GREENVILLE, Mich.—If you flipped your TV onto the DIY Network this past weekend, you may have spotted a renovation made possible by a Greenville manufacturer.

The season four premiere of the “Vanilla Ice Project” featured a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen equipped with a variety of appliances made by AGA MARVEL of Greenville.  A request for the industry’s largest refrigerator/freezer led show host Vanilla Ice to AGA Marvel, which had a 72” model. The episode, titled “The Killer Kitchen” also included an AGA professional dishwasher and a three-oven AGA Total Control range cooker, which features touch screen controls.

The new kitchen is part of a 3,000 square foot home in Lake Worth, Florida.

WZZM 13 featured AGA MARVEL in its Made in Michigan series.  You can find the full story here.
