HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (Feb. 9, 2010) - Thermador is taking its line of luxury cooking, cleaning, refrigeration and ventilation appliances on the road this spring as part of a nationwide tour benefiting builders, designers, remodelers and local food banks.

The Pro Expo™ presented by Pella 2010 is a 30-city tour designed to bring together the most prestigious building and home brands like Thermador with those in the design, building and remodeling industries looking to build their businesses, earn continuing education credits and learn about the latest products and services. Kicking off Feb. 2, 2010, at Coors Field in Denver, the tour visits a new city every Tuesday and Thursday through May 13, 2010.

Event organizers have partnered with The Salvation Army to collect non-perishable food items at each tour stop, and donate them to local food banks. Another highlight of the four-month itinerary are stops at some of the country’s most famous sports venues, including Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, AT&T Park in San Francisco, Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisc., Soldier Field in Chicago and Gillette Stadium in Boston.

As one of more than 20 brands on display, and the only luxury kitchen appliance manufacturer, Thermador will be displaying five separate products including a 48-inch Pro Series Harmony® Dual-fuel Range and Hood, 36-inch Pro Series Freedom® French Door Refrigerator, and 24-inch Pro Series Emerald and top-of-the-line Pro Series Sapphire dishwashers. Other leading brands included in the tour include Kohler®, James Hardie®, Schluter Systems®, AZEK®, DuPont® and Contractors.com which will join event presented Pella® Windows and Doors to showcase products, services and the latest building practices.

Training and educational credits will be offered in partnership with the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI®), National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and American Institute of Architects (AIA).
