A Reputation Built on Integrity and Dependability
From a humble beginning to a third generation business. Founder, Andy Barilla, always believed that “If you always put the customer first, everything else will fall in line”. Since 1954, Barilla Refrigeration still attributes this simply philosophy to the success of the business.
The history of this company dates back to 1954 when Andy Barilla, an entrepreneur with a passion for equipment sales, began serving as a territory operator for Dari Delight. His initial territory included Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, which he quickly expanded to encompass 37 states, eventually becoming the Vice President of Dari Delight.
In 1982, Duane Barilla took over the reins of the family business after completing his refrigeration education. He recognized the need for equipment repair and servicing in addition to sales, leading to the company's expansion into these areas.
In 2014, the next generation of the Barilla family, Drew Barilla, joined the business and infused new ideas into the company's strategy. Under Drew's leadership, the company has evolved to specialize in equipment and service offerings for the walk-in cooler and freezer industry.
Despite the evolution of the company, its roots remain steadfast. The focus on providing top-notch sales and service has never been lost over the years, and every customer is treated with the utmost care and attention.
For those in need of equipment that can provide cooling, look no further. This company stands ready to serve with unmatched expertise and customer service.
