About Us
Founded in 1945 by Frank Mallek, Tri-City was purchased by Denis and Carole Virnig in 1974. Denis and Carole have owned Tri-City Refrigeration since 1974, over half of Tri-City's life. Denis and Carole have three children who grew up with the business and now work with "mom and dad." Scott Virnig is a senior service technician, Sue (Virnig) Lockman is the Construction Coordinator, and Andrea (Virnig) Jensen is the Operations Manager.
Tri-City employs a staff of 10 full-time team members, including Denis. Tri-City's family includes Mark, who has been with our team since 1988! Scott joined our team in 1992, Sue in 1995, Andrea in 1999, Nancy in 2004, Vern in 2005, Kevin and Karl in 2008. We are a close family and enjoy working together to serve you as our extended family.
