Hoshizaki

Hoshizaki, a family-owned business, traces its origins back to Nagoya, Japan in 1947. Over the decades, the company has expanded globally with offices and factories spanning from America to the Middle East. Notably, the Telford factory in the UK is responsible for producing 80% of the company's ice machines that are sold and distributed throughout Europe.

In 2008, Hoshizaki commercial refrigeration strengthened its position in the European market by acquiring Gram Commercial, a company specialising in high-performance commercial refrigeration. This acquisition, and the subsequent merger which finalised in 2020, underscores Hoshizaki's commitment to enhancing its product offerings in the commercial refrigeration space.

The company recognises that the demands of the catering trade are continually evolving. Consequently, Hoshizaki strives to be a flexible and dynamic business, capable of adapting to the shifting needs of the commercial food service and refrigeration equipment market. Their dedicated Research and Development team is committed to designing advanced, high-quality products, which has contributed to the group's exceptional reputation for durable, top-of-the-range ice machines.

Hoshizaki UK is dedicated to building a relationship of trust with both customers and employees, aiming to provide customers with absolute confidence in their products. The company employs state-of-the-art technology in their factories to optimise the quality of their equipment range. Additionally, they conduct numerous performance and energy efficiency tests to ensure that customers receive only the best products.

All Hoshizaki refrigeration equipment comes with a 24-month parts and labor warranty. In the unlikely event of a breakdown, the company dispatches one of its own engineers with the necessary parts to restore the unit to full functionality. While not the cheapest on the market, Hoshizaki refrigeration are arguably among the best, reflecting their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
