| Estes Refrigeration, Inc. was started in 1953 by Peter Doninelli and Palmer Estes as a commercial refrigeration company specializing in commercial refrigeration service. Customers in the early days of Estes included restaurants, grocery stores and food distributors.
In 1986 Peter Doninelli’s son, Michael, bought out Palmer Estes to become the Owner and President. Since Michael took over the company in 1986, Estes has grown revenue by more than 10 times. The business of Estes has changed as well, no longer is Estes just a commercial refrigeration service company. While still focused on refrigeration, today, Estes is broken into four divisions; Construction, Life Sciences, Service and Environmental.
With the growth has come a change in the customer base as well, from local grocery stores and restaurants to some of the largest companies in the world located from coast to coast. No longer is Estes just a local commercial refrigeration service company.
About the only thing that has not changed since 1953 is our commitment to delivering the highest level of products and services along with excellent customer service. |
