Appliance marketing company, Danby Products, has acquired MicroFridge (Intirion Corporation) from Mac-Gray Corporation.

MicroFridge is best known for its refrigerator/freezer/microwave combinations which feature a power management system designed to protect against circuit overloads and a charging station. The products are marketed throughout the United States to colleges, hotels and motels, and assisted living facilities, as well as to the federal government for military housing.

"MicroFridge represents a natural complement to our extensive line-up of compact, specialty and home comfort appliances," said James E. Lightfoot, president of Danby Products. "Traditionally, our strength lies in offering innovative products that match consumers' lifestyles and are sold in retail markets in the United States and Canada. This acquisition enables us to increase our penetration of U.S. wholesale markets where MicroFridge is an established brand and recognized leader, including the academic, government, hospitality and office sectors."


Danby intends to maintain the MicroFridge brand, retain all current MicroFridge employees and maintain the corporate office at the MicroFridge facility in Walpole, Mass.
