdoor fiberglass commercial walk-in coolers and commercial walk-in freezers, production was moved to a 251,200 sq. ft. facility located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. For 40 years, Polar King has provided thousands of walk-ins to single-unit operators, chain restaurants, schools, health care facilities, government agencies, and many other industries requiring dependable outdoor walk-in refrigeration.
