Refrigerator Adaptations
Cold-aire manufactures refrigerators from its facilities in the United States and China and ships them to retail stores around the world. Kitchen sizes vary around the world, and as a result, refrigerator sizes must vary as well. U.S. retailers want large refrigerators, while European and Asian retailers demand smaller units. Cold-aire manufactures over 20 different sizes and models of refrigerators, which often vary in size by only a few inches.
