GLADIATOR SETS ITSELF APART THROUGH DESIGN, INNOVATION, SAFETY
Gladiator® GarageWorks rated No. 1 by leading consumer magazine

No one knows the garage like Gladiator® GarageWorks. Gladiator was recently recognized by a leading consumer magazine as the No. 1 overall garage organization system with "excellent" ratings in assembly and construction, the only categories reviewed.

"Gladiator was one of the first brands to help consumers fully appreciate the potential of expanding the usable and livable space of their home through organizing the garage," said Todd Starr, director of Gladiator® GarageWorks. "The garage is typically one of the largest, but most underutilized rooms in a home. Research shows that the garage organization category will continue to grow and Gladiator is positioned to meet those demands."

The brand that revolutionized the garage with the introduction of its Freezerator®-a convertible refrigerator/freezer specifically designed for the garage-continues to lead a category now recognized as one of the fastest growing in home improvement. Gladiator now offers a complete line of garage organization products that includes cabinets, workbenches, flooring and wall storage solutions.

A recent study on garage organization from Peachtree Consulting found that:

• The garage is ranked as the single biggest storage and organization headache in the home-ahead of closets, basements, kitchens, home offices, attics and laundry rooms.
• Cleaning up and organizing the garage is a more highly ranked priority than buying a new computer, building a shed or adding a home office.
• The garage is shifting more from a "male space" to a "shared space" - 50% of garage organization purchase decisions will be made by couples.

Unmistakable Design and Innovation
Born out of the innovation process at Whirlpool Corporation, the Gladiator line has expanded from a single refrigeration product to more than 50 different garage organization solutions in just four short years. It's easy to recognize a Gladiator garage because of the brand's signature tread plate design. This rugged yet refined look was first unveiled on the Freezerator® and has been transferred to products across the Gladiator line. Gladiator has extended its original line to include a new Ready-To-Assemble (RTA) Steel line of products that also incorporates the tread plate style. The RTA Steel line was designed for consumers looking to complete their garage organization project in a single day or weekend.

Gladiator's innovation does not stop with the new RTA Steel line though. Priding itself on new ideas and innovations that help their customers, Gladiator has been recognized through nationwide media attention for its concept products Wall Vacuum-Blower and GaterPak™ Tailgating Station.

Safe and Sound
One way Gladiator has set itself apart from other garage organization brands is through its commitment to the safety of its products. Gladiator is the only garage organization brand that has achieved UL certification on its GearWall®, GearTrack™ and flooring products. This UL classification pertains to its levels of flame and smoke retardance. In addition, Gladiator is one of the only consumer garage organization brands to offer locks on most of its cabinets, keeping hazardous materials out of harms way for children.
