Technology-driven ice production since 2009. Building smarter, more efficient ice machines for a connected world.
ArcticPro was founded in 2009 with a single mission: to eliminate the inefficiency, waste, and downtime that plague conventional ice production. Starting with a team of 12 refrigeration engineers in Charlotte, NC, we built our first IoT-enabled ice machine prototype in 2011.
Today, our 620-person team operates 3 production facilities and 24 service centers, serving operators in 42 countries. We produce 18,000 ice machines annually, each one equipped with our ArcticConnect IoT platform and WaterGuard filtration system.
By 2030, we aim to transition 100% of our product lines to natural refrigerants (R-290 and R-744), reduce water consumption per pound of ice by 50%, and achieve carbon-neutral manufacturing across all facilities.
The turning points that shaped ArcticPro into the company it is today.
Representative project profiles across our core industries, illustrating the scale and application diversity of ArcticPro installations.
Deployed 140 nugget ice dispensers across 8 hospital campuses in 2021. Each unit produces 400 lbs/day with touchless dispensing and NSF/ANSI 12 compliance. ArcticConnect fleet management reduced service calls by 35% in the first 12 months by enabling remote diagnostics and proactive filter scheduling based on actual water consumption data rather than calendar intervals.
Installed 6 industrial flake ice machines at a 50,000 sq ft fish processing facility in 2022, each producing 5 tons/day of subcooled flake ice at -5°C. The installation replaced an aging ammonia-based central ice plant with distributed R-290 units, eliminating the need for a dedicated machine room and reducing refrigerant charge from 800 lbs (NH3) to 6 × 150g (R-290) total.
Ongoing rollout since 2023 of AP-C500 cube ice machines with ArcticConnect monitoring across 200+ franchise locations. Inverter compressors deliver ENERGY STAR-rated efficiency at 7.2 kWh per 100 lbs of ice. Centralized fleet dashboard allows the corporate facilities team to monitor production, energy use, and maintenance status across all sites from a single interface.
ArcticPro products meet the highest safety, hygiene, and energy efficiency standards in the industry.
We're looking for distribution partners, service contractors, and OEM collaborators to help us bring smarter ice technology to every market.
