Krack Corporation

What Krack Corporation does

Krack Corporation is a U.S.-based manufacturer of commercial refrigeration equipment, operating as a brand of Hussmann Corporation, which in turn is a subsidiary of Panasonic. Headquartered in Bolingbrook with parent operations in St. Louis, the company designs and produces evaporators, condensers, condensing units, walk-in cooler coils, fluid coolers, and custom-engineered parallel rack systems for commercial customers in North America. Its product portfolio is unified under the Evolve Technologies initiative, which targets regulatory-driven demand for low global warming potential refrigerants including CO2, A2L, and R-290 (propane); the Monoblock R-290 is a self-contained all-in-one condensing and evaporator system with a hermetically sealed, variable-speed design and pre-programmed Dixell controller. The company also sells the Levitor II, Microchannel, and Fluid Cooler condenser lines, condensing units built around Bitzer and Copeland compressors, and specialty process cooling equipment with stainless steel tubes and dedicated coil support systems.

Krack generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales of refrigeration equipment via a network of independent manufacturer sales representatives serving the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with project-level commercial equipment sales. End markets include supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, food processing plants, cold storage and warehouse distribution facilities, wineries and micro-breweries, process cooling operations, and the oil and gas industry. The company maintains digital go-to-market assets including a product catalog website, AutoCAD and REVIT design files, and a representative locator tool, and is co-branded as 'Krack by Hussmann' across LinkedIn and other channels owned by the parent organization. The Monoblock R-290 system is listed under the EPA Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP), is exempt from the Clean Air Act venting prohibition, and complies with CARB and US Climate Alliance standards, reflecting the company's positioning around the regulatory transition away from high-GWP refrigerants.
