Tyrol, IT — January 3rd, 2026. SUB-ZERO and WM technics are proud to announce a strategic partnership that brings together two of the most forward-thinking forces in the global ice-arena ecosystem. This collaboration marks a new era—one where next-generation resurfacing innovation meets data-driven intelligence, creating an unmatched standard of excellence for rinks around the world. SUB-ZERO and WM are united by a different mindset: build the rink of the future today.
WM has long been synonymous with engineering excellence—pushing the boundaries of what resurfacing machines can achieve. SUB-ZERO has redefined what rink operations should be—turning data, insights, and digital workflows into elevated operations for facilities across North America. Together, we are not just offering tools. We are reshaping expectations of what modern ice management looks like.
Our goal? A standard of ice quality, machine reliability, and operational clarity that is achievable for 20,000 seat arenas to small family run rinks.
This partnership gives rinks confidence that their ice, their equipment, their staff workflows, and their long-term planning are all operating at the highest level.
We believe the rinks of tomorrow will:
- Run with intelligent automation
- Surface ice with unmatched consistency
- Eliminate guesswork from daily operations
- Reduce waste, downtime, and energy costs
- Deliver a player experience that feels unmistakably premium
“WM technics continues to engineer the future of resurfacing. SUB-ZERO strives to be the future of rink intelligence. Together, we’re not just improving arena operations—we’re redefining what it means to have great ice.”
— John Tarantino | SUB-ZERO
“This partnership aligns perfectly with our philosophy: innovation without compromise. With SUB-ZERO, the industry will see what happens when equipment excellence and data intelligence finally converge.”
— Mirko Sparber | WM technics
“Designed for those who take pride in their ice.”
