"Cool" Acquisitions: North Star Ice Ltd.
If you are in the industrial refrigeration business and you are a Genemco customer, then you likely know and love North Star Ice Ltd. North Star Ice is a superior ice maker and equipment brand, but did you know they were recently acquired by Arctic Glacier, LLC.? Arctic Glacier is a leading provider of premium ice products and related services. They announced the acquisition of North Star Ice of Ontario, Canada with the grand opening of a new state-of-the-art production facility in Montreal, Quebec. The new facility and acquisition of North Star reinforce Arctic Glacier's longstanding presence as Canada's largest ice manufacturer and distributor. 

According to BusinessWire, “North Star Ice has an outstanding reputation for customer service and quality products. We are excited to continue their legacy and warmly welcome North Star Ice Ltd. customers and Associates to the Arctic Glacier team,” said Richard Wyckoff, CEO and President of Arctic Glacier, LLC.

Owned and operated by the Smibert family, North Star Ice Ltd. has proudly produced and delivered quality packaged ice products to the retail grocery, hospitality, and recreation industries of Ontario since 1954. ''As we step away from the ice industry, we are confident Arctic Glacier’s depth of resources and recognized industry leadership will deliver the highest quality of product and service to our customers,'' said John Smibert, Vice President of North Star Ice Ltd.

Over the course of its 140-year history, Arctic Glacier has grown to be Canada’s dominant provider of premium packaged ice. From its fifteen Canadian locations, the ice company provides its premium packaged ice to the grocery, convenience, and gas stores, events, hospitality, recreation, and commercial businesses of Canada’s largest provinces. In late May, Arctic Glacier’s new Montreal facility began production, further enabling the ice company to meet the future demands of the growing market. All very fitting for their fun and inspiring slogan, Bringing More to the Party!™.
