VOGT ICE

, LLC
A Brief History Of Our Company.
Henry Vogt Machine Co. was founded as a small machine
shop in Louisville, Kentucky in 1880. In 1938, Vogt built the first Tube-Ice
®
machine and
revolutionized the ice-making industry. Our first “sized-ice” machine quickly replaced the old can-
ice plants, which required much hard labor and large amounts of floor space for freezing, cutting,
and crushing ice by hand.
Today , VOGT ICE

, LLC carries on the tradition as one of the world’s leading producers of ice-
making equipment.
Vogt Energy-Saving Tube-Ice Machines Are Cost Effective.
Today, Vogt Tube-Ice ® machines
enjoy a well-earned reputation as the most energy efficient, dependable ice-making equipment in the
world.
Using as little as one-half to one-third the energy required by competitors’ icemakers, Tube-Ice
®
machines produce the same amount of ice--in restaurants, sports arenas, packing plants, and
wholesale operations around the globe--at great savings.
In addition, Tube-Ice
® machines are renowned for their long life, giving many customers more than
35 years of dependable service. Ask someone who owns one.

All the skill in engineering and fabrication that we have learned in over a century of
