Indel B — since 1967, from Italy
The company that designed Italy’s first 12-volt semi-hermetic compressor now builds the minibars in hotel rooms. Between the two moments: almost six decades, a space shuttle and a design award.
Founded in Italy; first 12/24V DC semi-hermetic compressor designed in Italy.
LT22, the first portable compressor fridge.
First 100,000 fridges sold.
First international partnerships, fridges for the leisure market.
In 1982, NASA chose Indel B to build the refrigerator for the Columbia space shuttle — a unit that had to work in zero gravity and rotate 360°.
