Drees Homes continues exclusive partnership with Whirlpool

Drees Homes has renewed its exclusive partnership with Whirlpool, which is going for 30 years and running.

Kentucky-based Drees Homes was founded more than 85 years ago and is now led by third-generation president and CEO David Drees.

Drees features Whirlpool, KitchenAid and Jenn-Air brand appliances in its homes as part of its agreement with Whirlpool Corporation, which now extends through 2019.

"As a business that has also stood the test of time, we value the strong legacy and traditional community values that Drees exemplifies," said Bob Bergeth, general manager of Contract Builder Sales at Whirlpool Corporation. "We're proud to continue our decades-long relationship with a home builder that has an honest and considerate approach to how it does business with homeowners and industry partners."

"We look forward to continuing to offer top brands from Whirlpool Corporation in all of our homes to back up our commitment to homeowners that they can customize without compromise," said David Metz, VP national purchasing and operations at Drees Homes.

"Whirlpool brand appliances help families give and get the care they need with innovations that make their experience effortless, intuitive and easy. KitchenAid appliances will provide performance, quality craftsmanship and timeless design, especially for culinary-focused homeowners. Jenn-Air products exemplify its reputation as a technology and design innovator," added Barbara Drees Jones, VP marketing at Drees Homes.
