Who Owns Hillphoenix?

The brand descends from Hill Refrigeration, founded in 1887 in Trenton, New Jersey, one of America's earliest commercial refrigeration companies. Hill built refrigerated cases and cold storage systems for butcher shops and early grocery stores through the first half of the 20th century.

Mergers formed the modern company: Hill combined with Phoenix Fixture Company to create Hillphoenix, which became a leading maker of refrigerated display merchandisers for the supermarket era. Dover Corporation acquired the business, making Conyers, Georgia its manufacturing and headquarters base.

Under Dover, Hillphoenix grew into a full refrigeration systems supplier, adding rack systems, CO2 transcritical technology, and connected case controls. Its Advansor partnership and later corporate sibling relationship brought natural refrigerant CO2 systems to US supermarkets, accelerating the industry's move away from HFC refrigerants.
