Our Story

CES Hiebing – Serving Southern Wisconsin Since 1984

The story of CES Hiebing begins in 1984, when Scott Hiebing founded Hiebing’s Refrigeration, Inc. in DeForest, Wisconsin. Built on a foundation of integrity, craftsmanship, and genuine customer care, Scott grew the company into a trusted regional leader in commercial refrigeration—serving countless businesses across the Midwest with dependable products and expert service. In 2021, Hiebing’s Refrigeration joined forces with Chicagoland Equipment & Supply (CES), a well-established provider of equipment and services to the food retail and foodservice industries across the Midwest. The merger brought together two companies with shared values and complementary expertise, creating a stronger, more dynamic partner for clients.

Today, CES Hiebing proudly carries forward Scott’s legacy of quality and community-minded service, strengthened by CES’s scale, innovation, and commitment to progress. As part of the CES Family of Companies, we continue to deliver the reliability, partnership, and personal touch that have defined us for more than four decades—powering growth for our customers and communities nationwide.
