BUILDING ON THREE GENERATIONS OF INNOVATION

For over five decades and through three generations, U-Line continues to be the leader in innovation, quality and
performance in the premium built-in undercounter ice making, refrigeration and wine preservation market. U-Line
has captivated those with an appreciation for the finer things with exceptional functionality, style, inspired
innovation and attention to even the smallest details. We are known and respected for our unwavering dedication
to product design, quality and selection.

In 1962, Henry Uihlein founded U-Line Corporation as an outgrowth of Ben-Hur Freezer Company and was the first
to develop and patent an automatic stand-alone undercounter residential ice maker. His foresight and determination
to develop new ideas and to succeed when there were no clear guidelines or solutions are evident today. The newest
Uihlein generation continues to build upon the family’s innovative legacy at the Milwaukee, Wisconsin based business
by providing continuity and vision from which new designs and technology continue to be born.

Today the complete U-Line product collection includes Ice Makers, Ice Machines, Wine Captain® Models, Combo®
Models, Refrigerator / Freezers, Refrigerators, Drawer Models and Beverage Centers. The U-Line brand offers
products in the 1000 Series, 2000 Series and the Modular 3000 Series. The 1000 Series offers a more targeted
priced product with appropriate features, while the 2000 Series offers upscale features, advanced technology and
specialized product families. Our Modular 3000 Series provides sleek design and versatile temperature settings with
our U-Select® control. U-Line’s approach to its breadth of products, multiple price points and features allows a
